A clarion call to get up on the dance floor.' FINANCIAL TIMES

Why do we dance together? What does dancing tell us about ourselves, individually and collectively? Whether at home, in '80s club nights, Irish dancehalls or youth centres, Emma Warren has sought the answers to these questions her entire life. Dancing is a part of our stories - the part that finds us as children dancing on the toes of adults; that triggers communication across borders and languages; that embraces ordinary dancing, hesitant dancers and the joy of moving to music. Dance Your Way Home speaks to the heart of what it is that makes us move - wherever and whenever that may be.

'A fast track in understanding the secret formula that brings on collective euphoria through music and dance. It's brilliant.' GILES PETERSON
