I don't think so - in fact, I don't think it's possible to learn any discipline from a textbook.

Dancing, especially for beginners, requires practice to get familiar with the concepts, the music, the rhythms, etc. - there's really no substitute for being made to go out there and try to dance.

At more intermediate levels, sure, theory is very useful, to back up experience. But I think you need experience, to have something to relate the theory to, otherwise most of it will go over your head.
