This release came with a printed "dance step" instructional insert titled "Bossa Con Betts - Bossa Nova Dance - By Rocky Mari & John Monte"

  1. AVA was the later name of the company that began as Choreo - it was founded by Fred Astaire. Ava is the name of his daughter. Does the instruction book have a plug for the Fred Astaire Dance Studios? I don't know how many albums were produced but there were LPs with Betty Comden and one or two with Carol Lawrence.
