There is some good material in the beginning of Geoffrey Hearn's book "A Technique of Advanced Ballroom Dancing". In particular he has a great...
BPM is actually beats per minute. (Bars and Measures are actually the same thing.) I agree that the other term is probably MPM or measures...
To be fair, there are a number of very good coaches in the Montreal area. You might check out the "Dansesport Quebec" site for more information....
Yes! Alain and Anik are my coaches. They are very good. I would highly recommend them if you are serious about your dancing.
If you want Merengue and just fun stuff try the album Medley Tropical by La Compagnie Creole. They are very popular in Montreal.
Mon coeur n'est pas un numero - Album: Comme Ca, Atrist: Marie Elaine Thibert It is a great Viennese Waltz.

I use split sole Supadance standard shoes for competition. I have "normal" soled shoes for practice. I love the split sole shoes. They are more...
That makes sense. I understand that the Olympics has now become more of a professional contest, but I can't help think that the entire premise of...
Nice job explaining this Warren. I had most of the pieces, but you put it together for me. To add to the confusion, however, USADance (member of...
I suspect all this posturing would make no difference to you. I seriously doubt that USADance would forbid you from dancing in an NDCA comp....
I am not sure that is fair. USADance relies heavily on volunteers and holding competitions requires a great deal of work and expense. I am...
