Home Course in New Ballroom DancesPaperback, 4 August 2010

This vintage book is a concise yet comprehensive guide to ballroom dancing. The basic steps and "smart variations" of the most popular dances are outlined in this volume, and it also includes chapters on walking correctly, taking the right position with your partner, improving you sense of rhythm by listening to music, and more. "New Ballroom Dances" will be of considerable utility to beginners and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Walking Versus Dancing", "The Forward Walk", "The Backward Walk", "The Man's Part", "Position with a Partner", "Dance Rhythms", "Fox-Trot Time", "Basic Fox-Trot", "Basic Two-Step", "Waltz Time", "Basic Waltz", "Basic Tango", "Tango Time", "Tumba Time", "Variations in Fox-Trot", "The Pivot", "Forward Pivot", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dance.
