A strong foundation is the key to developing good ballroom technique. In Simply The Best – Introduction to Waltz, Marcus & Karen Hilton present an introductory program designed to help beginners understand the essential principles of International Standard Waltz before progressing to more advanced figures.
The lessons begin with a basic Waltz group, demonstrated both to music and with slow teaching counts from multiple directions, allowing dancers to follow each movement more easily. Practical exercises are also included to reinforce the material.
Alongside the figures, Marcus and Karen explain the technical concepts that support good dancing, including Rise & Fall, Rotation, Swing, Posture, Balance, Standing Position, and Connection. Rather than focusing only on memorising steps, the program introduces the movement principles that form the basis of Standard Ballroom technique.
Whether you are learning Waltz for the first time, preparing for medal examinations, or building a stronger technical foundation, this instructional video provides a clear introduction to one of ballroom dancing’s most important dances.
