Believe In Basics is built around a simple idea: strong ballroom dancing begins with strong fundamentals. In this five-video collection, Victor Fung & Anna Mikhed present the essential figures and technical principles of International Standard Ballroom through structured demonstrations and practical instruction.
Each volume begins with an introduction to posture, position, and frame before progressing through a selection of syllabus figures for the featured dance. Routine demonstrations help illustrate how the figures work together, allowing dancers to see both the individual technique and the complete movement in context.
The collection covers all five International Standard dances—Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, and Viennese Waltz—making it a valuable reference for students studying multiple dances or teachers looking for a consistent approach across the Standard syllabus.
Rather than introducing complex choreography, the series focuses on developing confidence through correct fundamentals. By combining technical explanation with practical demonstrations, Believe In Basics provides a structured foundation for dancers preparing for classes, examinations, competitions, or social dancing.
