Showcase & Exhibitions Patterns Vol.2 – Chris Morris

Showcase & Exhibitions Patterns Vol. 2 is a specialized instructional program presented by Chris Morris, focusing on American Style Smooth showcase and exhibition choreography. Produced in 1993, this volume introduces a collection of ten expressive patterns designed to enhance performance quality through dramatic movement, creative styling, and partner presentation.

The program demonstrates a variety of exhibition figures that emphasize balance, body control, flexibility, and coordinated partnering. Each pattern is suitable for dancers looking to expand beyond traditional social figures by incorporating visually impressive lines, spins, lunges, body leans, and performance elements into their routines.

Whether preparing for showcases, studio exhibitions, demonstrations, or performance choreography, dancers can study these patterns individually or combine them to create more dynamic routines. The instruction is appropriate for dancers of all levels who wish to broaden their repertoire of American Style Smooth exhibition movements.

With approximately 38 minutes of instruction, this video serves as a practical reference for coaches, competitive dancers, performers, and students seeking creative ideas for showcase presentations.
