25.01.2022 Sign up today! Last two months have been 100% sold out. Spring time dancing is a great way to get fit

25.01.2022 www.ballroommastery.tv/ *MUST WATCH* Do you want stylish, beautiful, expressive arm movements in your Latin American dancing? Practice this arm exercise action ...every day! The advanced dancer has their own unique character and style that expresses the character and story of the dance. It is the arms [and hands] that convey the final message being delivered with and through the developed body, hip, leg and foot movement. The problem dancers face...everyone wants beautiful arms but not everyone learns to separate arm movement and then co-ordinate arms with body movement. Have you ever fallen off balance due to your arms? Tension is also another problem that stop your dancing from developing. By training your arms to be FREE you can then elevate your dancing. Remember this, you must have excellent use of your feet, legs, hips and upper body to further develop STYLING in Latin and make it yours. If your balance is terrible it will be very hard to develop your arms to their fullest!

25.01.2022 An enjoyable evening of Professional Quickstep. A super fun dance when in full flight! www.ballroommastery.com

24.01.2022 www.ballroommastery.tv - Todays poor student didnt know these muscles exist in thy feet! How to train your feet and legs Here this is a Bronze student wor...king on foot articulation and to take her dancing to the next stage of balance and rhythm it begins in the feet. Heres an insight into one of my styles of technical teaching. Generally I like to teach the Pattern of steps, break down the basic structure of the steps and timing, then hit my favourite work - the DETAIL. Once this becomes natural we can look at the other aspects like speed, rhythm development and mechanics of movement. But without EXCELLENT feet you can forget about beautiful dancing. Have a go and leave a comment below! This is one popular exercise amongst my students (although they grunt when the paper comes out they smile when they see the results!)

16.01.2022 Tomorrow its SPRING TIME DANCING! Lets do it! Join below for the last few spots

16.01.2022 **PROGRESSIVE WALKS WITH SPIRAL, SYNCOPATED CUBAN ROCKS, SWITCH TURNS** [Free Snapshot of Week 21] These are a fun way to make the basic Rumba Walk interesting ...to play with. This lesson alone is over 40 minutes [then there's the Tango one this week that goes for 40 minutes too]. https://bit.ly/danceathomewithvaughan - Join me! So naturally, we build up from the beginning of Session 1 but in Rumba alone we have already covered steps in both BASIC and ADVANCED combinations like Closed/Open Hip Twists, Alemana, Hockey Stick, Fencing, Cuban Rocks and all sorts of interesting tips, technique, ideas on HOW and WHY you need to know these steps - we are building over many, many weeks - probably years into HIGHLY advanced steps and technique. For those in Ballroom Mastery Academy, you are so equipped to take the 200+ lessons there into these practical steps in Dance at Home. For those who are not part of either - this is what is missing in the dance world. This is not a class...ITS A SYSTEM and one you can learn to master at any level. I would LOVE to help you MASTER your basic technique in both Ballroom and Latin PLUS give you awesome unique warm-ups to get fit and dance ready. You will also learn HOW dance step's connect, what technique allows you the freedom to express in your own dancing plus I will take you by the hand and lead you from the bottom right up! Join me you awesome person you, let's DANCE! https://bit.ly/danceathomewithvaughan

13.01.2022 www.ballroommastery.tv IMPORTANT: **POSTURE TIP & 7-DAY CHALLENGE** Did you know there are 168 hours in a week and no matter how much you train your posture it ...is AS important outside a studio than simply in it! So when you need to dance - it BETTER BE READY, CONDITIONED & AUTOMATIC! Let me share my thoughts on precisely where you need to focus your attention to create outstanding balance points, better quality movement and enhanced look so you can enjoy dancing more, be insync with the music and avoid looking terrible when you dance. A few things to remember...Posture is TRAINED and never KEPT you must ALWAYS work at it due to gravity. Gravity is your FRENEMY...It is a friend or an enemy depending on your posture and how your body uses this force to dance. Think of your body as an interconnected system of muscles or highways and if you take the wrong road you end up in a dead end. The wrong muscle chains activated result in poor quality movement and feeling. It all begins with the Pelvis...watch and let me know how you go!
