I just started reading "The Dancing Years" by Bill and Bobbie Irvine. I just realize that there are so many similarity between them and our partnership - not sure if those are something quite common in all partnerships, or just us. Although I'd like to think that that means we have the potential to be world champion  Grin Grin Grin . Wishful thinking.

The reason I read it was, well, I am quite interested in the history of ballroom, and the four schools of thought. And considering that the Irvines were one of the founders of Square schools - and they competed against Peter Eggleton, who was also the round school founder (?). So I thought it might give me some insight.

Sounds like a great book,millitiz.  Is it still in print?

Haven't read much lately, but I have a ton of stuff queued up in my Kindle library. It's really enjoyable. Apparently, a lot of authors put their e-books on "sale" for free download periodically. So, every couple weeks, I log into my Amazon account and download anything free that looks appealing.  This is awesome!
