The great classic ballroom dances included in this book - the social foxtrot, waltz, quickstep, modern tango, slow foxtrot and the Viennese waltz - are clearly explained in simple, everyday language, including their histories and the stories behind them; their individual traditions; and, of course, easy-to-follow lessons on how to dance them. The basic routines are built up in step-by-step movements that are beautifully illustrated with over 360 colour photographs and diagrams, which form a wonderfully simple and clear teaching system you can study at home.
