Ballroom Building Blocks, Disk 1 of 3:
Not entirely world changing, but solid understandable instruction on the form and movements of “better” ballroom dancing...
This is the “skilled” information any very good dance teacher will charge you for by the hour, so it’s a very nice thing to have a DVD where you pay for it only once. Meanwhile, don’t think your teacher minds you getting the DVD; Students who do their homework on “the basics,” like: “the four blocks,” “how to stand,” “how to stand with a partner,” “lead and follow,” “timing and musicality,” etc. are much appreciated.
These “basics” are all good things to know - and a bargain when put expertly into DVD form. Actually kind of perfect for a rental too - you can watch these three or four times and return them – and rent them again if you feel like reviewing them for “nuggets” later on. I’m expecting disks 2 and 3 to be as useful, and look forward to seeing the entire series.
