Advertisement?!? Hardly! More like a public service announcement, if you ask me.
I recently was given a dear friend's copy (Patrick Stevens, for those who knew him) and it's been such a boon. Excellent writing; thoughtful and on-target explanations of contra dance calling mechanics and philosophy both; inspirational, entertaining, provocative, etc. etc. etc. This past month's "Tip of the Month" at our local dance series consisted of several excerpts from the book which illuminated our tip "Move with Poise." This very morning I planned to write to Tony to thank him again for writing the book. I'm utterly delighted that it's now out in a second printing. I encourage all callers to check it out, from curmudgeonly old hands to shiny brand newbies. There's something there for us all.
