What exactly is West Coast Swing? Why so much controversy about dance? How do I know if I'm being bullied, and how do I handle it? What makes a really great dance instructor? The first book in Katherine Eastvold's now widely acclaimed West Coast Swing Revolution series, Telling the Truth provides the foundation every swing dancer needs, whether they are new to the dance scene, or a veteran who has been dancing since swing's creation. Creating an almost instantaneous world-wide movement, these are the first scandalous writings that first lit the flame of freedom and understanding in a community that was bogged down by the narcissism, politics and corruption for more than a decade. To this day such famous titles as The Nissy and The Time Has Come, now revamped here, are still the most widely read, recommended and referred to pieces of literature in swing dancing today. Whether you're a dancer or not, there's a lot to be learned about life, living and dance in this fast paced and easy read. A must for the dancer in you - wherever you are.
