About the ADCDs℠
The ABCDs are the only method for unambiguously communicating
every step in every social dance in the same way with every person.
The ABCDs stand for Attitude, Balance, Connection, and Direction.
You can unambiguously communicate every step in social dancing
following the three laws of balance, connection, and direction
explained in Andrew Weitzen's How To Dance With a Partner.
The ABCDs work for every social dance that we know.
We have tested the ABCDs on countless pieces of choreography for numerous different dances including:
Argentine tango, balboa, ballroom, bolero, cajun, cha-cha, contra, country western,
East Coast swing, English country,
folk, foxtrot, international, Israeli, Latin, lindy hop,
mambo, merengue, rumba, samba, salsa, square, tango,
Texas two-step, West Coast swing, waltz, zydeco, and more.
You only have to learn how to communicate once.
You use the same method for all your dancing.
Anyone Can Easily Learn the ABCDs
The ABCDs are so simple that all the major rules
fit on a single sheet of paper.
You learn the principles
in an easy to remember framework of ABCD
which you can learn in an afternoon.
The ABCDs Are the Safest Method of Dancing
With the ABCDs you learn to lead and follow without the use of force.
You learn to dance gently without any pushing and pulling.
Since the ABCDs do not use force to communicate,
they are the safest method of dancing with a partner.
The ABCDs are based on how people naturally interact.
You learn to dance as light as a feather.
The ABCDs give you the maximum freedom of movement to
express yourself to the music.
The ABCDs Help Teachers, Students, and Groups
The ABCDs help dance teachers, students, and groups
by providing a consistent method of leading and following across all dances.
