Although there are about seventy basic steps and standard variations in the four standard dances, the English Style of Dancing has progressed to such an extent during the past few years that numerous new variations have appeared each season. From the hundreds of new variations which have been introduced from time to time a few in each dance become popular, and some years ago the ISTD selected the best of these and standardised them under the title of Named Variations.In this new edition obsolete figures have been eliminated and the book now contains an example of practically every modern variation. There are numerous simple variations for general work and Medal Tests and the latest trends in competition work have been adequately covered.
