Preface
...
"I have written this book in an effort to aid the young, hard working, and
dedicated dance teachers, and to acknowledge that they are not alone when they experience
the many aspects of pressure involved in their choice of livelihood. It is also my hope
that this book will enlighten the many people who send their children to dancing school
and have little or no basis for comparison. A dancing school is an educational
institution, and should be looked upon as such. The ideal school is one in which the
children enjoy themselves, while at the same time they learn to correctly execute the
intricate technique involved in proper dance training. It is a teacher's responsibility to
provide a strong foundation in dance in an atmosphere which encourages healthy attitudes.
Not all dancing schools achieve these objectives, but many do; it is up to the parents to
recognize the difference."
