I can recommend it. Clear writing, engaging anecdotes, and much to reflect on in terms of dancing today. For example, much has been said on this forum about the ugliness of the "get down" posture that Frankie introduced to Lindy Hop, and it was very interesting to read about the context in which that happened. I was also interested in his memories of close dancing back in the 20s and 30s, and how that compares to "blues" danced today in the UK.

Anyone reading any dance-related books that they'd like to review or discuss?
