Advanced choreography plays an important role in open-level Standard Ballroom competition, where dancers combine individual figures into flowing and expressive routines. In Ballroom Competition Figures Vol. 2, Marcus & Karen Hilton MBE present a selection of advanced competition figures together with practical amalgamations that demonstrate how the figures can be linked within choreography.
Rather than presenting individual figures in isolation, the program organises the material into 18 complete competition groups, showing suitable preceding and following figures for each sequence. This approach helps dancers understand how advanced figures can be incorporated into routines while maintaining continuity throughout the dance.
The material covers four International Standard dances—Slow Waltz, Tango, Slow Foxtrot, and Quickstep—and introduces a variety of well-known competition figures, including Running Weave, Quick Open Telemark, Rudolph Fallaway, Chasse Roll, Whiplash, Woodpecker, Rocket, and Travelling Contra Check.
The program also includes a bonus exhibition performance by Marcus & Karen Hilton, allowing viewers to see advanced choreography demonstrated in a complete competitive presentation.
Whether you are developing competition choreography, expanding your repertoire, or looking for new ideas for advanced Standard routines, this video provides a valuable reference from one of ballroom dancing’s most respected partnerships.
