Heigan Dancing Lesson by Trindade
http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=30416
Well, it suprised me that loads of comments were made on this video, so I decided to make a detail description about this.
First of all, sorry for my bad English.
As some of you may have already guessed, this video is not originally made by me. It first published on WCM about 2 years ago. I learned a lot from this video when my guild struggled in Naxx 40. I noticed that there were no Heigan video on youtube, so I uploaded it in case that one day I lost this video.
In TBC and early WotLK, I totally forgot it (no one found this, either). When I finally realized that someone found and learned a lot from this video, I was both happy and worry. It good to see this video actually help others, but it my bad not having declared who created this video. I sincerely hope Trindade won’t mind this.
I’m not sure if this is against YouTube rule or not, I’ll delete this if it does.
Have fun in Naxx!

Salsa/Mambo History -Palladium Era-Golden Age of Dance PART1
This episode is a 27 minute documentary showing Mambo dancing in New York City at the Palladium in the 1950s. Back then the night began with a free mambo lesson On 2 (hey, just like they do today at some places !) and continued until 4AM. Old footage was displayed of the famous dancers of that era. Their dance style was not quite as precise and polished as today’s dancers but it was fun to watch everyone doing their thing on the dance floor.
Currently, the Ballet Hispanico dance company is performing at the Joyce Theater in New York reliving the days at the Palladium. Each dancer was selected to play a certain “character” from the 1950s palladium days: the socialite, the married couple dance instructors, the underage girl, the hot Casanova, plus the neighborhood people and weekly regulars. And “playing the role of the big band at the Palladium is Ray Rodriguez and orchestra Swing Sabroso !”
It was great ! Dancing to “Baila con Swing Sabroso”, side by side footage was shown on the screen of the black and white 1950s Palladium dance floor mixed in with the current Crystals dance floor showing identical dance moves and dress. Footage of the band at Crystals was mixed in with their music video.

The Utah Valley University Ballroom Dance Company has waltzed its way into the hearts of thousands over the years, and now it has the opportunity to claim millions of followers.
Representatives from the ABC show Dancing with the Stars announced that UVU will be one of four competitors in a collegiate ballroom formation team dance-off airing on the show this month. UVU will compete against Rutgers (The State University of New Jersey) on May 18 and would face off against a second university squad in the championship round on May 25 if the team gets voted through.
ABC could not have selected a more talented and well-prepared collegiate dance team for this competition, said UVU President Matthew S. Holland. Led by Scott Asbell, the dance team truly is one of the jewels of this campus. I know they will represent UVU with class and distinction on the national stage.
The UVU ballroom team is no stranger to competition. Currently the reigning No. 2 formation team in the nation based on National Dance Council of America rankings, the UVU dancers are used to performing in front of professional ballroom judges, but the ABC show uses audience call-in votes to determine winners. Scott Asbell, director of the UVU Ballroom Dance Company, gave his dancers a taste of this type of judging recently at the companys Spring Concert when he gave out ballots to the audience and asked for their input on the dancers performances.
Knowing UVUs reputation as having one of the nations top ballroom dance teams, ABC representatives initiated contact with Scott Asbell last month. The ABC representatives filled Asbell in on their idea and asked him to provide video footage of his dancers for consideration.
The producers saw our footage and literally said, Wow! Asbell said.
In addition to UVUs selection from a national pool, the ABC show has featured Utah competitors such as Donny and Marie Osmond, the former winning the 2009 competition.
UVU has a well-established ballroom dance program. UVU offers a bachelors degree in ballroom dance and full four-year scholarships. Among its many successes, the UVU team boasts four championships at the vaunted Blackpool competition.
