SUMMARY
This manual utilizes line drawings, foot patterns, and photographs to describe numerous dances. Part one includes the waltz, polka mazurka, cotillion figures, quadrilles and two step. The costumes on the figures of the line drawings indicate the directions date from the 1890s. Originally published in 1905, part two of this second edition includes dances popular during the ragtime era (c.1910 to World War I). Instructions include Tango Brasiliano, Tango Argentine, Maxixe Brasiliana, one step, and animal dances such as the Grizzly Bear and Turkey Trot.
