Please note that in the ISTD Syllabus, the Natural Spin Turn includes 1-3 Natural Turn. All steps are syllabus except the following: the amalgamation of 1-5 Hover Corte, 3&1 Outside Spin and 2-3 Back Whisk; and the Quick Open Reverse. You are allowed to follow 1-3 or 1-6 Hover Corte (depending on how long you hold it) with 1-3 Outside Spin, but you cannot compress the timing or add 2-3 Back Whisk. The Quick Open Reverse was taken from the Quickstep syllabus. Hope that helps.
Right turn, Open Impetus, Running weave, Forward lock, Right turn, Spin turn, Right turning lock, Wing, Right Chasse, Outside change, 1-9 Spin turn, Double reverse spin, 1-5 reverse and oversway, recover to whisk, forward lock, 1-3 natural, fallaway whisk, wing, telemark, forward lock, spin turn 1-6, turning lock to left, left chasse. I think it's some kind of slip pivot to finish?
@mlp2148 It's what is called officially "Waltz", but used to be called "Slow Waltz" or "English Waltz". Vienesse is much much faster and you wouldn't be able to perform such moves in vienesse. You'd break your legs ;->
Hi, I came across a new Waltzing Classics CD last week and decided to purchase! I just wanted to share with you as its a great listen with the opportunity to explore further dance steps! You can check it out on the classic fm website...enjoy!
@bla7091 well, this is not really THAT complicated. You heed to have a coach who is more interested in teaching you the fundamental stuff and this routine will be easy. Realistically, it will take you 3-4 years tearn it. All the steps in there are syllabus steps and relatively easy to learn. But to do it fabulously, it will take you 10 years! :-)
@slam5 I'm just 19 at the moment so there's hope left =)
Right now we're at a routine with a spin turn, quick open reverse, a chassé, 3 right turns so it's beginning to take shape. Compared to this video we're still missing a few steps but that's alright!
@bla7091 Heck, you may even be the world standard champ one of these days. Just remember you talked to slam5 on youtube. quick open reverse in waltz?? you mean weave?
@slam5 It might be a typical quickstep term, it was a left turn with 6 steps. We called it the same for Tango, Waltz and Quickstep because it's the same steps... just a different rhythm
Can someone please help me with a question about waltz: when you see waltz like this one for an exemple, and than look at a movie, like Disneys Cinderella, that is also waltz but they are not the same at all, I always get so suprised over how fast they are dancing waltz at tv and in real life, when it is going slowly, slowly in movies... is there different kinds of waltz...? Can someone help me? :)
@missbs1 this is a dancesport waltz. it´s a competitive sport. what you see in tv are just bits that fit well into tv, the only sam thing is the music used
There are parts of this that just kill me! Could that Double Reverse Spin be any more beautiful? Some of the chasses (chasses for crying out loud--a basic, basic action!) are other-worldly. The Hiltons must be taking a vacation from Mount Olympus and mingling with us mere mortals for a few years.
@lauraleesmithagain the reason why can't look at each other is because if they do, their knees will line up and the person moving forward will bang their knees into their partner. don't take my word for it. try this:
watlz is my favorite type os dance, its like you are lost in a dream with your lover and just live in a passionate life forever ok i know im a dreamer, hey there is nothing wrong with being a dreamer right, i so want to learn to dance the waltz with my fiance or bf someday.
you do realise they are world champions? and they are dancing in a small(ish) space, not like the large competition dance floors. Wish I could dance a 10th as well as they can....
For those interested in truly basic ballroom instructional videos on utube, check out the offering from AANW97. IMO, as a ballroom dancer myself, I think Andy does a very good job in breaking down many of the steps you saw on this Hilton video.
Thank you. I am so glad to be able to bring this to our Saturday night social dance tonight !!!! We just did a waltz class last month, and quite a few dancers are really going to enjoy it.
There is a LOT more to the standard waltz than just a box step and turning box step. There is much crossing of feet, spins, etc, in standard waltz which may make a high level standard waltz routine look like a Viennese. :-)
As zzutttskgfgangzzzz95 said it is a natural spin turn a step typically learned at the Bronze level. That is where I learned to do it. The natural spin turn is used to change direction especially in the corners. One of the biggest things people need to look at is how they follow the line of dance. It is something that is not that easy to do.
It depends. Each country do their own thing. In my country, it is Canada Dancesport Federation or Canadian Dance Teacher Association.depending on who is sanctioning the competition. They more or less is the same steps with some exception. I am not up to date on the subject anymore for my country.
Dear Ponqqonp:Could you kindly do us a big favor,please? If your beautiful videos by the World Champions Marcus and Karen Hilton were meant to be instructional,and yet the names of each figure are missing,the result is that even the experienced dancers have to guess what each figure is meant for? Now,that is really not fair for the beginners!You discouraged them before they could develop the interest learning the beautiful dance!Could you take "basic" off your titles?Please?---dancewu(dot)net
About one year ago, there was a young man from England writing to me complaining the title of these beautiful Ballroom videos
"basic" are the wrong words for the titles. Let me put it this way, is there any one ever complained about a SHOWDANCE by the Champions with the misleading title? No! Therefore, either these instructional tapes giving more information such as calling out the names of each figure or simply do not call it "basic"--and expect people learning from them !---dancewu(dot)net
