Dance may not be something to learn from a book, but this book serves as a great introduction to those of us who are beguiled and yet intimidated by the idea of dancing. Addressed both to the hesitant adult beginner who prances around the house when
nobody’s looking and to the young adult considering a career in dance, Dancing cuts through a lot of the mystique and mistaken glamour with practical, specific advice: choosing a style of dance, finding a good teacher and getting the most out of a class, preventing injury, and even viewing dance.
A real aid for parents who want to get their youngsters started off on the right foot — both daughters and sons (plenty of photos
of men dancing, though most of the pronouns are “she”).
