Dynamic Latin is an instructional Latin dance video presented by Geoffrey Hearn and demonstrated by Paul Killick and Hanna Karttunen.
The program focuses on creating more dynamic Latin performances through the use of speed variation, rhythm contrast, choreography development, and performance expression. Rather than teaching isolated figures, the course demonstrates how individual actions can be combined to build more effective and engaging routines.
The training includes twelve choreography groups covering Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, and Paso Doble. Each sequence is demonstrated with music, performed with slow counting, and then broken down into individual figures for detailed study.
