Product Description
Product Description
This second edition of "Social Dance: Steps to Success" presents step-by-step instruction allowing anyone to become proficient in social dance technique. The addition of three new dances gives readers a repertoire of eight popular styles to choose from: Swing; Cha-Cha; Foxtrot; Polka; Waltz; Rumba (new); Tango (new); Salsa / Mambo (new). Each chapter, or step, provides a smooth transition from the one before. The first few steps establish a solid foundation of skills and concepts. As readers progress, they learn not only the basic dance steps and styling, but also how to adjust to a partner, how to make the transitions between positions and how to create sequences from variations of the basic steps. The new edition includes a compact disc with practice music for each style.

Format:Paperback
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, polka, rumba, tango and mambo and wish to increase their social dance skills.

Presents a good number of dance steps
29 April 2008
Format:Paperback
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).

Format:Paperback
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!
