Swing!  The New Retro-Renaissance Dance!

After a 50-year absence, partner-dancing is back with a vengeance, propelled by a new generation of bands with roots in Hot Jazz, Jump Swing, Western Swing, and Rockabilly.

Hundreds of photos of the bands and dancers, hairstyles, furnishings, vintage cars, exciting retro clothes, and other relics saved from extinction by cutting-edge visionaries. Full of informative directories, lists of recommended recordings, books, films, etc.  This is the first comprehensive guide to a new state of mind being pioneered on the West Coast.
