About this listen
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.

Mixed feelings
I've never given three stars to Julie Klassen, and I’m still unsure how to rate this book.
At first, I didn’t want to listen to it because a dancing master is not my type of hero unless he was disguising himself as one. When I finally gave in to it, I thought I might like it, but soon I started to dislike Julia and found nothing intriguing about Alec. There was no chemistry between them.
I was more interested in the story of Julia’s mom, Amelia, and Desmond. In my opinion, Julia and Alec shouldn’t have been the main characters.
I noticed that a couple of dialogues were almost word for word as The Apothecary’s Daughter.
A different person narrates the epilogue, and it’s quite unusual.
