From Beginners to Champions – Slow Foxtrot | William Pino & Alessandra Bucciarelli

Learn how championship Slow Foxtrot is built from simple syllabus material in this instructional program presented by William Pino & Alessandra Bucciarelli, former Amateur World Champions and internationally acclaimed Standard dancers.
