to Music & Sound On-Line The
amount of info on the web is enormous, as anyone who's ever tried to run a
search can attest to. And, to put it all in context, best estimates say
that only a fraction, maybe 20 - 40 % of what's out there is actually making its
way to the search engines.
Well ...
Here at DownStreet, we'd like to try to help. So each issue, we
post a few links in Music & Sound to sites that might interest you.
Sometimes the links will be related to one another ... sometimes
we'll just offer up a somewhat random sampling. In either case, we think
we might be able to help you find the kind of site you've been looking for.
Of course, while we can't vouch for the fact that every link we provide will be
of interest to everyone, we do our best to filter out the noise and the
bustle. ...
We hope you enjoy the following sites. . Swing
into Spring ! When
you dance and you're Barishnikov's idol, you know you've got something goin'
on. ... It's been a while now since dance has
come back 'round to the styles where it's ok to hold your partner ... a
long way from the distances between two people that started with the dance
crazes of the early '60's. ... In that light, this
month's Links to Music & Sound On-Line is offering up a dance floor full of
sites devoted to things Swing. ... And, like with some of our other
Links Pages this month, we're going to forego the usual three links with reviews
in order to bring you more links and less language. Ok?
Ok. Then let's Swing into Spring! . The
World Swing Dance Council
A Registry, Event Listings, Links ...
and more
. The

. Aria's
Dance Page
One of the few 'personal' Swing pages we actually

Dance Competitions, Books on Dancing, ISTD Syllabus, American Smooth and
Rhythm Syllabus, FTC Consumer Guidelines on Dance Studios, Related Dance
Links, General Dance Resources, Organizations and Establishments, and Dance
Supplies and Services. Not only that, but Fred & Ginger as a
wallpaper background.
