THE CAMP 2017 Ballroom Lecture on Basic Steps by Michele Bonsignori 

FYI - the slow fox music played at the first dance demo by the couple was Michael Jackson's "Beat it" - instrumental on "Ballroom Stars 6" CD.

The three elements, progressive swing, rotation, natural sway.

5:30 It's important to improve the balance, the quality of the movement, the quality is from feet, knee, hip.....

30:00 always be aware of the rotation to left or right in the progressive movement.

37:30, Be sure to understand the need of coordination of standing leg and moving leg in turning L and R.

29:00, It's not possible to change the natural logic of leg/body coordination, it's ok to change the choreography.

25:00, Basic steps consumed more energy and attention, skills than the dynamic choreography.
