NOT FOR THE BEGINNER, 24 April 1999
By A Customer
THIS BOOK ADVERTISED 1300 FULL COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS AND DIAGRAMS. FOOT PATTERNS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN TEACHING SOMEONE TO DANCE THIS BOOK HAS ONLY ABOUT ONE DOZEN (12) DIAGRAMS AND IS MISLEADING. IF YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT PHOTOS OF DANCERS IT IS GREAT BUT TO MUCH READING AND WAY TO CONFUSING FOR A DANCER SUCH AS MYSELF WHO HAS HAD ABOUT 40 HOURS OF LESSONS. I FEEL THIS BOOK IS FOR AN ADVANCED DANCER ONLY. TOM BEHNEY

Excellant book if you're serious about learning to dance!, 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer
If you ever want to dance, this is the book to study. Its numerous photographs, its footprint diagrams, and its easy reading text makes learning to dance, actually enjoyable. Put on a CD playing the music that matches what you're reading, and you can actully visualize yourself making all the steps. All I need now is some practice, a good dance floor, and a good partner.

A compendium of all dances at an affordable price., 19 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Go ahead and purchase this book at an affordable price. You will be thrilled to find a profusion of figures peppered with photos of dancing couples in over 10 types of dances ranging from the Standard to the Latin-American.You will find all the dances that you ever wanted to know in here including the Tango Argentina and this latest volume is a culmination of all of Bottomer's earlier works, but includes newer types like the Vienesse Waltz and the Slow Foxtrot as well as the International Tango. These dance techniques not found in his earlier books give you the popular variations to add 'punch' and finesse to your dancing. Only the Vienesse Waltz chapter is found to be wanting as the technique of the Fleckerls and the Natural and Reverse turns were not included here. Still, this volume offers good value for money.
