Review of Swingin’
Tapestry was commended in Austin360's review of
Swingin' Then and Now, "TAPESTRY PLAYS WITH
GENRES"
"The remount of Tapestry Dance's successful 1997
concert, Swingin' Then and Now, returned Friday
and Saturday to the Paramount Theatres. It
deserves yet another staging. At least."
