Re: More effective methods to teach ballroom dancing?

    wrong direction, arm too low...)?


And applies 800 pounds of torque to get the knee in the
right position -- ouch!

Wouldn't session in a motion capture studio get most of
the same benefit, if there is much benefit beyond that
of a video recorder or a mirror?  It must have been tried, what
was the verdict?
