Basic Ballroom Dancing for Women by Ernest J. Holbird is a short historical technique book written for female beginners. Its 30 pages outline basic ballroom steps and figure descriptions, with step diagrams intended to support the reader's understanding of the movements. The English-language Read Books edition is supplied as a PDF Ebook.
The book's compact size distinguishes it from a broad modern syllabus manual. Its focus is the beginner's outline of basic steps, presented through written description and diagrams. Readers can examine the terminology and visual conventions of an earlier ballroom text, while dancers already taking lessons can use it as a historical comparison with contemporary teaching.
The reprint catalogue identifies the work under the abbreviated author name E. Holbird and confirms the 30-page length. Its description states that the original text and artwork were retained in the reprint. Those illustrations are part of the book's appeal for readers of dance history as well as its practical step descriptions. The book brings its basic step descriptions and diagrams together in a compact historical ballroom reference.
