I read this book the first time over thirty years ago, and just re-read it, as I get ready to go back into the World of Dance as a Flamenco teacher. Papa Shawn's descriptions of the events and places he found himself as an American MALE dancer (when nice boys did NOT dance!) are hilarious. He goes into great detail about going to the local hardware stores to find "authentic Asian Headpieces" (FUNNELS turned upside down!), and how he and his companies brought dance to the Wild Wild West...Colorado!
This is a delightful read for anyone who has ever danced or loves dance, but a MUST for every "nice boy" who is dancing today!
