About Goddard Method of Latin Dancing by James Goddard:
This book is for beginners and experienced dancers.
What you will find inside:
• Quick wins to make you look and feel great.
• Guidance on technique, steps and timing that will give you style.
• Easy to follow illustrations and direction of travel diagrams for dance moves.
My book aims to be the key that unlocks your understanding and potential so you can get the most out of dance classes, lessons, social dances and YouTube presentations etc.
Other books concentrate on the technical side of dancing. Whereas my book emphasises the pattern/spirit in easy-to-remember key points, including a variety of holds.
This is an abridged version of the information in my book (Goddard Method of Ballroom and Latin Dancing) released for lockdown and as we come out of it. The book focuses on the Latin part of Ballroom and Latin dancing.
It may be difficult to find space to do Ballroom dances. Latin dances can be done in a large room or conservatory [indoors]; or [outside] on a flat surface such as a patio.
Free on Kindle Unlimited, otherwise less than $1 to buy. Look out for periodic price promotions.

Author Bio:
I have been dancing Ballroom and Latin for many years.
I also have experience of Salsa, Argentine Tango and Ceroc (Modern Jive).
I have an extensive interest in martial arts which I have been practising for a number of years.
I noticed there were patterns and cross overs in principles of movement in martial arts, yoga and other dance styles. This is what inspired me to write this book.
I often joke I use more judo on the dance floor than on the judo mat……..
I am currently working on a book called the Goddard Method of Judo. This will explain how to do judo in a similar style to the way I approached Ballroom and Latin.
