    About this ebook

    Following hot on the heels of the best-selling Don'ts for Husbands, Don'ts for Wives and Don'ts for Golfers
    this facsimile copy of the original edition contains everything you
    ever needed to know, from what to wear at a fancy dress party to how to
    hold your partner during a slow dance.



    Advice we should all follow:



    "Don't be a martyr to your feet"




    "Don't dance with bent knees. Bent knees suggest an ancient cab-horse
    on its last pathetic stagger or a performing chimpanzee gyrating around
    its keeper"



    "Don't disguise yourself as a "Lohengrin" if you happen to be short and
    stout. This sort of thing is excusable only in an operatic tenor"



    "Don't straddle"



    "Don't, Miss Shingled, Bingled or Bobbed, please don't comb your
    hair in public! It is a habit that is fast gaining ground but it is a
    deplorable habit. A few minutes reflection will, I am sure, convert you
    to the masculine point of view - it is a disgusting habit"

      1 The older you get, the less foundation you should wear – unless you’re being photographed. 2 Don’t be obsessed with the way you look. If you’re too pulled back and immaculate, you’ll seem like a Barbie doll that’s just been dressed by its owner. 3

      PREFACE

      THERE is a story about Diogenes that when somebody sang the praises of a certain young man because he danced superbly, the grumpy old philosopher muttered, "The better, the worse!"

      But then, what can you expect from a man who insisted on living in a tub when there was no housing shortage? He was a kill-joy. He was the fellow who, asked why he was carrying a lanthorn, replied that he was looking for an honest man.

      So why worry what Diogenes thought about Dancing? We, thank goodness know better!

      Never mind if you’ve nothing more musical than a mouth-organ by way of an orchestra. If there’s rhythm, you can dance, and if you can dance, you can be happy, and if you can be happy, what else matters?

      You may be dancing on a floor from which the carpet has been hurriedly rolled back for the impromptu hop, or you may be disporting yourself on the latest polished maple, steel-sprung, chain-swung surface at a Palais de Danse, it’s all the same.

      But there are pitfalls here and there upon this primrose path of dancing, so with a few Don’ts please let me try to show you how you can best avoid them.

      And here is my first:

      As long as the breath of life
