BOOK REVIEW Man of Confi-Dance By: Raoul Weinstein Reviewed by Jean Krupa
Raoul takes us on a winding tale as we learn how dance has transformed him into a man of confidance and how others can learn confidence by becoming a ballroom dancer. This book is not just for men, though. I felt a little conspicuous reading it and was reassured that this book is also for women, a great gift to give to that man in your life, be it son, brother, nephew, friend, boyfriend or husband. It is filled with wonderful quotes about dance at the beginning of each chapter.Men can learn that by enriching their lives through dance they can make the women in their lives happier, raise their own self-esteem and possibly see the world. Written by a USA Dance member, past competitor, now a social dancer and seasoned dance host at sea and on land. Sharing his love of ballroom dancing, he takes us on his journey to become a man of confi-dance and make each dance an enjoyable experience for his partner of the dance. Etiquette, proper behavior, manner of speech, dress, courtesy and dance ability, floor craft, awareness of your partners abilities are all tools of the trade for the man of confi-dance. The book is interspersed with information on health benefits, social benefits and coping with some of life disappointments. 18 Dance Floor
