Discover a fresh approach to ballroom and Latin dance with DanceKinesis: The Missing Dimension in Ballroom & Latin Dance by Percell St. Thomass. Rather than focusing solely on dance figures or syllabus patterns, this comprehensive guide introduces the DanceKinesis® training system—a body movement methodology developed through years of research, coaching, and feedback from both social and professional dancers around the world.

The book begins by exploring the fundamental question of why we dance, before guiding readers through the principles of natural body movement, posture, rhythm, and dance mechanics. Topics such as Corrective Posture Arc, The 3 Body Tiers, The 7 Natural Laws, The 4 Schools of Ballroom Dance, The 2 Energies of Ballroom & Latin Dance, and The 5 Positions of Lead provide a structured framework for understanding how efficient movement can improve both dancing and everyday physical awareness.

Unlike traditional dance manuals, DanceKinesis teaches dancers to develop movement from the inside out. It explains how the body’s natural movement patterns and the laws of motion work together to create better balance, connection, timing, styling, and musical interpretation. The concepts can be applied alongside any existing Ballroom or Latin syllabus, making the book equally valuable for students, competitors, teachers, and coaches.

Beyond movement theory, the book includes practical instruction for the principal Ballroom and Latin dances, including Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Viennese Waltz, Paso Doble, Salsa (Mambo), and American Bolero. Additional chapters cover choreography, health and conditioning, stretching, dance psychology, and teaching methodology, making this a comprehensive reference for long-term dance development.
