IS THERE ANOTHER DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?
WAIT! Wait! Wait! No need for panic. This isn’t about actor Daniel S. Janik or actress Setsuko Tsuchiya and sudden ill health. It IS about Setsuko Tsuchiya just finishing here PhD in Ballroom and Latin Dance Performance, and the release of the more literary form of her dissertation as a book. THE POWER OF DANCE: Partner Dance From Ballroom to Olympic Sport (Savant 2022) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737643162. Our household is a Dr. Dr. one now.
But more important than the degree, is, as I’ve always held, the journey there. I’ve enjoyed watching Dr. Tsuchiya over the seven years of her doctoral work grow in both knowledge and wisdom especially in regard to Ballroom and Latin-American dance. What impressed me most about her dissertation and book, however, is her way of looking at Ballroom and Latin-American dance: As PARTNER dance. The power of dance is certainly there irregardless of form, but I never looked at the unique power of partner dance as she has in her book. Introduced by World Champion and Adjudicator, Mr. Albert Franz, it’s replete with interesting new ways of looking at partner dance, as the title states, from ballroom to Olympic sport.
“Keen amateur dancers of the world: At last, a single authoritative book encapsulating everything necessary to move from social ballroom to performance and competitive DanceSport and on to the Olympics. Includes history, definitions, syllabi, dance notation, and the power of dance with its unique ability to change lives.”
What more can I say other than the book became an Amazon genre bestseller within the first week of its release!
