Dance Editorial Review
**** The "Complete Idiot's Guide to Ballroom Dancing" has garnered a mixed reception from customers who differ in their experience and expectations as beginners in ballroom dancing. Some readers appreciated the well-structured writing and the inclusion of interesting historical context, which adds depth to the understanding of ballroom dance as a cultural phenomenon. The book offers explanations of dance terminology, providing a foundational knowledge for those interested in studying ballroom dancing more seriously. However, many beginners expressed frustration over the book's approach, noting that it prioritizes verbal explanations over visual learning aids, which are crucial for many when mastering dance steps. Reviewers mentioned the absence of simple footwork diagrams, which could have enhanced comprehension of the basic steps. Moreover, while the book covers a variety of popular social dances, some felt that it was overly wordy and not practical for those looking for quick, straightforward instruction. The accompanying DVD also drew criticism for being poorly executed; many found it unhelpful, with short segments that lacked clarity and poorly synced instructions. This detracted from the overall learning experience, leading some to recommend alternative instructional DVDs for visual learners. Ultimately, the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Ballroom Dancing" may serve well as a resource for those willing to invest time in understanding the material thoroughly, especially if they are verbal learners. However, it may not suffice for those seeking a more hands-on approach to quickly learn movements and get dancing right away. **
