**
An excellent overview of the history of jazz and swing dance in a context of American society in the 1930s and 1940s -- I HIGHLY recommend this book.


**This Thing Called Swingby Christian Batchelor. ISBN 0-9530631-0-0. Apart from tracing the parallel development of swing music and swing dancing it is supposed to have a great list of dance films.

** -- doesn't have to do with Lindy Hop per say, but it's a fabulous book, extremely well written and is written by one of the best tap dancers/Lindy Hoppers I know!

**This symbol before a book means that I either own it/have read it/or have had it recommended to me so often that I feel it's probably extremely worthwhile to have. All others I have no firsthand knowledge of.

"Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion." -Martha Graham
