Details of Ballroom Technique for Advanced Teachers & Dancers is an in-depth Standard Ballroom instructional program featuring Stephen & Jennifer Hillier. Presented by a former Triple World Professional Ballroom Champion, the program explores advanced technique and figures across Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, and Quickstep.
Detailed explanations are provided for both Man and Lady, covering essential technical principles including leg action, footwork, CBM, CBMP, rotation, turning, swing, ladies’ leg rise, poise, posture, hold, and body position.
In the Waltz, the program examines the use of the legs and feet through four joins, analyzes the Natural Turn, and explains CBM and CBMP through eight different scenarios.
The Foxtrot section explores body rotation in relation to CBM and CBMP, together with basic Foxtrot technique, posture, poise, taking the hold, professional hand grip, and establishing body connection. It also presents a substantial variation incorporating figures such as the Feather Step, Quick Open Reverse, Teleswivel, Forward Run, Right Lunge, Change of Direction, Open Natural Turn, Outside Spin, Oversway, Fallaway Ronde, and Weave.
For Tango, Stephen and Jennifer address body positioning in relation to the foot, changes in hold between the Swing dances and Tango, a basic Tango group, and the production of movement and rotation through pulling versus pushing.
The Quickstep section completes the program with basic choreography, development of foot strength, and floorcraft. With approximately 1 hour 50 minutes of detailed instruction, this program is designed for advanced dancers and teachers seeking a deeper understanding of Ballroom technique.
