See all formats and editions
This early work on dancing is a fascinating read for any dance enthusiast. Extensively illustrated with 72 diagrams and photographs to complement comprehensive step-by-step guides to a variety of dance steps. Contents Include: The Quickstep, The Waltz, The Foxtrot, The Tango, Popular Dances, Old Time Dances, Ballroom Novelty Dances and Games, and The Practical Side of Teaching. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Source
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 1999
This book is considered "the book" of ballroom dancing. It contains wonderful information on body and foot positioning. The book covers Bronze to Gold level figures in all the standard smooth rhythms. Alex Moore may not have been able to dance international, but he did know his figures.

Am erstaunlichsten ist, dass die vor Jahrzehnten formulierten Prinzipien auch bei dem heute sehr viel dynamischeren Tanzen weiterhin Gültigkeit haben.
