Dance Your Way Home: A Journey Through the Dancefloor

A landmark social history of the dancefloor that gets to the heart of what it is that makes us move.

Why do we dance? What does dancing tells us about ourselves, individually and collectively? And what can it do for us? Whether it be at home, ’80s club nights, jungle raves or volunteer-run spaces and youth centres, Emma Warren has sought the answers to these questions her entire life. Dancing doesn’t just refract the music and culture within which it evolves; it also generates new music and culture in and of itself.

At the intersection of memoir, social and cultural history, Dance Your Way Home is an intimate foray onto the dancefloor – wherever and whenever it may be – that speaks to the heart of what it is that makes us move.
