SOCIAL DANCE is written by a master teacher who has done a lot of research on her subject. The person who will benefit from using this book is not someone who is looking for an easy method to learn a few dance routines. It is rather meant for the serious enthusiast who knows how to study a textbook and appreciates the value of long hours of practice. It will also be useful to those who already know something about swing, cha-cha, fox-trot, waltz and polka and wish to increase their social dance skills.
I liked this book because it presented around 8 or so dance steps for each dance. Other books present only 3-4 very simple steps, not enough to feel confident on a socal dance floor. Its alittle difficult for the absolute beginner since foot diagrams are largely missing for the more complex steps (its hard to follow written descriptions).
Judy Patterson Wright's SOCIAL DANCE STEPS TO SUCCESS, 2ND EDITION comes with a CD, appears in an updated edition, and provides step-by-step instruction for eight popular dance styles from swing and cha-cha to polka and tango. Each new step represents a fine transition from the prior one, and each step receives explanation of importance and technique. The disc features music for each style, for practice. Dance collections will relish this!
This book is NOT for the beginner dancer. That said, this book will help the intermediate dancer into the relm of the very good dancer - not only does it tell you "what"; it explains "why". The writing is good and the format is logical as dance is presented in a series of building blocks.
