synopsis
Featuring seven-time U.S. National Dance Champion and co-host of the PBS Dance Championships Ron Montez, this introduction to slow dancing is a great choice for beginners. Montez is a dancesport master, and his three-step teaching style is easy to follow and well-paced. Montez first demonstrates a step at full speed. After that, he breaks it down in slow motion and demonstrates it with his partner, wife Karla Montez, at the reduced speed several times. He dances the step in regular time, and then, once again, to music. After each step is learned, Montez strings them together to reveal the full dance. Montez' voice is as smooth as his dance style, which makes learning to dance by video a pleasure.
