 Rating:  - Buy for the DVD, not the BookThe DVD is a joy. Really first rate instruction. Lovely music. Easy to follow. The book is much less useful. He simplifies too much, not by being simple, but just by missing out too much information. The step-by-step instructions say nothing about direction (turn)or timing, and this is just cutting too many corners. The best parts of the book are those that give general information about the history and development of each dance, and the pictures are useful to ilustrate particular positions (but the text doesn't really to tell you how to get there). I'm a great fan of Anton, and both his partners (Erin Boag and Flavia Cacace) are well worth watching, particularly Flavia. She has Latin motion to die for, and any beginner ...

The instruction is clear, step-by-step, laced with humour and very easy to follow even for a "two-left feet" beginner like me! We managed to learn and make a decent go of the basic Jive just from following and practicing the DVD tuition for an hour. Anton comes ...

Anton's book is truly for the dance aficionado in that it combines interesting background information about each dance covered (foxtrot, rumba, waltz, cha cha cha, tango, paso doble, quickstep, samba, Viennese waltz, jive), together with detailed tuition through each dance step. Each step is illustrated by a photo of the correct position, with close-ups on the footwork. Anton's dance partner for the ballroom dances is his actual dance partner Erin Boag, and for the latin dances he has paired up with Flavia Cacace (who normally dances with Vincent Simone). ...
