This comprehensive volume presents Ned Wayburn's original methods for mastering stage dancing, breaking down the art into five basic types: musical comedy, tap and step dancing, acrobatic dancing, ballroom exhibition, and modern Americanized ballet. The author details the essential preliminary training through his specific limbering and stretching exercises, emphasizing that a strong physical foundation is mandatory for all dancers. Each dancing style is dissected with precise counts, foot positions, and stage directions. Beyond technique, the book explores professional stage makeup, costume design, dancing tempos, and proper diet for weight management. Wayburn also shares insider knowledge on theatrical showmanship, the roles of various backstage personnel, and how to successfully produce and coach amateur theatrical entertainments. The text serves as a complete vocational guide for anyone pursuing a professional career in the theater.
