As an economist, he has worked in entertainment finance and founded a government transparency organization. Drawing from experience in over 170 countries, he enjoys infusing his musical compositions with international intrigue. As a close-up magician trained at the Magic Castle, he has performed in Hollywood and often weaves sleight of hand into his talks and lectures. For his support of the military, he was personally honored by President George W. Bush with the Presidential Call to Service Award.

    I loved the soulful and holistic focus of this conversation! As someone learning ballroom dance late in life, I am inspired by this to bring my history of yoga, martial arts and passion for watching the artistic expression of many other styles of dance into my own dance training. I should not be afraid of that. Brilliant!

    You said that judges are not effected by the "home town" participant even though spectators are excited about them - makes sense. How about a dancer that may not meet your criteria as the number one dancer but move the spectators in some way? Will you place that couple higher than what you would if the spectators were not so moved?

      I found myself watching this interview with Olga Sokolova twice because her knowledge in this subject is so deep and her insights were truly eye-opening for me. As an amateur ProAm dancer who only discovered ballroom dancing later in life, I appreciate this fresh perspective on movement and dance. Thank you for sharing this valuable interview!

    • @prismethod
      @prismethod 2 місяці тому

      Hello! Thank you for your question. There should be absolutely no difference as dancers in both organizations have absolutely the same skeleton, so from the standpoint of anatomy and biomechanics the differences are not possible.

    Is a preparation step to the left always required? Or is there any time you would come together and simply start? I have seen couples almost run into the start of the quickstep. Is this frowned upon?

    • @prismethod
      @prismethod 3 місяці тому

      Hi Kieran! Thank you for your question. The short answer is "no, it is not a requirement". We are about to release the whole video on preparation step subject shortly. We hope you are going to enjoy it and it will clarify things for you.

    Love your videos, Laroslav has a beautiful smile and lovely teeth and he should use his smile whenever you are speaking in the presentation, a quiet smile expressed when you talk will take your video to a next level. The dancing is great to. At 9.50 he had that beautiful smile again he should use it more often.

    How to determine amount of lowering?

    • @prismethod
      @prismethod 3 місяці тому

      Dear Ian! Thank you for your question! Lowering depends on a number of factors- initial body flight to initiate the step, the amount of progressive movement, timing, tempo, neutral position. Please remember you do not want to lower too much and too early and it needs to be connected with the whole pathway you are taking to move in space.
