“ ‘Exuberance is beauty,’ wrote William Blake, and seeing everyday situations made beautiful by these dancers’ joyful exuberance made me feel happier from its first pages. A wonderful book!”
—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
“This book renders one speechless. But if forced to utter a few words: amazing, original, beautiful, and grand.”
—Amy Krouse Rosenthal, creator of The Beckoning Lovely
Jennifer Grey
“It takes only a moment to be present, but it takes great artistry to capture that moment forever. [These] photographs make time stand still, and for that moment, you question whether the impermanence of life is indeed inevitable.”—Jennifer Grey, actress, winner of Dancing with the Stars
Leah Hager Cohen
“These images are exuberant, egalitarian, and warmly insouciant. One senses a true collaborative spirit between Jordan Matter and his extremely game subjects, and this spirit spills over onto the viewer. Every page invites us to practice the art of boundless imagination.”
—Leah Hager Cohen, author of The Grief of Others
Susan Cain
“I can't stop gazing at the photographs in this remarkable book. They're visually stunning, but that's just the beginning. Jordan Matter's dancers show us what it means to dream and to grieve, to live and to love. In other words, what it means to be human.”
—Susan Cain, author of Quiet
Sharon Salzberg
"This book is a fabulous expression of loving life (whether working or playing) and living fully (whether grieving or dreaming). The amazing photos wholly transform our view of everyday activities. I wonder, if we could see into peoples' souls, would we see them dancing just like this?"
—Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Happiness
Alan Cumming
“This book is something you should pick up every time you have forgotten that there is wit and beauty in the world—literally all around us.”
—Alan Cumming, Tony Award-winning actor
