Here is a summary of what is covered on the video:

  • Proper body posture, body alignment, and body tone
  • Detailed description and demonstration of the dance frame and dance hold
  • The difference between closed dance position and promenade position
  • The importance of using all body joints and proper footwork
  • Comparing ‘Rise and Fall’ in Waltz and the other dances
