Learning to dance requires an investment of time and money. If you’re like me, both are precious commodities, which is why the Dancing Doc and I are Elite subscribers to Dance Vision’s Instructional Video Libraries. At first we subscribed to single libraries (Basic followed by Technique), but honestly, if you’re willing to cough up the $199 for an annual subscription, it really is the best bang for your buck.

When I think about the time and money the Doc and I invest in our dance education (lessons, coaching, workshops, etc.), $199 for a year – literally thousands and thousands of hours of instruction – is a bargain. The thing is, if the quality of the product wasn’t outstanding, ninety-nine cents would be too much to spend, but these videos really are exceptional. The libraries are well organized, the website is intuitive and the information is presented in entertaining, easy-to-consume portions by world class dancers, coaches and judges. Toggle between libraries, digest the information however you wish, in the manner you find most logical…at your own pace.

• The DVIDA Syllabus Library contains more than 2100 instructional videos covering every DVIDA Syllabus figure at every proficiency level –  Bronze, Silver and Gold – in American Smooth & Rhythm, International Standard & Latin, Social/Club Dances, Argentine Tango and Country Western.
• The Variations Library contains more than 1400 interesting suggestions for combining syllabus figures, open patterns and advanced elements. Variations videos are an excellent resource for showcase or competition routine choreography as well as for social dancers who want to expand their repertoire of patterns.
• The Technique Library contains more than 1000 videos to deepen your dance knowledge by focusing on the elements that make you look and feel better when executing figures and patterns. Concepts covered include footwork, leg action, hip action, frame, partnering and connection, shaping, arm styling and much, much more.
• The Competitors Library contains more than 60 valuable video lectures from the top coaches, judges and former champions on everything from training, preparing for competition and grooming to character of the dances, judges expectations, performance and much more.
• DVIDA Bronze, Silver and Gold Manuals for American, International and Social/Club style dances complete with text and pictures.
