Ballroom Dancing Takes Center Stage in New Book ‘Word Dances’
POLAND, Ohio (PRWEB) December 04, 2014 -- Author Joseph Michael Sepesy shares his experiences starting dance lessons at the age of 59, as a treatment for his post-traumatic stress disorder, in his new book, “Word Dances: A Collection of Verses and Thoughts about Ballroom Dancing” (published by Lulu).
“Having experienced the joy of dancing, numerous thoughts about dancing began to come to me,” Sepesy says. “My book presents ballroom dancing, as never presented before.”
“Word Dances” is a compilation of Sepesy’s thoughts on dancing in the form of poems and short stories. He offers reflections on and explorations of his personal experiences with dancing, hoping to evoke similar memories in others. Aimed at beginners and seasoned dancers alike, this collection speaks to the impact that dance can have on anyone’s life and well-being.
An excerpt from “Word Dances”:
“During this time of life’s transition, I found thought upon thought about dancing germinating in my mind. Time to put them to paper—time for other dancers to relate, smile, and say, ‘Yes, I know. That’s exactly what happened to me.’”
