Dancing in the Streets:
A History of Collective Joy

How has dancing served as an agent of transformation and group formation over the past millennia? Dancing in the Streets is a synthetic history of ecstatic dancing and its roles in human society across cultures and time periods. Constructing an argument that spans from the ancient Greeks and early Christian practices to the present day, Ehrenreich makes a powerful case for moving together as a core human tool for creating community and revelation that has been mostly dismissed in contemporary mass culture. Ehrenreich, who recently passed away, was a profound thinker and practitioner of leveling, social justice work. This book is a core work for those connecting to embodied movement and its potential roles in personal and social change.
