Senta Duffield,
Durban-based belly dance teacher, public speaker and businesswoman has written
her first book.
Titled Dancing with your
Skeletons, it is a self-improvement book which brings into our everyday
lives George Bernard Shaw’s quote “If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your
closet, you’d best take it out and teach it to dance”.
The book teaches that
without even stepping into a dance class, everyone has access to one of the most
powerful healing modalities, and can benefit from the profound joy, strength,
grace and love that dance offers!
“We all have a
skeleton in our closet,” says Duffield. “Something that we have done or that
has happened to us that has made our lives difficult, has caused us pain and
has left physical, mental and emotional scars. Imagine the possibilities when
you learn to dance with your skeletons and ultimately to heal them in such a
way that you will never put them back in the closet again!
Every dance begins
with one step, reading this book is your first step in a new, beautiful and
exciting dance,” she adds.
Dancing With Your Skeletons is a three-part book, offering the reader
three different and separate ways to experience dance healing, or a book as a
whole giving an impressive tool to gently and easily facilitate dance healing
in your own life.
In Part 1 South African dancers share their
personal dance healing stories, in Part 2 Senta explains dance and dance
healing, and leads the reader through a series of fun, yet meaningful
visualisation exercises, and Part 3 is a Dance Directory giving insight into
the background, healing properties, dance movements and messages from 44
popular dances.
Dancing with your Skeletons is published internationally by Balboa
Press and available on Amazon and the Balboa Press website (http://www.balboapress.com/) as a
hard-cover, paperback and e-book. Duffield is currently printing a South
African paperback version, supporting local printers and giving South African
readers a local book price.
