{"product_id":"dancing-with-cuba","title":"Dancing with Cuba","description":"In 1970 a young dancer named Alma Guillermoprieto left New York to take a job teaching at Cuba's National School of Dance. For six months, she worked in mirrorless studios (it was considered more revolutionary); her poorly trained but ardent students worked without them but dreamt of greatness. Yet in the midst of chronic shortages and revolutionary upheaval, Guillermoprieto found in Cuba a people whose sense of purpose touched her forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this electrifying memoir, Guillermoprieto-now an award-winning journalist and arguably one of our finest writers on Latin America- resurrects a time when dancers and revolutionaries seemed to occupy the same historical stage and even a floor exercise could be a profoundly political act. Exuberant and elegiac, tender and unsparing, \u003cb\u003eDancing with Cuba\u003c\/b\u003e is a triumph of memory and feeling.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833698758861,"sku":"9780375725814","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_7d58aeef-8a49-4c01-9d1c-160210329c86.jpg?v=1790894407","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/dancing-with-cuba","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
