Surprisingly, this disc isn’t basic or fundamental enough to merit the name. It might better be called, “a discussion of some things you might want to do in your WCS…”
It’s certainly not a beginner disc. It lacks step-by-step discussion of WCS being a slotted dance, much about weight transfers, connection, handgrips, etc. And, it’s not necessarily “fundamental” as there is lots of: “I do this… Sometimes, you could do that…”
Of course, this is titled, “Upper Level… Basics and Fundamentals” so if you take it that – as described on Danceflix – this is how “accomplished dancers” perform “the basics” – you might have a case. However, a better case might be “This is how Jordan and Tatiana do basic and fundamental moves.” Go with that idea…
As such, this disc and its content make more sense in the multi-disc line up offered by Jordan and Tatiana – doing WCS as Jordan and Tatiana do WCS. Which is great… Still, as a “stand-alone” disc for someone needing “plain” basics and fundamentals first, it’s not very illuminating – and could be confusing, or, worse, off-putting.
“Intermediate Basics… by Jordan and Tatiana…” That would have been better.
