The Latin Principles is an instructional MP4 video presented by Oliver Wessel-Therhorn, former Amateur World & British Champion and German National Coach. Rather than teaching choreography, the program focuses on the technical principles that support efficient movement across the International Latin dances.
Through detailed explanations and demonstrations, Oliver explains the relationship between posture, footwork, leg action, Cuban motion, hip movement, Paso Doble technique, and partner communication. Demonstrations by Evgenij Voznyuk & Oksana Nikiforova illustrate how these concepts are applied in practice.
The program concludes with a Latin show performance and behind-the-scenes footage, providing additional insight into movement quality and presentation.
