This dance video brilliantly captures, in condensed form, Cassie Sleight’s personal journey from a male-dominated world where men lead and the women follow to a world undergoing change, a place where Cassie finds the courage to belong and to come to terms with a significant trauma from her past.
Note for Readers
‘In and Out of Step’ is as much about the world that Cassie Sleight lived in and how the people in it shaped her as a person as it is about Cassie’s personal journey to belonging. The novel is about the ripple effect of life, about how what happens around us influences us as much as what happens to us. The title refers to the way that Cassie, a championship dancer, interprets her world and reactions to it through dance.
