The Winning Partnership is the revised second edition of the book previously titled The Winning Couple. Adriana Sigona, Stefan Green and mental trainer Dr Stefano Ricci examine communication and disagreements in DanceSport partnerships. Their subject is the interaction between dancers: how arguments develop and how different ways of communicating affect work together.
The book uses 15 anecdotal accounts of fictional arguments and conflicts. These situations provide a way to look at different shades of communication without presenting the accounts as documented events in named dancers’ lives. The authors analyze the scenarios in relation to practising and competing together.
This approach gives readers concrete situations to reflect on when thinking about their own partnership discussions. A dance partnership involves shared decisions and repeated practice, so communication is part of the working relationship as well as the personal one.
The original description identifies the change of title and the second edition’s revised status. Those details are retained rather than treating this as an unrelated new book. The supplied English-language edition was published by Dancesport Academic Publishing in 2013 and lists 142 pages.
