Walter Laird began dancing professionally in 1946. For five years, from 1960-65, he and his dance partner were never beaten in international competition, winning him worldwide renown. He coached some of the world's leading dance couples and wrote the seminal book The Technique of Latin American Dancing.
Like its forebears featuring heavy vinyl (or maybe it was shellac--they weighed a ton) records, this forthrightly named dance pack will require an inspection something like a customs luggage search every time it's returned to the library. But libraries where dance instruction sets remain popular will do well to add this one that, modernly enough, substitutes a light, shiny CD for the old platters. It also includes dancing shoe templates to photocopy and put on the floor for solo rehearsal and his-and-her cards (loose, so you'll have to put them in a paste-in pocket or something) with the basic footwork for the six dances that are featured in four-color photos in the book component of the pack. The six include three Modern (that's a formal name, hence the capital M) dances--waltz, quickstep, and tango--and three Latin dances--cha-cha, samba, and rumba. Laird's commentary is enlightening, his instructions are clear, and Dorling Kindersley has packaged the whole product quite handsomely. Ray Olson
