Dance themed books

I would like to find a fun dance related book to read. I don't want a book on patterns and techniques. I would like to find a fiction, biography or autobiography related to dancing, preferably ballroom related.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Of course, I can't remember the name

But my instructor just loves this coffee-table sized book he has.

Let's see if I can remember the premise right - it's by a non-dancer, who is a photographer, and it's his impression about ballroom dancing. I've glanced thru it and it has some great shots.

Ahh, a quick search thru amazon brought this up - Ballroom Dancing: The Romance, Rhythm and Style, from the descriptions it sounds right. Keyword "Ballroom" brought up nearly 150 books, BTW.

Hi. I read a good book called, "He Goes, She Goes" (sorry can't remember the author). It's a recent novel about a young woman coming to terms with her dad's death and reengaging with her mom and sister...finding life and refuge in her dance studio.

The book "Tango" by Isabel Munoz was amazing. It has a wonderful story as well as some poetry and beautiful photography.
