Product Description

This book is written for the absolute beginner, not by a dance champion, but by someone who knows what a beginning dancer feels like and wants to know. The basics of ballroom dance are covered in a logical, easy to absorb manner that a beginner can feel comfortable with and see immediate progress. All the most popular ballroom dances are covered with enough steps to enable a complete novice to dance, without overwhelming the new student with technical jargon and ballroom snobbery.

Customer Reviews

It *shows* the steps!
I checked out a lot of books from the library and read the reviews for this book. This is the best book because it shows the actual foot positions. Most other books tell you to put your left foot here and right foot there, but this has the footprints on the pages. This book has helped a beginner like me a lot.

Helpful for the time between lessons
I find it very helpful to have the basic steps outlined in this book. It helps me know what steps I need to practice. For visual learners, it's just what is needed. I looked all over the web for just such footstep outlines for the dances, and this book is very clearly written and explained.

Clear and Concise, Great Value for the money
I was skeptical about a book on dancing... but this one deliveres the goods. Nine dances, Four patterns each. All the dances I want except Samba. I took lessons and looked at lots of video tapes that show three steps of three dances and yes, some of them are good, but nothing like this book. 36 steps for half the cost of single video tape! There is no better value than this book gives you.
