How to Dance Step-by-step

If the idea of learning to dance sends you reeling, and dancing with a partner makes you weak at the knees, then this book is aimed at you. Whether your aim is to hold your own at a wedding, to launch yourself into the local club scene or to prepare for more formal ballroom dances, you need to start with the basic techniques. The guide contains over 20 different dances and styles from the standard waltz to the mambo; from the romantic cumbia to the rebellious rock 'n' roll. A comprehensive list of dance clubs and classes is included. Each dance shown includes information on its origin as well as its character and feel, and there are suggestions for suitable music to accompany home practice sessions.
