Latin Competitive Actions
Latin Competitive Actions is a specialized instructional program presented by respected dance educator Geoffrey Hearn, featuring demonstrations by David Sycamore & Denise Weavers. Designed for dancers seeking a stronger competitive foundation, this video focuses on the essential actions, techniques, and movement principles required for successful International Latin dancing.
The course examines the mechanics behind competitive Latin movement, helping dancers understand how fundamental actions are applied within syllabus figures and routines. Through demonstrations and structured teaching segments, students gain insight into body action, rhythm, timing, coordination, and performance quality that can be transferred directly to both social and competitive dancing.
Beginning with demonstrations of the five International Latin dances, the program then progresses into detailed analysis of Cha Cha Cha and Samba figures, showing how correct technique creates more effective movement and stronger presentation on the dance floor.
