At my university (Oxford/UK), the social and competetive sides are both technically part of the same club, but organisationally fairly separate with...
I had a teacher who herself still took lessons with a top Pro (even though she had stopped competing years ago). She'd sometimes say "I'm not sure,...
Ouch, that does sound a lot!!! If you have to travel to see a comp in the US anyway and then pay extortionate prices, you might be almost better...
I don't think that the titles an instructor has won are the most important qualification. There are plenty of great dancers out there who are...
I think if you can afford them, private lessons are always useful. Though here in the UK, people would usually consider a private lesson to include a...
The response you got sounds excellent! We've usually found here (Oxford, UK) that a lot of people who try it will stay, even if they only came "for a...
I've just written a two-page rant until I realised that I'm just repeating what you're saying, so let me just say that I agree wholeheartedly....
While all technique books seem to say that there is 3/8 of turn in a natural turn, I don't think this is true in the real world. In practice...
I think all the issues of gender roles and it being hard to compare are true at higher levels, when the main focus is on the image created by a...
They kept some (5 out of the original 8) and had several new ones (a total of 10 couples in the 2nd series). At a guess, it was a question...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. If anything I find the opposite. If a follow is dancing with bad technique, it is much more difficult...
I think it depends primarily on that person's attitude to ballroom. If they say "I'm a dancer, I know what I'm doing, don't tell me how to do it...
How do they do the voting by the public if it's not live? In the UK they had the show on first and then an hour later or so they had another...
I don't think there are any general rules and everything depends on the two people. The one thing that may be different from a Pro/Am partnership is...
I often get the same reaction - and the show that they "used to watch" was always PBS' "Championship Ballroom Dancing". I agree that show was a...
British Dance Council. I wasn't able to find their rules on line, though.[/quote] The BDC are notoriously bad when it comes to having...
Why would you have to invoke the name of the show?? There is no way anyone can prohibit you from promoting ballroom or latin american dancing. If...
