"NORMA
MILLER'S memoir takes you step-by-step
through the glorious Lindy Hop
years of the Swing Era. She was
there during the initial years;
saw it develop, thrive, and take
to the air; travel downtown, across
the country, and around the globe.
As part of that seminal and highly
influential group, Whitey's Lindy
Hoppers, she, along with dancers
like Frankie Manning (who created
the first aerial step), took the
dance into the movies, onto Broadway,
and to London, Paris, Australia,
and Brazil. Norma loves Swing
and the Lindy, and her story confirms
their romance time and again."