George, I was the young (!!) man from England who was questioning this use of "basic". I've since come to realise that all the steps shown are in the standard waltz syllabus up to and including 'Gold' level and are therefore "basic" in the sense in which dance theoreticians would use that term. It isn't, however, the way in which laymen would use it, which can lead to the impression that the clip is flying under a false flag. None of this detracts from a great demonstration by the Hiltons.
C: Wow! four evenings a week you danced! That is wonderful!Are there so many places to go to in your area now? I used to do what you are doing now, but somehow places closed and opened quite often. I could seldom manage to dance three times a week these days. It is funny if I danced after four or five days of not dancing, I felt like I have forgotten how to dance any more! Do you feel the same way as I do?---dancewu(dot)net
I think the term "basic" as in common routine that is "all" universal in how it is danced whether you are in England of German. For example, a close change is the same thing in US or China. It is consider a beginner step.
Not too difficult. Five amalgamations each starting im a corner. Third one is most complex: we only know the double reverse after fallaway and slip pivot, never done the steps after that, is it called the "hover corte"? There is only a "reverse corte" in the Moore-book.
I can't tell you the name of that figure anymore but i can tell you the step following is a outside spin. It was one of the step that I learned at bronze level(in Canada at that time).
George, thanks for the info. Original from ponqqonp was: hover corte; outside spin; back whisk; chasse. That should be: syncopated natural pivot; back whisk; chasse ?
George: Ah, the whisk belongs to the syncopated natural pivot. Clear now. Have you found streaming video for the next world championships next saturday? wdrdotde not clear. Website is wm-bonndotde.
dancetjoen: I understand Tornsberg is from your area;even Slavik is from Ukraine;even you have been concentrating on mostly International Standard;but I don't think it would hurt to learn from Slavik and Shirley Ballas on the International Latin.They are as great as Marcus and Karen Hilton on the Standard!---dancewu(dot)net
George, I have video-instructions in my playlists, not in favourites. W.r.t. the website: wm-bonn means Weltmeisterschaft in Bonn, that is their site. Streaming Video: I read on various sites that it will be broadcasted by WDR on saturday 23.00 CET
d: Please explain the second part of your message. I did not get the website with "Website is wm-bonndotde"? And what did you mean by "streaming video...."?---dancewu(dot)net
You can buy similar dresses fro Chrisanne Uk or DSI website Or indeed get similar designs from Rainbow Shiu on Ebay in China. She's pretty good and prices are excellent on dancewear. Hope this helps you.
all you people are so negative. Im from holland and i'm dancing for a year now. i'm at gold level. En indeed in the beginning you'll find it very difficult. after a while you'll learn to liste at the music and then everything will fall in its place. mabye not the the frame as these guys but the steps and the counting is most of the time a b+. So just try and practise. Then you can do this to. and these films are very useful for learning some other steps then i learn of my teacher.
K: You are luckier than most Americans here. Because you do not have to worry about learning the Arthur Murray style first;then learning the International Ballroom later! When I first started, I could only take whatever was available, I had a very difficult time to unlearn what I had already had as a habit deep under my skin.- I am only speaking for my own preference. It does not have to reflect everyone's artistic attitude! I just happened to love International Ballroom only!-dancewu(dot)net
personally, i don't think anybody can learn from a book(albeit that it is the bible of standard dancing). it is like learning to fly a plane by reading a book. that's my two cents anyhow.
slam5: Some people could not draw a good picture either! Why? because some people were born NOT VISUAL! That is one of the reasons why they cannot learn from a book. I am an architect.May I ask if you can draw a GOOD PICTURE? There were many dancers who confessed that they could never learn dancing from a book or a video. Can he or she say "I don't think ANYBODY can learn from a book." One who cannot do a certain things his way does not mean the whole world cannot do it that way!-dancewu(dot)net
agree, somebody is not visual. what my teacher was saying is that learning from a video is not that effective. you watch the dancer in the video and you think that is your problem is a which your problem is b. i am not saying you cannot learn steps but rather whether you have the technique to learn it right. I was very fortunate that I had a excellent teacher after 1 yr of night school teacher. Anybody can learn steps but to learn it right takes a teacher!
S:May I ask a stupid question? Did Michaelangelo need a teacher to be a great artist? Did Wright need a teacher to be a great architect? did Eistein need a teacher to be a great sciencist? All these great people,they are not like you, have to rely on someone to tell you whether you are right or wrong.They read a lot of books and gave many thoughts to what they were interested in,they are already in a NO-MAN's land. No teacher can teach them anything,BECAUSE THE TEACHERS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS HE IS!
