American Smooth Figures – Slow Waltz (Silver) is one of the most comprehensive instructional resources available for dancers studying the Silver level American Smooth Waltz syllabus.
Presented by celebrated American Smooth champions Toni Redpath and Yegor Novikov, this nearly four-hour training program systematically examines over 60 syllabus figures, transitions, and continuity-style actions used in modern American Smooth competition and social dancing.
The course develops dancers beyond basic Bronze patterns by introducing more sophisticated movement concepts, including open positions, shadow work, promenade variations, twinkles, pivots, lunges, oversways, free turns, and continuity choreography.
Each figure is demonstrated and explained with attention to technique, positioning, timing, lead and follow, and practical application within Silver-level routines.
