Ladies Technique, Following & Styling – Heather Smith

Improve your International Standard dancing with Heather Smith in Ladies Technique, Following & Styling, a focused instructional program designed specifically around the technical needs of the lady dancer.

This approximately 74-minute video explores essential principles of posture, movement, balance, following, and styling. Rather than teaching long routines, Heather concentrates on the fundamental mechanics that help dancers move more efficiently and confidently within a Ballroom partnership.

The program begins with Basic Posture and Forward & Backward Walks, then develops important concepts including Ranges of Motion, Three Planes of Movement, and Body Weights. These subjects help dancers better understand how the body organizes and transfers weight during Standard movement.

Heather also examines practical Ballroom applications including Promenade Position, Heel Turns, and Outside of Turn, making the program useful for developing both fundamental technique and more refined movement quality.

Suitable for dancers of different levels, Ladies Technique, Following & Styling is an excellent technical resource for ladies looking to improve balance, movement, following skills, and overall presentation in International Standard dancing.
