About   (request update)
I would like to introduce to you a new inspirational and spiritual book and movie script titled "You Gotta Dance" (Rated One of The Top 50 True Story Non-Fiction Books for 2009) and our new website at www.yougottadancect.com. You can view all of our upcoming events, awards and television and radio show interviews.

BOOK SYNOPSIS

In 1987, Michael Daluz, a black U.S. Army veteran and college student with a 3.6 GPA, is nearly beaten to death by a mob of white men as he and his friends leave a local off-campus bar. His act of self-defense, and the arrest and imprisonment that follow, will change his life forever. Harboring a hate, Daluz enters prison in 1988. During his incarceration, he witnesses a miracle and experiences an inner transformation. But his misfortunes are not behind him, and his faith in God prepares him for life-altering battles. A near-fatal, work-related accident leaves him severely injured. Daluz challenges his employer in a civil lawsuit while he fights for custody of his young daughter, Bella, and he doggedly pursues his doctorial education. During a time in his life, Daluz had done it all. He lived the champagne-popping lifestyle, visited fancy night clubs, owned a nice house, and drove expensive cars. But during his twenty-year journey, he realizes what is important. Based on true events, You Gotta Dance is one man’s story of spiritual awakening in the face of crushing hardship.

Since my incarceration, I have acquired my Associates, Bachelors, and Masters Degrees and I will complete my PHD in September 2010. I am also a single father raising my 7 year old daughter, I am a U.S. Army Veteran and I have been working in the substance abuse and mental health profession for the past 15 years. I am currently the Program Director of New Connections in New Haven Connecticut.
