William Pino & Alesssandra – Blackpool Congress (Package)

Product Description

William Pino’s Blackpool Congress package brings seven live lecture recordings together around Ballroom dancing, choreography and presentation. The listed years run from 1999 to 2008, creating a collection of separate Congress subjects rather than a single continuous syllabus. The original listing places the recordings at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool and identifies the material for intermediate and advanced dancers.

The programme opens with How to put the show into Showdance and follows with What is Not Acceptable in Tango, both credited to Oliver Wessell-Therhorn with Pino and the partners named in the programme. These subjects place performance presentation and choices in Tango alongside the more directly dance-specific Quickstep, Our Tango and Slow Foxtrot entries from 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Our dancing and Why, dated 2007, adds a reflective subject to the collection. The final entry, The Instinctive Dancer in 2008, names Bryan Watson and Carmen alongside Pino and Alessandra. For teachers and experienced dancers, the useful distinction is between those broader Congress themes and the lectures identified with a particular Ballroom dance: viewers can choose a subject to discuss or revisit without treating every recording as a numbered figure lesson. All seven original entries follow below in their supplied sequence.
