Without Reservations by Alice Steinbach

A book review: Without Reservations by Alice Steinbach
This memoir, published in 2000 by Random House includes a marvelous chapter on ballroom dancing in Oxford, England, the author's first formal lessons after free dancing as a teen. On pages 179 to 185, we see what fun she has, all while maintaining a clear, realistic view of her experience. She eventually forgets to worry and goes from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
