5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant book, 21 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ballroom Dancing (Ballet, Dance, Opera and Music) (Hardcover)
This excellent book, which was the lifetime work by the late Alex Moore, has been the bible for all students of ballroom dancing for ove fifty years. What is astounding is that it is still being used as the main technique book for this type of dancing all over the world.

Mr Moore commences his book with information on how to study the charts and gives brief examples of the rules of ballroom dancing. He then goes on to chart all the dance figures used in ballroom dancing(Quickstep, Waltz, Foxtrot and Tango) from the humble(but very relevant) beginner to the current world champions. Without this book dancing would be virtually non-existant

This book is vital for students of dancing as well as teachers who need to use it for further study and also for constant reference. It is definately a book that is ideal for "Learning for Life".

3.0 out of 5 stars Dance, 20 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Ballroom Dancing (Performing Arts Series) (Hardcover)
This book seems to be aimed mainly at the kind of dancer who will be going in for competitions. A lot of the steps are fairly clearly illustrated with 'footprint' diagrams (but would have been even better in colour) and are well described. However, the book goes into great depth with many variations on each dance and is a bit overpowering for the complete beginner.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Reference Book!, 12 Feb 2007
By Babycham (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ballroom Dancing (Performing Arts Series) (Hardcover)
Alex Moore's book makes an excellent accompaniment to Ballroom dancing lessons; it explains everything from the correct hold to the figures in great detail, and extremely well. It is definately too heavy for the beginner / casual dancer but for students especially it is a must-have reference book.
