This is really helpful material from an excellent teacher. It takes a while to watch, but it’s the kind of teaching that will improve our dancing across the board. And, right now, we all have some extra time, don’t we? Please note this is about international style dancing and the steps are somewhat different from the American style we teach at Top Hat. Much here is useful regardless of style. ... See MoreSee Less
