About the Book

We are all familiar with the cliche stereotypes and jokes about privileged white men dancing and jumping around awkwardly and uptight. Have you ever been called out for being too "white" while dancing or during certain social situations? Arons offers helpful exercises and advice to overcome these white insecurities in his "12 Step Guide to Overcoming 'Whiteness' Without Trying to Be 'Black'". With cutting edge discussions on practicing rhythm, movement, and context awareness, Arons frames the issues of race and politics in new and provocative ways.
About the Author: Jonathan Arons is a Grammy winning New York City trombonist who has backed up such artists as Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, and many others as a member of the world renowned Chops Horns (Chopshorns.com). Jazz credits include playing with the Dave Holland Big Band on the 2005 Grammy winning album Overtime. In Salsa/Merengue, he has played with Cuco Valoy and Hector Tricoche. But Arons is most known as the "dancing trombonist", having appeared on various television shows playing a little trombone and doing a lot of dancing. These television appearances, which have become popular YouTube clips, include America's Got Talent: Season 3, Steve Harvey's Big Time, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He has degrees in Jazz Performance and Biochemistry from Oberlin College. In addition, he is involved with his parents' school The Melody Arons Center for Applied Preschool Research. Coming from a lineage of artists and civil rights activists, Arons continues the tradition through performing and education.
