Complete Idiot's Guide to Ballroom Dancing Review

I'm just starting lessons and thought this book, which I found in the library, would be a great reinforcement. I think I'm a bit premature, but that's not the book's fault. The problem is that there seem to be many variants of the "basic step" and the book does not always do what my instructor did. I expect that as I get more practice this will be a non-problem. The book is very wordy, but That's because the chapters are each very complete -- I think it's not to hard to skip forwardc and then go back for the finer details. However, the library copy came with a CD, with nice music. The edition Amazon sent has a DVD which seems pretty useless. Each topic seems to be about 6 second long and they slide into each other. It's not easy to watch two people dancing for six seconds and pick up the footwork -- especially when the segments are not labelled on the screen as they come up, and have of them are a bit blurry, which may be to indicate speed or to give the scene a dreamy look. A better DVD would have been helpful, but the book stands on its own.Get more detail about Complete Idiot's Guide to Ballroom Dancing.
