    Hi Egils, I am approaching my 76th birthday and I have been very interested in learning International Standard Slow Foxtrot while my memory loss is not too far gone. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your very thorough explanation of the steps and footwork. I have viewed many different videos by many different ballroom dance instructors and your International Standard Slow Foxtrot Basic Lesson is the very best. I know it takes a lot of time and preparation to produce such a great ballroom dance lesson video. I hope to be enjoying your videos for many years to come. Thank you for sharing!!! :-)

    I honestly know nothing about ballroom dancing, but I find it to be really beautiful! I have a favorite song I'd love to know which dance is appropriate for. The cover of "Walking in the Air" by Chloe Agnew is a very dreamy, beautiful song, but I'm confused of whether to do a slow foxtrot, or a waltz to it. The slow foxtrot has the same time as the song, 4/4, but the gliding, flow, and rise and fall of a waltz is also just as beautiful with that song. Would both dances be able to work with the song? I understand a waltz is in 3/4, but is it possible to modify/adapt it if it isn't being done professionally?

    Fantastic professor! I’m not too clear on the “release” and “no release “. Is it outside and inside hold? Thank you so much for what you do professor. Is there a great ballroom culture in Latvia, meaning popular?

    • @EgilsSmagris
      @EgilsSmagris  5 років тому +4

      Thanks for your question. “Release” here means release front Toe from floor; and “no release” means dance with toe in contact with floor. Hope this helps!

      Man leads Lady with body weight (direction and timing) so it’s possible to lead if Lady knows figures.

    Hi Egils, I watch your dance videos frequently.In slow foxtrot, what is meant by "release and no release from foot"?Can you please describe the leg actions to explain.Thank you.Gary Choo

    • @EgilsSmagris
      @EgilsSmagris  7 років тому +1

      Hi Gary, thanks for important question. Release or no release refers to free Foot when we move backwards. Release means that Toe of Free Foot is released from floor (but Heel is in contact with floor. No release means that Toe of Free Foot is not released from floor (but heel is lifted from floor). Hope it helps. Egils

      Egils,
      What is the reason for "no release" on the 2nd step for man, but not for lady?

    • @EgilsSmagris
      @EgilsSmagris  7 років тому +2

      Roger, when Man moves basic backward on second quick he dances "no release" because in previous step he has Foot rise. Lady in same movement has no Foot rise (she rises in legs and body, but not in feet) therefore Free Foot dances "release". Hope it helps. Egils

    Any explanation why some steps need to be “outside partners “ and some steps don’t?

    • @EgilsSmagris
      @EgilsSmagris  2 роки тому +1

      Outside Step is connected with body rotation in relation to feet. For example in Feather step (Man’s steps) we rotate body to right in second step so that position is called left side lead. Therefore next step we dance outside partner and with feet in one line (CBMP).

    Die ganzen Paartänze, gerade auch die auf den Meisterschaften gezeigten, sehen absolut unnatürlich, angespannt, anstrengend, unsexy, überzogen und überkandidelt aus. Das hat mit Tanzen nix mehr zu tun. Das ist Gestelze. Da wird überdehnt, überstreckt, gegrinst, rumgehüpft, stolziert das es schon wieder abstoßend wirkt. Das hat alles mit einer innigen, harmonischen Bewegung zweier Menschen zum Takt der Musik so gut wie nix mehr zu tun. "Zu viel, viel zu viel des Guten."
