Product Description
The World of Phyllis Haylor & Ballroom Dancing collects Phyllis Haylor's writings on the English style of ballroom dancing. Published by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, the collection combines discussion of her favourite steps and figures with photographs of dancers. The saved edition is dated 1984 and contains 248 pages in English.
The book gives readers access to Haylor's perspective through her own writing. Its combination of text and dance photographs makes it useful for exploring both the ideas behind the figures she discusses and the visual presentation of English-style ballroom dancing. The ISTD catalogue identifies Bryan Allen as the editor of the collection, while Haylor remains the writer whose work forms its subject.
Readers interested in ballroom teaching history can approach it as a collected body of writing rather than a single-dance technique manual. The photographs provide context for the discussion, and the emphasis on steps and figures connects that historical perspective with the reader's existing dance knowledge. No particular examination syllabus, complete figure inventory or new teaching method is implied. Supplied as a PDF Ebook, the collection offers a substantial written reference to revisit alongside lessons or other ballroom literature.
