Excerpt from Dancing Without an Instructor

Time was when to be a dancer meant a thorough acquaintance with Mazourkas, Galops, Reels, Minuets, Polkas and other dances too numerous to mention; but nowadays one can get along very well with even a slight knowledge of but three: the Waltz, the Two-Step and the Lancers.

It is a pity that such should be the case; but the fact remains the same; and the beginner must not be dismayed by glancing through these pages, for but few of the dances here described ever appear on a ball program.

Special attention must, then, be given to these three dances, and no great difficulty should be found in learning the steps.
