3.0 out of 5 stars Not a "how-to" guide for twirling, June 1, 2001

By	Lawrence Brown "Larry Brown" (HOUSTON, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been unsuccessfully trying to find a book on how to twirl. When I saw this book I bought it, but the chapter on twirling is not "how-to" twirl, but rather a list of resources on twirling costumes, equipment, competitions and organizers, etc. If that's what you want, than great, but don't expect twirling lessons.
