THE BALLROOM DANCE PACK is a model of simplicity. Walter Laird presents basic instruction in the Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Cha-Cha, Samba and Rumba. He starts each lesson with a demonstration of a solo exercise and pictures of the appropriate close hold. The emphasis throughout the book is on the basics.
Laird teaches the British style with the man leading with his right foot. Americans consequently will have to reverse the process. If you are seeking the basic fundamentals, this manual is a good place to find them.
