DOING THE HEADY: "The Cupping Dance"

By Carl Raines
Regular price $17.00
Book cover type

Carlo has lived quite the successful life.  As a pharmaceutical rep, he seems to be living the perfect life with his nice house, nice car, and ever-growing career.  But in his soul, Carlo is disillusioned and disgusted.  After formally submitting his resignation, Carlo sells all he has from his past life and takes a job as the lead caretaker for a mountain resort for the wealthy, The Meadows.

Life at The Meadows is exactly what Carlo hopes it would be - full of hard work, meeting new people, becoming one with nature, and maybe even finding love along the way.

He found that love with a pretty math genius named Molly.  Together they constructed Heady to take to a Halloween party.  As Carlo tried to figure out how to dance with Heady, he accidentally created a fun, intimate new dance where couples dance together again.

It’s called “The Heady” and is the “cupping dance.”  It’s less of a dance than it is a new position and can be danced to almost any music.  The “cupping” part is what makes it intimate and fun.  It began by spreading to Reno and now is appearing everywhere.

Doing the Heady is a novel about love - passionate romantic love, love of self, love of friendship, love of family and finding love within.

It’s time to dance together again.
