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.
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.
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.
I always wanted to go out dancing but my boyfriend said "I dont know how"... so I got him this book! Not only does he take me dancing now, but he is getting good at it! Practicing at home was easy, and the first time at the ballroom was a major event... but now we both look forward to it. Great book!
Before I read this book, I was just a layman and not interested in it. And watching other people dancing round and round just made me feel dizzy, and I couldn't catch any move they did. But when I saw the footsteps printed on the pages, I suddenly found it not so difficult as I expected. It's much more enjoyable! Somebody says that simplicity stands arm in arm with wisdom, which I think appropriate to this book. It has given us a good dance lesson in the simplest way. I am eager to see the second book soon ...
This is a great book. Simple and strait forward, it takes you through what you need to know to get started. The last time I took a dance class was in College; this book helped me remember dances we learned in class, and taught me new one I had never done before. Put some fun back in your evenings: Buy the book, learn to dance, and go cut a rug!
I took lessons for six months and then got busy and skipped a few months. When I went back to the ballroom I could not remember my steps! This book has my steps where I can review them easily, and now I am ready to learn more.
