 NTRODUCTION. 
 
 |itt tlje Mrectittg of physical training classes the introduc- 
 tion of fancy steps has been found by the author of this little book 
 to be an invaluable adjunct. 
 
 In addition to being a recreation and diversion from the 
 heavier work, they have proven a great factor in the production 
 of grace and agility, and in the development and control of the body. 
 
 In all of the steps (unless otherwise stated) the hands should be 
 placed on the hips with the fingers forward and thumbs toward 
 the rear. 
 
 Be sure to stretch the ankles and point the toes downward. 
 Nothing can /be more ungraceful than fancy steps performed with 
 the toes awkwardly turned up. Also avoid "toeing in." 
 
 The head should be held high and the shest up. so that the 
 exercises will be of real benefit to the entire body.
