This chapter begins to stir some motion into the text. It uses Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) to analyze the videos I took during my observations. Going over each of the five Latin dances, it delineates the characteristics of each as they express social and historical meanings through movement. This chapter shows the reader how these dances can display both the colonial roots of this practice and the subsequent development of it by the English dance masters and Soviet migrants in North America. Here, I also show how the dances are structured technically and kinesiologically by analyzing the ISTD and Walter Laird’s manuals. I expose how these dances are transformed in the competitive environment to enable the extreme feats of performance at elite levels. Next, I analyze the dances from a kinesiological perspective, looking at the body as a biomechanical unit with specific and optimal lines of pull, the integrity of which either enables or disables efficient movement. I conclude by discussing the phenomenological implications of ballroom dance on the culture and society where it is practiced, where its presence can frame the context in which it exists.
