I feel very fortunate to have been actively competing at the period William refers to with the Italian couples at the very top. So many wonderfully charismatic as well as technically brilliant dancers. By comparison I've found the past decade a little boring in terms of the personalities and styles. I based my own dancing on William Pino and Luca Berrechi, primarily because of their floor presence dance styles and charisma. Some coaches don't necessarily dance what they teach. William and Elessandra certainly do. One of the real masters of Ballroom dance style.

Always loved William and Alexandra’s dancing. Intelligent, musical and passionate. Their energy was magnetic to watch. Thank you for beautiful and wise words William.

12:45 Awareness of the Musical, partner, good technique…… Good taste as a performer.

[@rogelee-TW]

8:00 We are truthful in our teaching, we know the source of ballroom and pass on with our experience as well, we are not trying to be fashionable.

[@rogelee-TW]

6:00 The success is that we look real and natural in ballroom dancing.

[@rogelee-TW]

13:30 Why you dance? Passion? If your reason is correct then you’ll have better chance.

[@rogelee-TW]

11:45 The ballroom big nation is shifting from Nordic, Italy, Russia… it’s ok, but when it stuck it will be a problem.

[@rogelee-TW]

10:30, Ballroom dancing includes ballroom, music, 2 people danced in the music…… other than this it’s no ballroom dancing. We do what we are good at, We don’t try to become something that we are not.
