Why did dance and dancing became important to the construction of a new, modern, Jewish/Israeli cultural identity in the newly formed nation of Israel? There were questions that covered almost all spheres of daily life, including “What do we dance?” because Hebrew or Eretz-Israeli dance had to be created out of none. How and why did dance develop in such a way? Dance Spreads Its Wings is the first and only book that looks at the whole picture of concert dance in Israel studying the growth of Israeli concert dance for 90 years—starting from 1920, when there was no concert dance to speak of during the Yishuv (pre-Israel Jewish settlements) period, until 2010, when concert dance in Israel had grown to become one of the country’s most prominent, original, artistic fields and globally recognized. What drives the book is the impulse to create and the need to dance in the midst of constant political change. It is the story of artists trying to be true to their art while also responding to the political, social, religious, and ethnic complexities of a Jewish state in the Middle East.

Are you feeling stuck, lost, depressed, stressed, anxious? Or you just want to feel more happier and at peace? Then this book is for you. I grew up in one of the poorest council estates in England and I have experienced all kinds of abuse and traumatic experiences. A lot of the people who grew up in the area are dead, in jail or on drugs. I used to be so negative, angry and depressed. I just thought that’s how I am, nothing I can do about it! Now I am a lot more positive and at peace. I have either seen it all, done it all or heard it all nothing can shock me. I am a qualified nurse, coach, leader and entrepreneur. Over the years I had ups and downs and have done a lot of self-destructive behaviour. I have been on a crazy journey and healed in different environments from monasteries in Asia to kitchen parties in Kent. I have summarised all the knowledge I have gained to help me change my mind and my life and hopefully it will help you too!
