Love these moves and I love watching the two of you dance together! As dance partners you look great together and so smooth! I also love the way you teach on your vids-realy great that you dance the move 1st before teaching it! Not everyone does that and it's so annoying when they don't.. Your a fantastic teacher!! Keep the vids coming and thank you for sharing them.
I see most of your videos are for intermediate advanced steps. Do you have a Beginner Basic foot pattern in Bolero vid you can put up on here? I see 2 different basic pattern foot styling techniques performed in Bolero teaching vids - why is that? I was taught the way you are doing it. Is that a more advanced way of Ballroom styling technique? Could you put a beginner bolero vid up so I can see it please?
well, sorry *georgewu5 * , because you are just totally wrong. what Cubans call "Rumba" doesn't look like this in any way shape or form whatsoever. Bolero is a ballroom variation on ballroom Rumba, which was created by ballroom instructors using Spanish Danzon as a basis. Mambo also developed from Danzon. So using your bizarre sociology, Cubans in fact "stole" Mambo from the Spanish. And your weird idea that Puerto Ricans stole Mambo and renamed it Salsa is ridiculous beyond belief, and has nothing of historical basis whatsoever. New York media invented the word Salsa in the 1970s and started applying it liberally to current latin dance styles, of which Mambo was the foremost at the time. Puerto Rico had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, the entire history of dance in the last 150 years involves "stealing" ideas from one dance to the next and from one couple to the next - how do you think partner dance "should" evolve??? Wake up to the real world, comrade.
@dlints1 I love Michael's dance style, and his very clear instructions . . . and I support him by buying his videos. That's the only way he can continue sharing his skills.
ps to *georgewu5 * - Michael Kiehm in the video is frigging Genius - his assimilation and expertise of dance styles in Ballroom, Latin, and Swing is so vast, it is mind-boggling. And you choose not to recognize this and instead to b**** about something your dreamed up in your own delusional vision of the world?
Why did Arthur Murray steal the Cuban Rumba 2341,2341, Quick, Quick, Slow ; Quick, Quick, Slow ( so called BREAK ON TWO) , and called it Bolero stead. This is unethical as the Puerto Ricans stealing the Cuban Mambo and called it Salsa ! Why couldn't Arthur Murray the Jew invent its dance instead of stealing the Cuban culture ?! I probably cannot call Rumba in my dance book any more because someone already stole it and called it Bolero, a name I never heard of before Rumba ! George Wu, A.I.A.
