Customer comments on this selection.
Not helpful for dance steps The book is too brief on describing dances and shows more pictures of dancers than pictures of footwork. I did not find it very helpful at all, even for the dances I already knew.
A book for the absolute beginner This book is for starters- the beginner who wants to be equipped with the very basic steps of each dance will be delighted to be able to master these steps in the space of a week . Obviously, a superficial treatment of each of the dances ranging from Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot (No Quickstep) , Cha-Cha, Jive & Mambo.
The steps learned are not sufficient to enable one to 'move' on the floor and must be supplemented by other 'serious' texts.
