Gladiators Dance Congress 2019 brings together 11 recorded lectures from the dance congress held in Rome, Italy. The collection features ten instructors examining specific aspects of International Standard and Latin technique, including movement coordination, partnering, musical timing, shaping, and bodyweight control.
The Ballroom programme includes Hazel Newberry’s approach to Quickstep fundamentals, Mirko Gozzoli’s examination of the positions that establish Tango character, and two different perspectives on Foxtrot from Richard Gleave and Wiktor Kiszka. Steve Powell addresses partnering skills in Tango.
The Latin lectures explore Paso Doble structure and shaping with Alan Fletcher and Graham Oswick, Rumba and Samba with Slavik Kryklyvyy, and timing variations in Cha-Cha-Cha with Goran Nordin. Simona Fancello’s session on bodyweight and movement efficiency provides a technical topic relevant across dance styles.
Rather than following a single syllabus or choreography, the package presents individual lectures, each with its own technical focus. It is particularly suited to competitive dancers, teachers, and coaches interested in comparing approaches to movement and performance.
The collection is available as 11 Full HD MP4 digital videos.
