Switch On Your Connection is an instructional video presented by Geoffrey Hearn, featuring performances and teaching insights from Michael Malitowski & Joanna Leunis, multiple World Professional Latin Champions. Rather than focusing on choreography, this program examines one of the most important elements of International Latin dancing—partner connection.
Throughout the program, Geoffrey Hearn explains how authentic connection enables dancers to achieve greater togetherness in rhythm, balance, movement, and characterization. At the beginning of each dance, Michael and Joanna share practical teaching tips that demonstrate how connection influences communication between partners and the overall quality of performance.
Instead of treating connection as a single technique, the program explores how it supports movement across all five International Latin dances, helping dancers create a more unified and expressive partnership.
