I thought this was maybe going to be a thread about Craig Revel Horwood's new book on how to dance. I saw him plugging on breakfast TV - he said that it would be good for people who would feel too nervous to go to a dance class, they could get the basics from the book, then build up confidence to go along to a class etc.

I love books and find I learn a lot from them, on a wide variety of topics - but books give you information, and dancing is about experience as much as, if not more, than information.

I could see a book being useful as a revision aid, to go over things you have already learnt and to explain terminology and discuss some theory but it would need to be in conjunction with classes to be really effective IMO.
