Posen / Line Figures (2nd Edition) by Tanja Larissa and Thomas Fürmeyer is a specialized technical guide to poses and line figures used in Standard Ballroom dancing.
The book organizes the most common line figures into clearly structured groups and presents each figure with visual illustrations and technical descriptions in both German and English. The explanations provide practical information for the Man and Lady, including foot positions, body actions, sway, head positions and related technical details.
The guide covers established figures such as Eros Line, Right Lunge, Right Hinge, Same Foot Lunge, X-Line, Oversway, Throwaway Oversway, Contra Check, Whiplash and T-Line, together with numerous variations and related line figures.
Designed as a compact reference rather than a basic syllabus manual, the book is particularly useful for competitive dancers, dance teachers, trainers and adjudicators who want to study the construction and presentation of advanced Standard Ballroom lines.
