Finding himself the man of the family, London dancing master Alec Valcourt moves his mother and sister to remote Devonshire, hoping to start over. But he is stunned to learn the village matriarch has prohibited all dancing, for reasons buried deep in her past. Alec finds an unlikely ally in the matriarch's daughter. Though he's initially wary of Julia Midwinter's reckless flirtation, he comes to realize her bold exterior disguises a vulnerable soul - and hidden sorrows of her own. Julia is quickly attracted to the handsome dancing master - a man her mother would never approve of - but she cannot imagine why Mr. Valcourt would leave London, or why he evades questions about his past. With Alec's help, can Julia uncover old secrets and restore life to her somber village...and to her mother's tattered heart? Filled with mystery and romance, The Dancing Master brings to life the intriguing profession of those who taught essential social graces for ladies and gentlemen hoping to make a "good match" in Regency England.

I found this book difficult to follow as a listener. There were a lot of characters and many were called by more than one name—this was confusing. It was also difficult for me to get into the story as there seemed to be too many viewpoints and it was hard to jump from one to another. The narration was good—just not a great book from this usually wonderful author.

Book was written well, though a little slow for my liking. I tend to go for books that are a little more fast paced or have a little more excitement, but would definitely read another by this author.

Honestly, I love Julie Klassen's books, however, this book got off to such a slow beginning that I have never finished it. Sorry. I shouldn't write a review on something I haven't completed, but I didn't think the beginnings of this plot held up to what I expect from the author. I would recommend every Klassen book I've read or listened to before this one -- but would suggest a different title if you want a more gripping storyline.

good story that is clean. romantic but not descriptive. The story builds nicely and leaves you with several surprises that tie things together nicely.

This story took a little while for me to become engaged but I love the characters and the character development was really good the twinge of suspense and a dollop of faith combined to make a very enjoyable read
