From the jacket flap
Though the entire country is engaged in this dance revival, the L.A. scene is particularly alive, Babitz finds, because there have always been people in Los Angeles who insist on going out and being "in the scene", and plenty of music, charm, colorful groups of people, and adventure to lure them. She attributes the dance craze to the fact that singles bars died when people sobered up and realized just how abysmal that scene was. Drawn by the vivacious and electric dance scene, people now meet others who come for lessons, and immediately embrace the ambition to be as one with the music, the night, and someone, maybe you.
Eve brings the flirtatious energy of dancing alive like no other writer. She describes salsa as "a dance of contradictions". "On the one hand, you want to 'be small, ' as people who lead you will say if your steps are too big. But on the other hand, you want to stagger your competition by the immensity of yourintensity. You want your own smoldering pride and divine fire to consume the room, and yet you want to hardly move". Two by Two is not a book that teaches you how to dance, but it will surely make you want to learn once you've read it.
