ZeDiamond Dance Method was developed by two dancers, Deborah-Marie Diamond and Zeki Maviyildiz, who were both originally taught to dance East Coast Swing the way Arthur Murray dance studios have taught swing dancing
for years, but they knew there was a better way....

Watch them dance the East Coast Swing
When
she first started taking ballroom dance lessons, Deborah-Marie noticed that many of the beginner dancers were dancing off
time or off rhythm to the music.
At first, Deborah-Marie dismissed her
observation and thought that dancing off time to the music was just the result of being a beginner dancer.
After
awhile, Deborah-Marie noticed that dancers who had danced five, even six years were still dancing off time and off
rhythm.
This
got Deborah-Marie thinking that there must be a better way to teach dance steps and rhythm to dance students.
Deborah-Marie was inspired to try something that was completely new for ballroom and swing dance instruction.
Deborah-Marie started to combine traditional dance step teachings with DiRRiD (Dance in Rhythm-Rhythm in Dance) developed by Heidrun Hoffmann.
Then, collaborating with Zeki Maviyildiz, they created ZeDiamond Dance Method where learning the rhythm is the first order of business.
ZeDiamond
Dance Method Learn the East Coast Swing was born
ZeDiamond Dance Method is grounded in how people
from Africa, India, Japan, and Korea learn rhythm. First they learn the rhythm by saying it in rhythmic syllables.
Then clapping is added. The last thing added is foot movement.
Deborah-Marie takes you through
a similar learning process for learning the East Coast Swing. Without even thinking about it, you are moving and dancing
to the rhythm in your body.
