  • Definitions of Technical Terms and Fundamentals
    DEFINITIONS OF TECHNICAL TERMS AND FUNDAMENTALS INTRODUCTION Even if you are not required, during your Amateur Dancesport Instructor Examination, to verbalize the exact foot position, alignment and footwork on each step, the solo demonstration of figures should be accurate in all aspects both as leader and follower. The figures must be danced as described in the Technique Books and in their entirety. You will find below, in a brief and clear manner, definitions for the technical terms used in your Technique Books (chart headings). Your Mentor will be able to explain and complete, if necessary, these definitions.-Should a question be asked during your examination concerning the following fundamentals remember at this level a simple answer is required. Bear in mind that <showing it> is always stronger than words alone. If you forget, for example the description of CBMP, go on and show a figure, or move, using CBMP. Understanding the fundamentals will strengthen and develop the knowledge and required skills you need as a dance instructor. BALLROOM (STANDARD) I.S.T.D. The Ballroom Technique FEET POSITIONS: - The direction (or position) of one foot in relation to the other at the end of a step (for example; the leg swings forward to end to a side position). CBMP: - (Contrary Body Movement Position) The position attained when either foot is placed on or across the line of the supporting foot, either in front or behind to maintain body line (It is therefore a foot position). CBMP is used on outside partner steps, in line with partner and in promenade position.

These dance genres provide a wide diversity in both teaching and learning in dance education. On one level they form the basis of what may sometimes be referred to as ‘social’ dancing, and there are a range of examinations that provide those learning to dance as a recreational activity the scope to develop quality within performance. At other levels students may pursue their training further through the range of examinations in order to develop the higher artistic and technical skills necessary for competition dancing, stage performance and dance teaching. The examinations offered in the Dancesport genres enable teachers in differing situations to provide a safe and structured programme for pupils of all ages and abilities.
