Hello! I have just fallen head over heels in love with ballroom and have been going to as many classes and socials as fiscally possible. In doing that, I attend ballroom functions primarily from two different studios. Here is my issue, Studio A says one thing while Studio B contradicts. So I guess this question has two parts:

What is the proper frame for international standard?
How should I deal with the discrepancies between the two studios?

Any help/advice would be a HUGE help! Thank You!

I'm just curious as to what the discrepancy is in the teaching of frame? What exactly does studio B contradict in A?
Could it just be a matter of explanation?
Sometimes people use different ways of teaching the same concept, and this can confuse people into thinking there is a contradiction.(If that statement makes sense.)

Oh no worries, that question makes perfect sense!
Well Studio A says:

You should stand straight up. Then bend at the knee keeping a straight line between the knee and the shoulders. So you are kind of leaning back. Then keep your elbows in front of your head and lift left. Also all the connection should come through your wrist not the arm. You arm shouldn't necessarily be "resting" on his.

Studio B says:
That it is just an illusion of leaning back and that that is done by strengthening the back and torso muscles and moving your rib cage and not physically leaning back because that would put you off balance. Also that yes you knees should bent slightly but all of you weight should be over your feet. Also for your arms there should be connection with the fore arm and wrist. This one I am not so familiar with so I might be explaining it wrong. It was just explained to me last night. But i know that they are different because one studio said "they are wrong."

I just want to learn the correct way because someday I want to be good enough to compete. So thank you again for any help.
