Customer Reviews

It is just what I have been looking for.

This book is just about all you could ask for as a beginning dancer. It has the history of the various dances, dialogue with footsteps for both man and women,pictures of man and woman in progressive stages of each dance and a listing of songs for each type of dance.My book prompted a request for a copy from two friends

Well done, basic figures, American style.

Well done introduction to the most popular dances. It teaches about six figures of each dance, plus basic positions, background information, etc. Mostly American variations, left foot first (male). While "out of print" I have seen it in many stores.