Your teacher,just like Peter Petersen,teaching for a living, of course having an opinion about videos and books..when I took lessons from Petersen in 1990, Vancouver. I asked whether he could teach only one figure in an hour instead teaching twenty three that I could not member any in the next class, he replied not smiling,that if he taught the students to know how to dance,they would not come back!I learn my dancing from Alex Moore's "Ballroom Dancing"& many videos."self taught!"dancewu(dot)net
My teacher NEVER taught for a living. She did this for a hobby and to pass on her knowledge to the next gen of local dancers. She knew Pete and took lessons with him a long time ago. Pete only taught you one step because you probably because it was a complicated step and in order to do it WELL, you need a full lesson. Do you want to be known as a dancer who dance a million steps or a dancer who dance a few steps well? I rather be later.
S: Let me repeat what I said about Petersen, because you took it exactly the opposite of what I told you. Petersen used to teach 23 or more figures in one hour, I asked him to teach me just one figure in an hour instead. But he said to me,without a smile on his face to suggest that he was joking, "If I teach the students how to dance; they don't come back!" That was what he said more or less! So I never went back to his studio in Vancouver ever since! That was the year of 1991.---dancewu(dot)net
May I ask whether this is a group class or private?? If that is private, that will be inappropriate but if it is group then what he did was what the class want. Most dancer think that they had mastered all the basics already and don't want to learn any more techniques. A lot of people think that technique is boring. If the students think the class is boring then they won't come back. Hence, Pete couldn't make a living. And he was within his rights to teach a complete routine in one class.
slam5: I agree with you. Unfortunately, most dancers I have met in the past twenty thirty years, almost everyone of them,good or bad dancers,thought that they were the best in the world! That ego trip made them continue going and also prevented them from learning more into the subject.Otherwise there would have been thousands of Hilton around?!Knowing this, we found a way to better ourselves every day until the day we die! We just have be HUMBLE ourselsves. That is all!---dancewu(dot)net
My instructor knew Pete pretty well. I think they were friends as well as student/coach. But that was before my time. My instructor succeeded Pete in teaching at the provincal university dance club. Pete taught a complete routine in one class but he also break the routine down so that the students can absorbe the finer details of each steps in each succeeding class. I think that's what he was driving at.
S: I really do not want to go into too many personal matters. The point I disagreed with you started with your blanket statement," I do not think ANY ONE could learn from a book..." you read books to go to college,correct? you generally appeared rather polite.(if you gave away yourself in your grammar not as a native born Canadian;as I am a Chinese-American); Or timid(if your oriental(?)background had to do with falseful humbleness; you always use IMO; PERSONALLY;...to protect yourself) But why?
what personal matters??? i am saying that pete was saying that he will be out of business if he strictly teach a single step/technique in a group class. i stand corrected about that statement "do not thing anyone ...", what i really mean is that you can't really learn it well from a book. as for whether i am native Canadian, why is it important to this conversation? i use imo because i never really competed and my knowledge was from taking technique class when these great dancers was in town
slam5: I have been reading most of your comments for the past months. I thought you are one of the dancers who have good taste and learn hard from the videos. I appreciate your continuous effort to better yourself from the best dancers like Marcus Hilton,Allan Tornsberg,etc. By the way,videos are one of the books in todays technology, there is no need to down play the books and learned fiercely from the videos! Look! what is the difference? video is a series of images in motion. That's all!
slam5:When I learned my viennese Waltz Fleckerls and Sliding door of International Rumba through a process of back and forth hundreds of times in the videos and books and finally finished my sketches. Those people who told me that they could not learn anything from the books or the videos still remained at the pre-bronze age of their dancing. In other words, they had never progressed what they did not know eleven years ago! They still did not know FLECKERLS & SLIDING DOOR!.... dancewu(dot)net
slam5: In the same evening that Marcus and Karen Hilton performing in Hotel Vancouver in 1991, Pete and a Japanese partner also danced a Foxtrot and a waltz. Was it possible that woman your instructor?---dancewu(dot)net
Slam5: All I have to say is that if I do not have the books and the videos, I would not have been so fortunate that I got closer to the world's best Ballroom dancers Hiltons,Burns and Fairweather,Ballas,Slavik,etc. I am very fortunate to have the books and the videos because otherwise I could not afford to have those lessons and I did not want to have the SECOND-HAND information from those second-rated instructors who also learned from the world champions privately themselves!---dancewu(dot)net
Yeah, but you DON'T need the top level dancers to teach you. These top level dancers may NOT be very good teachers. And these "second-rated" teachers really that 2nd rated? Are you trying to be dancing at the final of Blackpool? If you want to be just a good dancer, these 2nd rate teachers will do. I was fortunate enough to have a excellent teacher who never was in the final @ BP. But she is an excellent teacher and she bought up a few good dancers.
I want to learn how to dance that soooo bad!!! For my quinceñera :)

