Synopsis

Precisely because the dance floor stands apart from the everyday world, allowing dancers to play, experiment and take on new roles, it also serves as a stage for human behaviour. Antoinette Benevento, a former national ballroom dancing champion and co-owner of Fred Astaire Dance Studios, has been a student of that stage for twenty-five years. She has discovered that getting out on the dance floor is a powerful and empowering metaphor for living fully in all realms of life. Some of the tenets Antoinette Benevento lives, dances, and teaches are: persistence is a form of beauty; give yourself permission to begin again - and again and again; if you're not willing to risk falling, you'll never learn to walk (or dance); desire is the energy that moves us forward in dance and in life; and, to dance well and to live fully, body and soul need to work together. Building on the ballroom dancing, craze that has swept the country, including the popularity of the television show "Dancing With The Stars" (US version of "Strictly Come Dancing"), "Dancing Through Life" shows that what you learn on the dance floor can help you dance through life.
