Nice Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Miyyan Wenacob Bulldozer (google it)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning the rumba and other popular ballroom dances minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend Sam got cool results with it.

No, I'm not a stalker, I have just found an intelligent instructor who is willing to share his knowledge in a clear and concise manner. If learning requires me to look at all his videos repeatedly, implement his suggestions and talk about him all the time, so be it!
HAHA! Welcome to the dance fam Christina! You're on the right path, keep going! Repetition creates mastery and is the key to self expression. Please enjoy all the content and let me know how I can help you better.
Gem of a video i came across seversl years after this got uploaded! Needless to say, very useful.
I have been dancing for years...and it took me years to realise that going back to the basics moves for hours is the quickest way how to improve the complex moves. My coaches in Melbourne, Steven and Julie were trained by Hurley and Janet Gleave. Steven said Janet was a stunning latin only dancer and moved into standard later.
I agree; we have been taught from day 1 to master your basics and we always returned to basics when we fell out of touch or lacked the competency we wanted. Thanks for following and your comment! 💥🙏
Thank you for the tips on ballroom dancing, from the body basics, and PRACTICE !
Hey!
Please, absolutely I’d love to see more great videos like this. Maybe this was the most helpful you-tube ballroom technique video I ever saw :) It’s not easy to find (especially) standard technique here at TH-cam. Of course it would be incredible helpful to add also “advanced” technique like spins and pivots and also more about posture, etc
Thanks so much for this
Greetings from Germany!
Hello David! Many thanks for you support. We will aim to provide more advice for you on what you requested. Please enjoy the channel.
Thanks.
Thank you so much❤
Thank you so much! I recently started going to a beginners class in ballroom dancing at the age of 30 and I'm loving it. The only thing I've had difficulty with is knowing how to practice these things at home, but after watching this video I finally have something to use! You just earned yourselves a new subscriber!
One of the best teachings!
Thank you!!
I have just started my dance journey; this is absolutely brilliant; thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight!
You’re welcome! Make sure you’re part of the mailing list at www.Ballroommastery.tv for more tips to help you
Brilliant! First time I actually understood my position as the female dancer. Takes getting used to, but the visual and understanding where body alignment is generated (hip position) helps A LOT! Was always struggling with trying to get my shoulders and arms correct...but hips were NOT!!!!
An excellent class. Thank you. Many dancers with years of experience sometimes need to go back to the basics now and then.
Thank you and welcome. Mastery is not basic and basics are not easy.
Love your videos!
I love your enthusiasm thank you for being here
Totally awesome lesson. I will work up the nerve to record as I practice your teachings for a month and see if I can get this old body of mine to improve all the elements that you spoke about. Thank you for your wonderful insight. Cheers
You’ve got this!
Fantastic!!! Loved this class very much. Thank you😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much :) I will buy much coffee for this to produce more!
Hi Vaughn,
I have watched a few of your videos and I absolutely love the clarity in which you communicate. I started using your practice methodology and I’m committed to a minimum of 30 days to help me and my amateur partner get better. We have been only dancing together for six months and are competing in nine dances (we dance American style)
Thanks for your videos and love of dance 😊

You’re welcome! Thank you for being here and I think you will like the 7 step practice framework also on the channel. The technique training here will also serve your American style. I have lots of online students in my membership area that so smooth and benefit greatly.
Please enjoy the free training
How did you go?
Thank you for your fantastic insight. Inspiring.
Thank you very much
You’re welcome
I have been practicing for a number of years in Japan - learning many steps is the norm here - thank you for bringing me back to the essential basics. Best wishes for you in Australia. Jack.
Great program
Enjoying being a new subscriber

