Looking back over the past variations, there is an almost total lack of Samba variations. Is this a case of Samba-phobia or what? It would be nice toi see some.

Actually, if you notice, there's a complete lack of International style, period. That's because we haven't gotten around to producing our Int'l series yet.

I don't want to get too backlogged, so I'm not committing to any more film shoots until I finish producing the material that's already in the can. We have the American Smooth variation DVD on the way, and then I have the bronze syllabus clips to add to the website. I suspect that we won't start shooting our Int'l series of variations until mid-2006. Perhaps by summer or fall, you'll start to see those Samba and Quickstep variations appearing.
