From Library Journal Wright provides a thorough， step-by-step approach in instructing prospective Freds and Gingers in body alignment and carriage， music recognition， brief dance histories， and basic and variant footwork for five social dances: swing， cha-cha， foxtrot， polka， and waltz. "Success goals" and drills at the end of each lesson mark progress. The book even includes a soundsheet (not heard) of sample music， so that beginning dancers won't try to cha-cha to a polka beat. However， until the typical foot-movement diagrams are augmented by video closeups， they may remain puzzling and awkward to many Arthur Miller wannabes. Nonetheless， this self-instructional book can prevent diligent readers from having two left feet. Appropriate for school or public libraries with a demand for recreational dance methods.- Cathy Sabol， Northern Vir ginia Community Coll.， ManassaCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc.
