Technical Pro-Tip from Ron Montez

Mastering Elasticity and Deceptive Timing:

In the Silver syllabus, the greatest challenge is managing sudden changes of direction without pushing your partner off-balance. Patterns like the Cross Body, Surprise, Quick Turn require an immense amount of core resistance and a complete understanding of late weight settlements.

Instead of using your arms to manipulate your partner, focus on creating a light but solid connection through your latissimus dorsi muscles. By compressing your standing leg into the floor and delaying your hip action until the split-second the weight transfers, you create a powerful, elastic “snap” effect. Practice drilling the Pullback Combination $\rightarrow$ Cross Over Twist & Fan $\rightarrow$ Syncopated Cross-Over Variation to build this dynamic, keeping your frame completely quiet, poised, and aggressively elegant under high-speed conditions.