zzutttskgfgangzzzz95 2 years ago
As zzutttskgfgangzzzz95 said it is a natural spin turn a step typically learned at the Bronze level. That is where I learned to do it. The natural spin turn is used to change direction especially in the corners. One of the biggest things people need to look at is how they follow the line of dance. It is something that is not that easy to do.

Many of the dance clips on youtube are titled as "basic" but are far from it! This routine is beautifully danced, but I wouldn't call it "basic".

They are basic because there are no lifts in them

actually they are basic because they are in the syllabus. as compared to "open" where anything goes. at least, that was how it was explained to me.

hibiscus161 2 years ago
It depends. Each country do their own thing. In my country, it is Canada Dancesport Federation or Canadian Dance Teacher Association.depending on who is sanctioning the competition. They more or less is the same steps with some exception. I am not up to date on the subject anymore for my country.

Dear Ponqqonp:Could you kindly do us a big favor,please? If your beautiful videos by the World Champions Marcus and Karen Hilton were meant to be instructional,and yet the names of each figure are missing,the result is that even the experienced dancers have to guess what each figure is meant for? Now,that is really not fair for the beginners!You discouraged them before they could develop the interest learning the beautiful dance!Could you take "basic" off your titles?Please?---dancewu(dot)net
georgewu5 3 years ago
About one year ago, there was a young man from England writing to me complaining the title of these beautiful Ballroom videos
"basic" are the wrong words for the titles. Let me put it this way, is there any one ever complained about a SHOWDANCE by the Champions with the misleading title? No! Therefore, either these instructional tapes giving more information such as calling out the names of each figure or simply do not call it "basic"--and expect people learning from them !---dancewu(dot)net
georgewu5 3 years ago
George, I was the young (!!) man from England who was questioning this use of "basic". I've since come to realise that all the steps shown are in the standard waltz syllabus up to and including 'Gold' level and are therefore "basic" in the sense in which dance theoreticians would use that term. It isn't, however, the way in which laymen would use it, which can lead to the impression that the clip is flying under a false flag. None of this detracts from a great demonstration by the Hiltons.

