Tokyo Congress 2011 – Basics and Beyond (Standard) presents three educational lectures covering important technical principles used in International Standard Ballroom dancing. Each session examines a different aspect of technique through practical demonstrations and detailed explanations from experienced coaches and world-class competitors.
The lectures discuss how fundamental actions such as rotation, CBM (Contra Body Movement), heel turns, and Quickstep mechanics influence movement quality, balance, and partner coordination. Demonstrations by leading championship dancers help illustrate how these concepts are applied in competitive dancing.
With approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes of instruction, this program serves as a valuable technical reference for dancers and teachers seeking a deeper understanding of Standard Ballroom technique.
