The dramatic and inspirational story of the “Syrian Billy Elliot”.
The human plight of Ahmad Joudeh constitutes an extraordinary story about the salvational function of art, of dance, and of the importance of continuing to fight for one’s own dreams and passions.
Dance has always been a universal language that has no need of words in conveying a message of peace and love to the entire world.
For Ahmad Joudeh dance is not only enjoyment or a sport: it’s what keeps him alive in the midst of the rubble, the bombings, the destruction. Dance leads him along a path of artistic, professional and human growth.
In this lucid and moving book, Ahmad recounts his story for the first time. It is a compelling read that grabs the reader and doesn’t let go until the very last word.
