CUSTOMERThis book has a lot of pictures so I thought it was going to be a lot of fluff but it is good at showing the steps; has accompanying videos online you can watch and discusses history; fashion and culture as well as dance. The only thing I didnt like was accessing the videos through QR code instead of just a website.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great introduction to Swing dance cultureBy CustomerThis book is a great overview of the Swing dance culture. The bright and vivid pictures jump off the page as the books text reveals some of the key features and stylings of the different Swing dance eras and types. This is a great reference book that immerses you in the culture and introduces you to some of the basic dance patterns and popular songs. The author did an excellent job of capturing the feel and excitement of Swing dance.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love this bookBy margaret cupitI love this book; it has a human story and is full of clear and easy instructions to follow. The art pictures and art work make it so pleasing to read and to give as gifts to those who love to swing dance and to those who want to swing dance. I am buying several to give away to friends who love to dance.
