Day "I CanTeachTSbtt to Dance Like This SergefMarinofF "And you can study under my personal direction right in your own home." FEW PEOPLE living outside of New York, Chicago, or the great European capitals have the opportunity to study dancing with any of the really great masters. And the private, personal instructions of even average teachers range upward from $10 an hour. But now, the famous Sergei Marinoff has worked out a system of home instruction. You can learn classic dancing in all its forms — interpretive, Russian, ballet, aesthetic, Greek — at a mere fraction of the cost of lessons in the studio. A Fascinating Way to Learn It is so easy and so delightful. Just put the record on the phonograph, slip into the dainty litde dancing costume (furnished free with the Course) and you are ready to start. Now comes the voice of MarinoS himself instructing you, telling you what to do, while the spirited rhythm of the music inspires grace and confidence in you. And guided by the charts, the photographs of Marinoff and his students and the easy text, you master the technique of the dance. Your progress is rapid and soon you develop confidence so that you are eager to dance before an audience. FREE Dancing Costume, Phonograph Records, Complete Studio Outfit A dainty costume designed so as to permit free use of the limbs, ballet slippers, everything you need to help you with your lessons comes FREE with the course. Simple charts and beautiful photographs illustrate every lesson while phonograph records and simply worded text teach the essential points of technique. Vou can learn to dance, as you have always longed to dance, and your lessons will be pleasant and easy. Charm and Grace The natural beauty of the body is developed, an exquisite grace and flexibility cultivated by correct training in classic dancing. For better health — for greater beauty— for poise— for slenderness — dance ! Dancing is the pleasantest form of exercise. As a means of developing grace in children, dancing is unsurpassed. And with my method, mother and daughter can grow graceful together. And Fortune — and Glory The popularity of classic dancing grows greater every day. It has won its place in American life. For the theatre — vaudeville — the movies — civic and college pageants — for private social affairs — everywhere the dancer is in demand. Starding salaries are paid. And those who can dance for charitable entertainments or for the pleasure of their friends quickly become social favorites. In addition, one is so much more desirable as a partner in ball room dances when she has developed a sense of rhythm, and cultivated suppleness through classic dancing.
