Gain a deeper understanding of International Standard Slow Waltz through this practical coaching program led by renowned ballroom coach Caterina Arzenton. Rather than simply demonstrating figures, this instructional video reveals how an experienced coach and adjudicator evaluates a couple’s dancing, identifies technical weaknesses, and applies targeted corrections to improve overall performance.
Designed for beginning to intermediate dancers, the course follows a real coaching session with featured dancers Shintaro Masuyama & Yoko Araya, allowing viewers to observe the complete learning process. The lesson begins with the couple’s performance before coaching, followed by the judge’s point of view and an analysis of the areas requiring improvement. Caterina then explains the essential technical principles of posture, lead and follow, body contact, rotation, and shape, demonstrating how each adjustment contributes to smoother movement, better partnership, and a stronger ballroom presentation. The program concludes with the couple dancing again after the lesson, clearly illustrating the results of professional coaching.
Born in Italy, Caterina Arzenton achieved international success with Augusto Schiavo, winning the World Professional Championship in 2000 and the UK Championship in 2001. Today, she is recognized worldwide as a respected coach, conducting ballroom training camps and seminars internationally.
Whether you’re building solid Slow Waltz fundamentals, preparing for competition, or looking to develop more effective teaching methods, this video offers valuable insight into the coaching techniques used by one of ballroom’s leading professionals.
