Competition Video

Posted on March 12, 2015 by Ballroom

I have been using video to study my own performance and in this category there is video from two Maple Leaf Classic competitions for comparison.

Maple Leaf Classic 2012 and Maple Leaf Classic 2014

Why Dance

Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected. ~Source Unknown

Ballroom Dancing

[Ballroom Dancing] just gets more exciting the more you know about it, which is why you have to do well at school so you can spend the rest of your life supporting your habit. Just don't plan to marry anyone who dislikes dancing; it'll probably win in the end!! ~ Kay Teague, Youth College Network Coordinator

A Short List of Dances

Ballroom Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz Latin Rumba, Chacha, Swing, Jive, Samba, Bolero, Paso Doble Club Hustle, Mambo, Merengue, Two-step, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Argentine Tango, Bachata

Best Starting Points

Pick one of waltz, foxtrot, rumba, salsa or swing (East or West Coast) to begin. Cha cha and rumba are two latin dances with which to begin. Add dances to your repertoire gradually until you can dance each of them comfortably at social dances.
