Review:

Five Stars (out of Five)

Anyone who has glimpsed a football player catch a touchdown pass and celebrate with a jubilant jig knows what victory dancing is. In Nancy Pristine's new self-help book Victory Dancing for Teens: Smooth Moves for Getting to the Winner's Circle, the author is most interested in the "feelings" a person has while victory dancing, namely, "you feel as if you can do anything, be anything, and conquer any challenge that comes your way. Any self-doubt or fear is replaced by total exhilaration and positive energy." The book lays out a clear and simple blueprint for gaining confidence, energy, and a Zen-like calm in order to deal with the ups and downs of life's challenges.

The key elements to victory dancing include visualization, color cues, and motivational music. There are three key colors: green for confidence, red for alertness, and blue for calmness. Whether to choose corresponding music is up to the individual. Visualizing the color green, for example, while listening to one's chosen music, along with the repetition of some prescribed affirmations, should then lead to a feeling of confidence and focus.

Pristine encourages repetition and gives her readers permission to fake that confident (or alert or calm) feeling until it comes naturally. She uses the term "cellular memory" often, and cites the famous experiment by Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, who trained dogs to salivate when they heard a bell ring--associating the sound with food whether their kibble was present or not. Pristine makes the "mind-body connection" between Pavlov's dogs and her readers' responses to outside stimuli (such as the opinions of parents, teachers, and peers). Through her victory dancing method, she suggests teens can retrain their negative thinking into positive thinking on a cellular level.

Pristine has an energetic, friendly tone that will appeal to teen readers. When she introduces "cellular memory," she follows up quickly with a joke: "and I don't mean your phones!" She addresses teenage issues--pressures in sports, academics, and romance--without talking down to her audience. Her own experience of being a teen tennis prodigy (she competed at Nationals for the state of Maryland and then went on to play in college) should give her some clout in teen circles. She has also played tennis professionally, coached the sport, and been a motivational speaker, life coach, and radio-talk show host. Two of her other books, The Victory Dance and The Zen Game, are for adults and address the same issue of ridding oneself of negative thinking. With a cheerleader like Pristine, teens as well as adults might be dancing to victory before they know it.
