New ABC’s of Ballroom Slow Waltz – Caterina Arzenton

New ABC’s of Ballroom – Slow Waltz is a comprehensive MP4 instructional video presented by Caterina Arzenton, with demonstrations by internationally recognized Professional Ballroom dancers Domen Krapez and Monica Nigro. Based on the renowned ABC of Ballroom teaching system originally created by Augusto Schiavo and Caterina Arzenton, this updated edition brings one of the most respected ballroom technique courses into a modern digital format.

Designed for dancers of all levels, the course provides a systematic study of the International Standard Slow Waltz syllabus. Every figure follows the same structured teaching method: first demonstrated with music, then explained separately for the leader and follower with detailed footwork, before being danced again with counting to reinforce timing and technique. This consistent approach makes it easy to understand both the mechanics and musicality of each movement.

Covering 30 essential Slow Waltz figures—including Natural Turn, Reverse Turn, Spin Turn, Whisk, Telemarks, Weaves, Wings, Locks, Contra Check, Hover Corte, and Fallaway Reverse & Slip Pivot—this program is an excellent reference for students, teachers, competitors, and anyone wishing to improve their Standard ballroom technique.

Each figure is presented as follows:

• Dance together with the music
• The explanation of the Men’s steps showing the footwork
• The explanation of the Lady’s steps showing the footwork
• Dance together with the music plus counting
