Hi,
I'm searching for a nice good-looking paso doble program, that fit's on the music of espana cani or another piece of music with the same musical highligths. Notation in dance chart form would be very good, like the variations in here.
Greetings form germany

Dear Curl,
your message isn't very hintful to me. Reading and understandig steps in chartform, forming figures, shapes and at least a dance in front of ones eyes is not a mentional act of a beginner, agree?
Since the last two years I have groups of my own and the elder ones asking for PD.
Now, I'm looking for programs that could fit to their standard. Only reading my technique-books do not help.
So in hope findig board-users here willing to help me.
PS. My membership began in 1987.
So long, yours
Julia

Hi, Julian:

Corky and Shirley Ballas have Paso Doble learning tapes from beginner, intermidiate to advance. In the end of each tapes there is a section of amalgamation of all introduced materials. You can check them out at www.dancevision.com and buy on line. I trust their routines of amalgamation would be useful to you.

The Australian movie " Stricly ballroom " has good Paso Doble routine. Although the movie is out of print, it is offered on Ebay.com constantly. You might be able to bid and win a copy for $10.00 to $15.00. Just go to Ebay.com and type in search for " ballroom ".

Regards,

since you are located in germany , I recommend to get a membership in a dancesport club. Since you are beginner (think so because of the question) i dont belive that you are able to learn a routine for PD including phrasing by yourself.

Get professional help membership costs only between 100$ to 200$ for a year and include weekly lessons.

Else I recommend the red and blue book "technique of latin" from the idsf.

schoenen tag noch.

Sorry .. think you look for a show or comp routine.

If you need a simple routine for teaching in groups classes I can offer you a beginner routine (former C-Class)for the first/third part of PD. Its fits on normal PD,its in sync with the music, but isnt very difficult (no syncopated variations) , contains only material of the idsf technique book and was made to be accurat for the former obsolete schrittbegrenzung.

I never have finished the middle part, but with some simple modification you can use this routine repeated 3 times for the whole PD.

If there is a need simply send me an email and I write it down for you.(exist only on paper)
