Description
Live your life to the fullest
In Dancing through Life, Allen Brown offers his unique perspective: All life starts with the question Wouldn’t it be great if . . .? Allen believes that a true, authentic life begins with this simple question because it signals an awakening to the possibility of more. We can be more than we think we are, and we can do more than we think we’re capable of doing. And the sense of wonder and possibility contained in Wouldn’t it be great if . . .? isn’t just for the young. It’s for everyone!
This book will inspire you to start living the lives you’ve always wanted to live. The author offers his advice on such topics as—
• trusting your intuition
• broadening your horizons and getting out of your comfort zone
• understanding the power of your own thoughts
• adopting a growth mind-set
• setting and achieving goals
An entrepreneur and self-made millionaire, Allen became an amateur ballroom dancing champion in his mid-eighties. Through the insight he provides in Dancing through Life, you will be reminded that if the music is playing, you should be dancing. We only have one life, and we should live it with gusto!
Advance Praise

Allen has inspired me to learn to prioritize, to make the impossible possible, to reach beyond the stars, and to succeed and celebrate every aspect of my life!”
—Rachel White, judge, Dancing with the Stars (New Zealand)
“Dancing Through Life is funny, insightful, and inspiring. Allen Brown teaches readers how to listen to their intuition and trust their gut feelings.”
—Yolanda Vargas, President of the Professional Dancers Federation
“At a time when social media and external ‘noise’ is drowning out our inner voice, Allen’s reminder to listen, truly listen, is more relevant than ever.”
—Peter Sturgeon, advancing youth through education, mentorship, and love, Boys & Girls Club of the Coachella Valley
“Dancing Through Life will help anyone who is hesitant to take that first step in their life journey.

What a gift to the world!”
—Jeeyoon Kim, concert pianist
“As a World Ballroom Dance Champion and an immigrant who came to the US in pursuit of broader perspectives, my instinct has always been to live a life less ordinary. Allen has been my mentor since I first touched American soil and has taught me to see and think beyond the possible—to see things not for what they are, but for what they can become.”

—Clara Hayashigawa, school counselor, Miller Elementary
“Mr. Allen Brown continuously invests in the future of our most sacred commodity: children. To date, Allen has invested in excess of a million dollars in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coachella Valley because he believes in the crucial life-saving work that we do. As Allen dances graciously through life, he affords youth the same opportunity by helping us help them reach their full potential, which is the best return on investment we can ever hope for.”

This book is a memoir and also a self-help book, i cherished both sides and enjoyed it. Although the matters brought up in the book are repeated in almost every self-help book, every author's perspective and reflection on them are pretty unique, as was the case for this one. This book resonated with my own fears and worries and reassured me it was ok to have multiple interests and go after them even if you think you are older than that to do it. I specifically enjoyed the questions at the end of each chapter. I'd recommend this book to people (just like myself) who look for reassurance and motivation.
Dora Archie O, Reviewer
I love the tone of this book. Though the author explores matters that are not new to the reader, his approach towards trusting your intuition, broadening your horizons and simply cultivating and sustaining a growth mindset- is quite interesting as it correlates to dance and music.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
I know readers would love the questions to reflect upon at the end of every chapter. I did.
