Dancing in the Moonlight
Lieutenant Magdalena Cruz had come home…but it wasn't the way she'd envisioned her return. And though all she wanted was to be alone, infuriatingly handsome Dr. Jake Dalton—of the enemy Daltons—wouldn't cooperate. And she needed him to, because the walls around her heart were dangerously close to crumbling every time he came near….
When Men Dance: Choreographing Masculinities Across Borders
While dance has always been as demanding as contact sports, intuitive boundaries distinguish the two forms of performance for men. Dance is often regarded as a feminine activity, and men who dance are frequently stereotyped as suspect, gay, or somehow unnatural. But what really happens when men dance? When Men Dance offers a progressive vision that boldly articulates double-standards in gender construction within dance and brings hidden histories to light in a globalized debate.
Much Ado About Nothing boasts one of Shakespeare's most delightful heroines, most dancing wordplay, and the endearing spectacle of intellectual and social self-importance bested by the desire to love and be loved in return. It offers both the dancing wit of the "merry war" between the sexes, and a sobering vision of the costs of that combat for both men and women. Shakespeare dramatizes a social world in all of its vibrant particulars, in which characters are shaped by the relations between social convention and individual choice.
Oranges and Lemons: Singing and Dancing Games A collection of singing and dancing games that children will just love to learn.
Many traditional favourites are here, including 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush', 'Ring-a-Ring O'Roses', and 'The Grand Old Duke of York' - and they are all charmingly illustrated by Ian Beck. Each game also has easy-to-follow line drawings to explain how it's played and a musical score of the melody.
Forty years after its original publication, James Agee's last novel
seems, more than ever, an American classic. For in his lyrical,
sorrowful account of a man's death and its impact on his family, Agee
painstakingly created a small world of domestic happiness and then
showed how quickly and casually it could be destroyed.
On a sultry summer night in 1915, Jay Follet leaves his house in
Knoxville, Tennessee, to tend to his father, whom he believes is dying.
The summons turns out to be a false alarm, but on his way back to his
family, Jay has a car accident and is killed instantly. Dancing back
and forth in time and braiding the viewpoints of Jay's wife, brother,
and young son, Rufus, Agee creates an overwhelmingly powerful novel of
innocence, tenderness, and loss that should be read aloud for the sheer
music of its prose.
