Partnership Dancing Book Version 1
The book Partnership Dancing was first published in October 1, 2008.
Partnership Dancing is the first and only book to define the precise communication that dance partners can use to unambigously communicate what to do.
Beginning in 2004, in attempting to teach partner dancing skills to Israeli dancers, I started to organize the hundreds of things dance teachers were teaching into categories.
In formulating a method for applying all these things, I found that the entire method of communicating with a partner could be explained with the mnemonic ABCD, Attitude, Balance, Connection and Direction.
Amazingly people only need three rules and three signals to do all the choreography in every social dance.
I coined the phrase Partnership Dancing for this method of communicating to differentiate from what is commonly called Lead and Follow.
The book Partnerhship Dancing, published online at www.partnershipdancing.com explains the method of Partnership Dancing.
