KDC Friday Latin Masterclass
Three international trainers. Three complementary perspectives.
One purpose — preparing dancers technically, musically and
mentally for the competition floor.
01
Ute Streicher
Technique & Competitive Foundations
“Build the Performance from the Ground Up”
Establish the technical platform through
posture, balance, body alignment, foot action,
weight transfer, timing and coordination.
The emphasis is on maintaining technically reliable
movement under competition pressure.
Competition Focus
Recognising and correcting the small technical errors
that become highly visible to adjudicators.
02
Ludmila Tsyrkum
Dynamics, Musicality & Performance Quality
“Turn Technique into Competitive Dancing”
Develop rhythmical clarity, musical interpretation,
dynamic changes, body action, energy management,
speed and control. Learn how contrast and
musical intention can transform existing choreography.
Competition Focus
Make your existing choreography appear stronger,
clearer, more dynamic and more musical.
03
Alessandra Mason
Competition Presence & Floor Performance
“From Preparation to the Competition Floor”
Bring the training into the competitive environment:
presentation, confidence, projection, spatial
awareness, character, recovery from mistakes and
sustained performance.
Competition Focus
Practical competition-floor simulation with short
performance sections and focused coaching corrections.