C: Wow! four evenings a week you danced! That is wonderful!Are there so many places to go to in your area now? I used to do what you are doing now, but somehow places closed and opened quite often. I could seldom manage to dance three times a week these days. It is funny if I danced after four or five days of not dancing, I felt like I have forgotten how to dance any more! Do you feel the same way as I do?---dancewu(dot)net

I think the term "basic" as in common routine that is "all" universal in how it is danced whether you are in England of German. For example, a close change is the same thing in US or China. It is consider a beginner step.

JoanaLopesSilva 3 years ago
Not too difficult. Five amalgamations each starting im a corner. Third one is most complex: we only know the double reverse after fallaway and slip pivot, never done the steps after that, is it called the "hover corte"? There is only a "reverse corte" in the Moore-book.

which time is the step you are referring to? maybe i can tell you.
slam5 3 years ago
slam5, the figure at 2.01: 1 & 2 3. It looks like the lady is steppping forward with RF at count 6, followed by a heel turn.
In a very early posting someone called it the hover-corte.
Two hours from now I will practice the whole routine for the first time :-)
dancetjoen 3 years ago
I can't tell you the name of that figure anymore but i can tell you the step following is a outside spin. It was one of the step that I learned at bronze level(in Canada at that time).
slam5 3 years ago
slam5, more like whisk - chasse - outside spin.
And we have just done the whole routine.

come to think of it, i think i did the outside spin from a reverse corte when i was in bronze. that was so long ago.

I found a list with syllabus steps. Reverse corte is indeed bronze. Hover corte is gold and maybe only ISTD.

all you people are so negative. Im from holland and i'm dancing for a year now. i'm at gold level. En indeed in the beginning you'll find it very difficult. after a while you'll learn to liste at the music and then everything will fall in its place. mabye not the the frame as these guys but the steps and the counting is most of the time a b+. So just try and practise. Then you can do this to. and these films are very useful for learning some other steps then i learn of my teacher.

K: You are luckier than most Americans here. Because you do not have to worry about learning the Arthur Murray style first;then learning the International Ballroom later! When I first started, I could only take whatever was available, I had a very difficult time to unlearn what I had already had as a habit deep under my skin.- I am only speaking for my own preference. It does not have to reflect everyone's artistic attitude! I just happened to love International Ballroom only!-dancewu(dot)net

personally, i don't think anybody can learn from a book(albeit that it is the bible of standard dancing). it is like learning to fly a plane by reading a book. that's my two cents anyhow.

slam5: Some people could not draw a good picture either! Why? because some people were born NOT VISUAL! That is one of the reasons why they cannot learn from a book. I am an architect.May I ask if you can draw a GOOD PICTURE? There were many dancers who confessed that they could never learn dancing from a book or a video. Can he or she say "I don't think ANYBODY can learn from a book." One who cannot do a certain things his way does not mean the whole world cannot do it that way!-dancewu(dot)net
georgewu5 3 years ago
agree, somebody is not visual. what my teacher was saying is that learning from a video is not that effective. you watch the dancer in the video and you think that is your problem is a which your problem is b. i am not saying you cannot learn steps but rather whether you have the technique to learn it right. I was very fortunate that I had a excellent teacher after 1 yr of night school teacher. Anybody can learn steps but to learn it right takes a teacher!

