THE DANCER RETURNS If You Had Survived a Brutal Rape at Gunpoint, Would You Teach Aerobics to Convicted Felons? On a cold December night, at 7:00 PM, in an aerobic dance class, Susan Lee-Titus was raped, beaten and held hostage at gunpoint for two hours. In her graphic testimony she sums up what was lost and gained as a crime victim: “They took my money, my credit cards and my body. They broke twelve teeth, they cut my bleeding hands with wires; but they gave me back something too. They gave me back something that I had lost somewhere on that proverbial road from childhood to adulthood.” The Dancer Returns recounts not only Susan’s painful recovery but her complete healing the day she again put on her dancing shoes and began teaching an aerobics class in which her students were all prison inmates. Her story has become their story…an expression of triumph.
