"Captivating...equal parts memoir and cultural history, Henry
Alford seamlessly interweaves heartwarming and hilarious anecdotes
about his deep dive into all things dance" (Misty Copeland, The New
York Times Book Review). When Henry Alford wrote about his
experience with a Zumba class for The New York Times, little did he
realize that it was the start of something much bigger. Dance would
grow and take on many roles for Henry: exercise, stress reliever,
confidence builder, an excuse to travel, a source of ongoing
wonder, and-when he dances with Alzheimer's patients-even a kind of
community service. Tackling a wide range of forms (including
ballet, hip-hop, jazz, ballroom, tap, contact improvisation, Zumba,
swing), Alford's grand tour takes us through the works and careers
of luminaries ranging from Bob Fosse to George Balanchine, Twyla
Tharp to Arthur Murray. Rich in insight and humor, Alford mines
both personal experience and fascinating cultural history to offer
a witty and ultimately moving portrait of how dance can express all
things human. And Then We Danced "is in one sense a celebration of
hoofer in all its wonder and variety, from abandon to refinement.
But it is also history, investigation, memoir, and even, in its
smart, sly way, self-help...very funny, but more, it is joyful-a
dance all its own" (Vanity Fair).
