Dancing Beyond Covid

A journal writer's clear-eyed journey into the new world beyond the Covid crisis that nearly destroyed his life.

In this third and final volume of his memoirs of the Covid years, Jim Gold considers how the pandemic changed him in ways he barely realized when he wrote Dancing Out Of Covid. Then, overjoyed by the realization, not only that he had survived the plague, but that his livelihood of leading folk tours of the world had recuperated as well. Then, little by little, Jim came to understand how the impact of Covid-19 had transformed all his activities—his leadership of folkdance groups, his relationship to the guitar, his esoteric studies, and his writing. Join him on this absorbing journey and discover how the pandemic altered his thinking, his passion, and his understanding of his life's path.

Jim Gold brings color to his worlds as a folk dance teacher, choreographer, musician, writer, tour organizer, and president of his travel company, Jim Gold International Folk Dance Tours. His welcoming personality and enthusiasm for life inspires his folk dance students and travelers alike. He's also a classical and folk guitarist. His one-man show has appeared on TV and in schools and universities across the USA. He has also written eleven books, many of which chronicle his varied life.
