Calling For Blanket Dance - Unleashing the Joy of Movement

The Power of Blanket Dance

Imagine a world where people are connected through the sheer joy of movement. A world where dance is not confined to stages and studios, but instead spills onto the streets and into homes. Now imagine a dance that requires nothing more than a blanket and a willingness to let go.

This is the essence of Blanket Dance: a beautiful, energetic, and liberating form of expression that can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age, ability, or background. Let's explore how Blanket Dance is calling for a revolution and inviting people to unleash their inner dancers.

An Inclusive Dance Experience

Blanket Dance breaks down barriers and embraces inclusivity. Unlike traditional forms of dance that require specific training or physical attributes, Blanket Dance welcomes everyone to participate. It offers a safe space for creativity, self-expression, and connection, without judgment or limitations.

Whether you are a seasoned dancer or someone who has never danced before, Blanket Dance becomes a gateway to moving your body freely and harnessing the power of collective movement. It invites people of all ages to let go of self-consciousness and surrender to the music, wrapped in the warmth of their own blanket.

The Ritual of Uniting Through Dance

Blanket Dance is not just about individual expression; it goes beyond that. It is a collective experience that brings people together in a rich tapestry of movement. Picture a sunny park or a bustling city street, where participants gather with their vibrantly colored blankets, radiating positivity and anticipation. The music starts playing, and the blankets gracefully swirl and sway, creating a mesmerizing visual symphony.

What makes Blanket Dance truly unique is the physical connection it fosters.

The shared experience of dancing under the same blanket amplifies the sense of unity and community, erasing all boundaries.

A moving and deeply engaging debut novel about a young Native American man finding strength in his familial identity, from a stellar new voice in fiction.

Told in a series of voices, Calling for a Blanket Dance takes us into the life of Ever Geimausaddle through the multigenerational perspectives of his family as they face myriad obstacles. His father’s injury at the hands of corrupt police, his mother's struggle to hold on to her job and care for her husband, the constant resettlement of the family, and the legacy of centuries of injustice all intensify Ever’s bottled-up rage. Meanwhile, all of Ever’s relatives have ideas about who he is and who he should be. His Cherokee grandmother urges the family to move across Oklahoma to find security; his grandfather hopes to reunite him with his heritage through traditional gourd dances; his Kiowa cousin reminds him that he’s connected to an ancestral past. And once an adult, Ever must take the strength given to him by his relatives to save not only himself but also the next generation of family.

How will this young man visualize a place for himself when the world hasn’t given him a place to start with? Honest, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting, Calling for a Blanket Dance is the story of how Ever Geimausaddle found his way to home.
