In this episode of the Yale University Press podcast, we talk with Mindy Aloff about her book Why Dance Matters. Why Dance Matters is a passionate and moving tribute to the captivating power of dance, not just as an art form but as a language that transcends barriers.
At the end of this episode, we discuss dance in the Asian American community and a moving letter by academic scholar Yutian Wong on her parents’ love of ballroom dancing, circulated after the Monterey Park mass shooting (January 21, 2023) at Star Ballroom Dance Studio.
