Corky Ballas with Michael Wentink and Kristina
New ABC's of LATIN

All basic figures you need to learn are contained in this DVD. For your better understanding both Man and Lady's steps are separately explained in detail, and Corky Ballas, the former British Open Professional Latin-American Champion gives precise explanation as the timing and the lead. The beautiful routines separately made for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels will be found extremely useful to put into practice the basic figures and for further application to your dancing.

Corky Ballas has directed a number of instructional Latin DVDs before, the choice of format, style of presentation and explanations contained in the New ABCs of Latin are the result of his experience gained in the past. Very good!
