DANCING, and Its Relation to Eduction and Social Life, By Allen Dodworth. New York: Harper & Brothers.
Allen Dodworth, the famous dancing teacher of New York, has produced a book called “Dancing, and Its Relations to Education adn Social Life,” which is noteworthy. Not only does it give instructions under a new method, but it exalts dancing to the dignity of a science, and explains it ethical along with its physical effects. It is also a book of personal and of general history, suh as we do not remember to have met with in books relating to a fashionable pastime and exercise. Mr. Dodworth writes well and like a gentleman, and we have found his book one that can produce a novel sensation of a pleasant kind. For young gentlemen and ladies fond of dancing it ought to furnish delight as well as instruction. It can be had at Bergner Brothers’ book store, in the Telegraph building.
