"The Fascinating Boston" by Alfonso Josephs Sheafe is a guide on social dancing, specifically focusing on the Boston dance, written in the early 20th century. This instructional book aims to teach both prospective dancers and dance instructors the nuances of the Boston, a dance characterized by its elegance and adaptability. It reflects the transition in social dancing preferences during a time when traditional dances were being influenced by newer, more progressive forms. In this book, Sheafe provides comprehensive instructions on the fundamental steps and positions of the Boston, along with variations such as the Long Boston, Short Boston, Open Boston, and the Boston Dip. The author emphasizes the importance of both posture and musicality in executing these dances correctly. Detailed descriptions of the movements and their corresponding musical counts guide readers through the learning process. Additionally, the book explores other contemporary dance forms like the Turkey Trot and Tango, providing a well-rounded perspective on social dancing during that era. Overall, "The Fascinating Boston" serves as both a historical account and a practical manual, celebrating the charm and physical benefits of this captivating dance style.
