A candid look at how evergreen dancers sustain their craft, navigate aging, and challenge the dance world’s obsession with youth. What does it mean to keep dancing against the tide of ageism? Still Moving offers an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of senior professional dancers, artists who continue to perform and create, defying expectations well beyond the conventional limits of a dancer’s career. Through in-depth conversations with twenty performers ranging from 41 to 109 years old, Sonia York-Pryce reveals stories of resilience, adaptation, and unwavering passion for movement. These dancers, hailing from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia, challenge ingrained biases in the dance industry while embodying the limitless potential of an aging body. Their experiences inspire not only younger dancers wondering about longevity in their careers but also anyone invested in the intersections of creativity, aging, and well-being. Still Moving is not simply a book about dance; it engages in a broader cultural dialogue about ageism and the evolving nature of artistic expression. For dancers, educators, researchers, and those in fields such as somatic practices, gerontology, and social sciences, this book champions a future where dance is not bound by age but enriched by experience.
