Figure Videos
Readers have suggested that I link to the video snippets at ballroomdancers.com or videojug.com so that for each figure we would have the cue, a description, and a performance video. I'll do that as time allows, but in the meantime, you might want to visit these sites and see if the figure you want is there. A search on a rhythm or even a figure at youtube might turn up a clip, too.

Rhythms In Which Each Figure Is Described
(These links take you to the section of the page in which the figure or step is described. There, you might have to page down once to find the item.) |
An Article or Photo Essay, a few Music & Video Clips
(Article links take you to the top of the page — you may have to skim for the topic of interest. Music and video clips open in a separate page.) |