S:May I ask a stupid question? Did Michaelangelo need a teacher to be a great artist? Did Wright need a teacher to be a great architect? did Eistein need a teacher to be a great sciencist? All these great people,they are not like you, have to rely on someone to tell you whether you are right or wrong.They read a lot of books and gave many thoughts to what they were interested in,they are already in a NO-MAN's land. No teacher can teach them anything,BECAUSE THE TEACHERS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS HE IS!
georgewu5 3 years ago
Your teacher,just like Peter Petersen,teaching for a living, of course having an opinion about videos and books..when I took lessons from Petersen in 1990, Vancouver. I asked whether he could teach only one figure in an hour instead teaching twenty three that I could not member any in the next class, he replied not smiling,that if he taught the students to know how to dance,they would not come back!I learn my dancing from Alex Moore's "Ballroom Dancing"& many videos."self taught!"dancewu(dot)net
georgewu5 3 years ago
My teacher NEVER taught for a living. She did this for a hobby and to pass on her knowledge to the next gen of local dancers. She knew Pete and took lessons with him a long time ago. Pete only taught you one step because you probably because it was a complicated step and in order to do it WELL, you need a full lesson. Do you want to be known as a dancer who dance a million steps or a dancer who dance a few steps well? I rather be later.
slam5 3 years ago
S: Let me repeat what I said about Petersen, because you took it exactly the opposite of what I told you. Petersen used to teach 23 or more figures in one hour, I asked him to teach me just one figure in an hour instead. But he said to me,without a smile on his face to suggest that he was joking, "If I teach the students how to dance; they don't come back!" That was what he said more or less! So I never went back to his studio in Vancouver ever since! That was the year of 1991.---dancewu(dot)net
georgewu5 3 years ago
May I ask whether this is a group class or private?? If that is private, that will be inappropriate but if it is group then what he did was what the class want. Most dancer think that they had mastered all the basics already and don't want to learn any more techniques. A lot of people think that technique is boring. If the students think the class is boring then they won't come back. Hence, Pete couldn't make a living. And he was within his rights to teach a complete routine in one class.
slam5 3 years ago
slam5: I agree with you. Unfortunately, most dancers I have met in the past twenty thirty years, almost everyone of them,good or bad dancers,thought that they were the best in the world! That ego trip made them continue going and also prevented them from learning more into the subject.Otherwise there would have been thousands of Hilton around?!Knowing this, we found a way to better ourselves every day until the day we die! We just have be HUMBLE ourselsves. That is all!---dancewu(dot)net
georgewu5 3 years ago
My instructor knew Pete pretty well. I think they were friends as well as student/coach. But that was before my time. My instructor succeeded Pete in teaching at the provincal university dance club. Pete taught a complete routine in one class but he also break the routine down so that the students can absorbe the finer details of each steps in each succeeding class. I think that's what he was driving at.

S: I really do not want to go into too many personal matters. The point I disagreed with you started with your blanket statement," I do not think ANY ONE could learn from a book..." you read books to go to college,correct? you generally appeared rather polite.(if you gave away yourself in your grammar not as a native born Canadian;as I am a Chinese-American); Or timid(if your oriental(?)background had to do with falseful humbleness; you always use IMO; PERSONALLY;...to protect yourself) But why?
georgewu5 3 years ago
what personal matters??? i am saying that pete was saying that he will be out of business if he strictly teach a single step/technique in a group class. i stand corrected about that statement "do not thing anyone ...", what i really mean is that you can't really learn it well from a book. as for whether i am native Canadian, why is it important to this conversation? i use imo because i never really competed and my knowledge was from taking technique class when these great dancers was in town

slam5: I have been reading most of your comments for the past months. I thought you are one of the dancers who have good taste and learn hard from the videos. I appreciate your continuous effort to better yourself from the best dancers like Marcus Hilton,Allan Tornsberg,etc. By the way,videos are one of the books in todays technology, there is no need to down play the books and learned fiercely from the videos! Look! what is the difference? video is a series of images in motion. That's all!

slam5:When I learned my viennese Waltz Fleckerls and Sliding door of International Rumba through a process of back and forth hundreds of times in the videos and books and finally finished my sketches.

Yeah, but you DON'T need the top level dancers to teach you. These top level dancers may NOT be very good teachers. And these "second-rated" teachers really that 2nd rated? Are you trying to be dancing at the final of Blackpool? If you want to be just a good dancer, these 2nd rate teachers will do. I was fortunate enough to have a excellent teacher who never was in the final @ BP. But she is an excellent teacher and she bought up a few good dancers.
