Title: Guide du bon danseur
Description: This manual contains directions for dances that were popular during at the end of the nineteenth century, including the Berline, Badoise polka, and Les Patineurs. Botallo also includes directions for several specialty dances such as "La Marocaine" and "Danse des Tambourins." The author includes many quadrille and cotillon figures, although neither dance was often performed in the ballroom by 1912. Acknowledging that other dances were more popular, the author includes three figures for a Tango-Argentine.
