Savant Books Announces the Release of Setsuko Tsuchiya's New Book, "The Power of Dance"

HONOLULU - Oct. 9, 2022 - PRLog -- 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. Printed version includes index.

Originally from Japan, Setsuko Tsuchiya traveled to the USA and earned a BA in Liberal Arts from Thomas Edison University while studying medical massage therapy at Hawaii College of Health Sciences.  After completing her undergraduate studies with a focus on dance, and becoming a licensed medical massage therapist, she began wondering if there might be a truly fundamental somatic (body) basis for the burgeoning number of therapies and dance organizations, one independent of language and applicable to all cultures in this increasingly globalized world. Author, dancer, actress and somatic therapist, her belief that partner dancing is at the heart of the power of dance is the basis of this work. THE POWER OF DANCE: PARTNER DANCE FROM BALLROOM TO OLYMPIC SPORT is taken, in part, from her PhD dissertation entitled, "The Power of Partnered Ballroom Dance " in fulfillment of a PhD in Performing Arts in Ballroom and Latin Dance Performance.

"I'm pleased to present this book speaking directly to the power of partnered ballroom dance," says Dr. Tsuchiya. "It is the culmination of over seven years of work spanning my interests in both somatic therapy and dance."
