As a child, Sukanya Rahman secretly prayed that her family would 'become normal'. This never happened. Dance was, and remained, the family obsession. Eventually, Sukanya too was swept up by the excitement of her mother's and grandmother's daily domestic life -- where 'home' could shift from a comfortable apartment in New Delhi, to a snake-infested room in an Orissan village, and the only stable figure in a long line of foot-tapping gurus, tabla players and dancers, was Ayah with her tin trunk -- to leap into her ancestral footsteps, thankful that her prayers had remained unanswered. Dancing in the Family is the story of how Sukanya's grandmother, born Esther Sherman, in Petoskey, Michigan, transformed herself into Ragini Devi, classical Indian dancer, pioneer and writer of the first book in English on the dances of India. It is the story of her mother's struggle to shake off the 'stigma' of becoming India's first Miss India in order to prove herself, as Indrani Rahman, as one of India's foremost classical Bharata Natyam and Odissi Artistes. It is also the story of Sukanya's own struggle to stay afloat in this family of dynamic, indomitable women. Written with rare honesty and humour about matters close to the heart, this is an insightful and fascinating look into the Indian dance scene from the 1920s on. More than 50 archival family photographs, dating from 1893, contribute to making the book a gem in the history of Indian dance.

This collection of new essays documents the innovative work being done at the intersection of Buddhism and dance. The contributors--scholars, choreographers and Buddhist masters--discuss movement, performance, ritual and theory, among other topics. The final section provides a variety of guided practices.

The first three entries in a Regency romance series featuring a heroine with a knack for finding the right man, just not for herself. After three years in London society, Olivia has extensive notes on every bachelor she’s met, and although she hasn’t landed a husband yet, she’s helped several young women find the perfect match . . . The Matchmaker Since returning from the war, Lord Neville Hawke satisfies his needs with spirits and women. His charms, however, are lost on a well-bred lady like Olivia. After their disastrous meeting, she wants nothing to do with him. Neville, on the other hand, feels something he has not felt in a long time. Olivia makes the darkest days of his past feel a bit more bearable. But since Olivia has made up her mind on Neville and he is not in the market for a wife, it would take a miracle for them to get together—or for just a kiss. The Troublemaker The parents of a troublesome beauty send her off to the Scottish countryside to keep her out of trouble. When she discovers her chaperone is not home, she vows to show her family she can be a good girl on her own. But the arrival of a handsome American in search of justice and revenge might stir up some trouble. The Bridemaker A straitlaced schoolmarm, Mrs. Hester Poitevant runs a successful academy for girls. Yet no one knows that underneath the guise of a stuffy widow, she’s secretly a beautiful young woman. But when she’s forced to stop rakish businessman Adrian Hawke from seducing one of her students, she falls victim to his charms. Now the clever rogue is intrigued by Hester and is determined to uncover what she’s hiding, in more ways than one. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton. Praise for the Matchmaker series “If you like your heroes dark and flawed, then run, don’t walk, to buy The Matchmaker. . . . Becnel gives us true insight into the human spirit and does not stint on creating the ideal atmosphere and recreating the era to near perfection. A powerful love story and a thinking reader’s book.” —RT Book Reviews on The Matchmaker “With this sparkling romance between a highly regarded widow and a thoroughly charming rake, Becnel . . . breathes life into the rigid Regency-era romance genre. . . . Hester’s spirited personality and Adrian’s devil-may-care attitude will appeal to a broad readership. Playful in tone and rich in character, this book is fun, breezy entertainment.” —Publishers Weekly on The Bridemaker
