Out of Step

Out of Step is the story of a poor little rich girl, an identical twin, and the daughter of the famous king and queen of ballroom dancing, Arthur and Kathryn Murray. As Arthur builds his dancing empire, shy and quiet Jane is swept along coping with her mother's attempted suicide, her father's temper, and moves from coast to coast. Just as she comes into her own as a journalist and is finally out of the limelight, she marries and serendipity thrusts her into the back seat once more as her husband, Henry Heimlich, becomes the darling of the medical world saving thousands with his "maneuver." Jane Heimlich writes with emotion and wit of her own dance through life, never dull, but always, Out of Step. For a world now caught up in So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With The Stars, this wonderful memoir will tell you, in intimate detail, how it all began.
