Teacher S Manual Of Ballroom Dancing

It details the fundamentals of ballroom dancing and body mechanics but also outlines other aspects of the art such as etiquette and organising classes. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the techniques of ballroom dancing and its various styles. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce.
