One of the world’s legendary artists and bestselling author of The Creative Habit shares her secrets—from insight to action—for harnessing vitality, finding purpose as you age, and expanding one’s possibilities over the course of a lifetime in her newest New York Times bestseller Keep It Moving.

At seventy-eight, Twyla Tharp is revered not only for the dances she makes—but for her astounding regime of exercise and nonstop engagement. She is famed for religiously hitting the gym each morning at daybreak, and utilizing that energy to propel her breakneck schedule as a teacher, writer, creator, and lecturer. This book grew out of the question she was asked most frequently: “How do you keep working?”

Keep It Moving is a series of no-nonsense mediations on how to live with purpose as time passes. From the details of how she stays motivated to the stages of her evolving fitness routine, Tharp models how fulfillment depends not on fortune—but on attitude, possible for anyone willing to try and keep trying. Culling anecdotes from Twyla’s life and the lives of other luminaries, each chapter is accompanied by a small exercise that will help anyone develop a more hopeful and energetic approach to the everyday.

Twyla will tell you what the beauty-fitness-wellness industry won’t: chasing youth is a losing proposition. Instead, Keep It Moving focuses you on what’s here and where you’re going—the book for anyone who wishes to maintain their prime for life.

Industry Reviews

"An exhilarating melange of sage advice and stamina-building exercises."
O: The Oprah Magazine

"A self-help book about the body, mind and spirit, and an apotheosis of her experience as a dancer choreographer and artistic director....motivationally, this is a wise and fun book...it has sage, not so stoic advice from a dance warrior ready for a challenge in this or any other season."
Edge Media Network

"The book contains a series of emotional lessons - such as intentionality, body maintenance, change, motivation, recovery - and each with a corresponding assignment for real growth. And Tharp's writing is casual; much like a letter from a wise friend who's always looking out for you."
Boomer Magazine

"This book is two books in one: First, a dancer's story of injury, depression, and healing; and second, a how-to book for anyone who is facing aging. As with her books The Creative Habit and The Collaborative Habit, this one has grit because Tharp has figured all this out for herself....Of course, Tharp herself, still choreographing in her late '70s, is an inspiration."
