Teach Yourself Ballroom Dancing (Teach Yourself General)
This is a really good book for me as I want to dance but have no previous experience. It assumes no knowledge. The instructions are precise and it shows with diagrams what is described in the text. It also comes with a CD so I can try out the moves with the right music.
As recommended I use the book in parallel with attending group dancing lessons. The book is the place to go to work at my own pace and make sense of what the dance teacher has said.
By showing how the dance is made up of small groups of steps I can understand what I am doing, and I can now see the pathway between the simple dances that the book teaches and the routines that are shown on Strictly.

This was a gift for my novice dancing partner so that he can practice between weekly sessions! It helps him to get the steps fixed in his mind!

I looked in a number of high street bookshops for this book but had no success. I then found a number for sale on the Amazon Website and this one came a few days after sending for it. It was not new but in like-new condition and for a fraction of the original price. Needless to say I am very pleased with my purchase.

Craig Revel Horwood starts by giving the reader a basic terminology of ballroom dancing words which are uses throught out the book. The book moves on to important ‘warm up’ exercise and what to wear. The book contains 8 dances to learn including the waltz and jive. Each dances has photographs for each steps and tips. Within each dance there are basic step leading to the turns and variations onces the basics have been mastered. Some of the more difficult steps have floor plans to show the reader where their feet should end up. The book also contains a C.D with timing and two songs to dance to for each dance.
I personly have discover I’m no relation to Ginger Rogers and would of benefitted greatly from having a floor plan for some of the harder dances. The photographs do little to help you see where your feet should go. The C.D is very uses full for timing but doesn’t go on for long enough. if your a natural on the dance floor this book is for you however if you have two left feet I suggest a D.V.D!

Very helpful to clarify how to do some of the steps. Are managing to improve our ballroom dancing. I would recommend this book.
by Edward
What the beginner needs is clear instructions of how to perform the dance steps in sequence. I am no wiser on how to waltz after reading this than I was before I began.
