David & Carrie Kloss - The Art Of American Style Dancing. There is really no one technique or element that creates a high standard of dancing, but many techniques combined. The goals in these videos are to show what they feel, to be fundamentally important and often overlooked. This is understanding the many different dance positions the American Style dancer has available to them, and the ability to show from one position to another smoothly and effortessly. Also, the relationship between two partners and their responsibilities for creating very elegant and seamless connections from open to closed dance positions. In demonstrating the techniques, they have created very nice patterns in each video.
