New Vogue Championship
Dances
Fourth Edition
ISBN 978-0-9803057-0-8
In 2006 Russ rewrote this book,
upgrading and updating the technique to take current trends in new vogue into
account. Changes to six dances were approved by Dancesport Australia (DSA) prior
to publication, maintaining the book's status as recognised and approved
technique for the fifteen championship dances.
Colour pages and photos have been
included (36 colour pages in 132 page book), and the book is now published in A5
landscape format for ease of handling on the dance floor.
The New Vogue Quickstep
technique (a dance invented by Russ), is also included.
New vogue is Australian sequence dancing and is the third
competitive style in Australia, attracting as many
participants as standard
(modern ballroom) and Latin American.
