Reviews


"Thank you for sending your book! What an accomplishment that is! I celebrate your persistence in getting it all together and your craft in the way you share the stories. It is so well done. I have just read various entries, not all, as yet, but got such a kick out of the different situations. Like the story about Eldon Harrison. . . never dancing in the nude! It was quite funny. I am proud to know you. . . an author who is published! Congratulations on all your work in making it happen! Your son's illustrations are also delightful. I know where his talent comes from. It is all such a work of art. I liked the picture on the back cover; you are such a lovely and amazing lady."

"Dancing in the Rain by Betty McLain brought back joyous childhood memories of dancing parents. Although not a dancer myself, this book made me want to get up and dance. Filled with anecdotes, instructions, advice and inspiration, it will lift your spirits."

"Your delightful book is full of wonderful comments by old friends and very useful dance information. It's a book many people can relate to. There are so many wonderful quotes, especially the one by Dick Falk on Attitude!"

"I just sat in my car for a couple of hours and read your book. I got a chuckle out of so many parts. Wow, so many wonderful experiences. I'm glad to see them compiled in a single book. I was going to save it for a Christmas present, but I guess I'll have to give it to Mom now. Keep on 'dancing in the rain' and making it so much fun for so many people."
