00:29 >> Dancing has always been man's way of expressing his emotions.
00:33 He danced to bring the rains.
00:36 [ Music ]
00:40 He danced to frighten evil spirits.
00:42 [ Music ]
00:44 To bring in his crops.
00:48 Tribal tales were told with the slightest movement of the hands.
00:52 [ Music ]
00:55 The dance has always had its romantic aspects.
00:58 [ Music ]
01:00 Even today, dancing is still enjoyed by many.
01:03 But there are those who have become so inhibited,
01:06 they no longer have the ability or instinct to dance away their cares.
01:11 >> Come on, George.
01:14 Let's dance.
01:15 >> Mm-mm.
01:16 [ Music ]
01:18 >> Are you forced to offer some feeble excuse for not dancing?
01:22 Are you left holding the bags and stuck
01:25 with the check while others enjoy themselves?
01:29 Do you have two left feet?
01:31 Of course.
01:32 Do you feel like a wallflower alone in a world of laughter and dancing feet?
01:38 Well, you can learn to dance.
01:40 >> All done.
01:42 >> Dancing is as easy as one, two, three, and A, B, C. Example.
01:47 A being the right foot is placed at numeral one.
01:50 B, the left foot at numeral two.
01:52 Now, C equals motion.
01:53 Therefore, A, or the right foot if the student is a lady, or B,
01:57 the left foot if you're a man, glides to numeral three.
02:00 Logically, of course, the right foot follows the left and vice versa
02:03 into the simple patterns that follow.
02:07 Thus, we find in this simple design the basis for the dance.
02:11 It's merely a matter of following the diagrams.

02:43 >> You are now ready for a partner.
02:48 >> Why, Mr. Keefe, come right in.
02:52 Now, don't forget, return it tomorrow.
02:55 >> Plan your approach carefully.
02:57 Be polite, even courteous.
03:00 Be suave.
03:03 Suggest refreshments.
03:05 [ Music ]
03:14 If your partner seems to tire, suggest some fresh air.
03:21 For sitting out a dance on a moonlit terrace can be a most delightful part of your evening.
03:27 Ouch! And remember, always be the gentleman.
03:32 [ Music ]
03:35 But with the ice broken, on with the dance.
03:38 [ Music ]
04:07 What a gal.
04:09 If you have trouble with self-instruction, you can attend an accredited dancing school
04:14 and master a dance for every occasion.
04:17 [ Music ]
04:34 Ouch!
04:36 [ Music ]
04:41 Time passes quickly.
04:43 [ Music ]
04:51 And one day you find yourself a past master of the dance.
04:55 You graduate.
04:58 Relaxed and confident, you are ready for the final test.
05:02 You're going dancing.
05:05 Your personality has changed.

05:16 A suave sophisticate eager to display your Terpsichorean technique.
05:22 And when the music starts...
05:24 [ Music ]
05:29 Ouch!
05:32 [ Music ]
05:57 Ah, yes.
05:59 The intricate grace of a modern ballroom dance is a true reflection of our culture.
06:04 From primitive man to modern man.
06:07 Man, you've come a long way in only 10,000 years.
