Why Buy This Book?
"I have been playing for ballroom dancers for 50 years and have studied dance for most of those years. I have read over 100 books on ballroom dancing and I can say none of them get to the bedrock of what a dancer needs as well as this book. Certainly every ballroom dancer and musician needs this one."

"Understanding what we do as social, ballroom, Latin and DANCESPORT competition dancers allows us to grow in knowledge, technique and performance"
"Never has there been a dance book for beginners as extensive as this one. Allen Darnel has put in a tremendous amount of time and expertise into his production. The "Ballroom World" Dance Book is a collectors item. You will use it over and over."
