"Dancing Without an Instructor" by Professor Wilkinson is an instructional guide to dancing techniques written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a practical manual, detailing various dance forms, etiquette, and positions essential for both beginners and those looking to refine their skills. The text emphasizes not only the steps to perform different dances but also the cultural importance and health benefits of dancing. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the importance of understanding basic dance etiquette and the evolution of dance styles. It suggests that whereas historical dances required knowledge of many forms, modern dancers might focus primarily on a few—namely the Waltz, Two-Step, and Lancers. The introduction highlights how dancing is a joyful, health-promoting activity that enhances physical and mental well-being, while also cautioning against its potential associations with less favorable contexts. Following the introduction, the author begins explaining the fundamental positions required to dance effectively, setting the groundwork for the elaborate instructions that follow throughout the guide.
