This professionally produced DVD program contains 13 DVDs teaching the following dances: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Rumba, Cha Cha and Swing as well as a DVD devoted to the basics of partner dancing and fundamentals of ballroom dancing. Each dance is thoughtfully broken down with step-by-step instruction for both the leader and the follower. As you learn the individual parts, the screen then splits into two frames, one showing the body and one showing the feet. This allows the student to focus on either the feet or the body, or both.
The program is produced by Legacy Learning Systems, which produces high quality comprehensive instructional programs on many subjects including, guitar, piano, painting, photography, etc. This program includes a 75 page detailed manual, and practice music CD’s. Ultimately, the heart of the program is the teaching DVDs.
This program is highly recommended for beginning students and would also be very useful to intermediate students because of the detailed explanations and instructions of basic patterns and technique. A good understanding of basic principles is essential for dancers of all levels.
The instructors Jaimee Simon and Mark Short are both accomplished ballroom dancers and are excellent in their explanations and demonstrations of the various dance figures. Anyone who decides to invest in this well designed program, which retails for $149, will not be disappointed.