Thank you! You’re quest has begun.
Fantastic video! Great teaching style and thanks for the tips
Thank you - really great advice to work on the basics more instead of trying to learn more steps
Yes it’s amazing how we can get so distracted but the fundamentals are what to master
Beautiful venue 👍
Thank you Vaughan
Amazing video
Omg. Mind= Blown thank you for doing this video. It certain is a lot of mental food to digest. 🤩
I hope you’re hungry!!
Just found this fabulous video and really appreciate the detailed explainaton of the body position and posture. I have rowed for decades and it is a very technical sport so I am drawn to this type of teaching. Its excellent. I am now 55 year old female coming to Ballroom dancing for the first time ever but have also been diagnosed with a right vestibular dysfunction. I am working hard on muscle development to mitigate that and augment my proprioception to assist with my balance issues. However, When I try to step straight forward or straight backwards...I lose balance...and thus I have developed a compensation in regular walking - and the dance steps - to have my feet more apart. Stepping directly forward and backward, single leg lunges, etc - all of these are difficult for me without ending up directing my feet outward at an angle to compensate for the feeling of falling over. Sideways movements are no problem. My question to you is - have you ever known anyone with mild-moderate vestibular dysfunction who can overcome that thru repetition and practice such that they can step forward and not to the side (my problem). Many thanks.
Wow. Clear, well performed and explained tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you for stopping by and I am glad you liked it.
Wow wow .thank you..fabulous stuff.
Hi Linda, thank you for tuning in! Let me know what else you may want to know
This was so helpful! I'm really struggling to maintain a good frame in my ballroom. I will be sure to keep practicing this!
So glad it helped you!
so good!!!! thank you so much!
Thank you for being here!
This is amazing, thank you sooo much!!!
Thank you
Uau!! It's amazing simple and complete! I'm just waiting to do the 30 days practice in this way!
Come back here and let me know how you go
Hi there! Me and my partner started doing these basic exercises for 4 days only and our dance, posture, foot control have improved so much! We couldn’t believe! We dance together for 2 years and we were struggling with keeping up our posture and feet control. I mean, we are adults and we don’t dance for very long time, but all these simple and yet not simple (😀) advices from you indeed work out. Thank you very much and for sure we are going to continue watching your series. It’s a great help for people like us. There are simple things which our teachers do not tell us and I often I wonder why 🧐.
This was incredibly helpful, exactly the kind of videos I am looking for. Will there be other masterclass videos like this for latin?

How can I stay connected to my partner at the hip? We kind of start off that way but drift further apart as we dance. I love to see how the dancers move as one but can't quite grasp how to achieve this.
This is a great question. Your ultimate goal is to be able to dance as one. To achieve this both bodies must move at the same time through space with perfect control of body weight developed through correct application of technique principles. If two people bump, fall off, hit knees, clash or anything similar the band-aid solution would be to grip tighter and "try" to stay connected more.
The art is in the ability to move as one. Hard to diagnose without a video but a starting point is adjusting your posture and focusing on the timing of your leg swing [you can inset a piece of paper to hold at your common centre and without forcing it to stay in place you'll see where you're not moving in time very quickly and then your goal is to move at the same time via lowering/rising and swining together.]
The gold pot at the end of the rainbow is for a lady to be "seen and not felt" and for you not to be ravaged by a tight frame. Feel free to join me over at ballroommastery.com for more insider teaching if you need further help.
Thank you, that is very helpful.
I always though that you and your partner should have a “shared center” where you are connected sort of at each other’s ribs rather than the hip.
My challenge is, I'm short and my partners are in many cases taller than me. Should I adjust the position of my right arm so that my right hand is always at her shoulder blade?
If you looked at this from the perspective of a shorter person the objective is to be able to lead your lady effectively. This means you hold the lady, generally, at her shoulder blade along with the connection to a common centre - to be determined that allows the connection of action and movement.
Ultimately she needs to be able to feel and follow the direction of movement to which you lead through your body action.
My coach was a lady and was very much smaller than me but she always said “I will NEVER compromise my dancing to you.”
@@BallroomMasteryTV Thank you so much for your prompt response and much valued advice.
You’re welcome I hope some of this helps you. Thanks!
out of curiosity do you have vid for counting beat/rhythm
I can make one for you - what dance would you like?
@@BallroomMasteryTV in general i find it hard to hear the beat but if i had to pick i would say foxtrot
How many hours this box walts? Can take?
Every day...
Sounds just like my partner.....
👍👍👍👋👍👍
Awesome ! However, it is generally misunderstood that when lady’s pose at beginning told to become inclined to left! Not physically true when in motion.
