An • Latomy
Latin Dance Anatomy Online Course
The An‧Latomy : Latin Dance Anatomy Online Course is a body mechanics learning system specifically designed for Latin dance enthusiasts, coaches, and competitors. This course is an extension of the previous two editions of the “Latin Dance Anatomy” book, integrating anatomy, joint mechanics, the kinetic chain, and functional training to reframe the body logic behind Latin dance movements.
“An‧Latomy” has been developed in collaboration with interdisciplinary professionals, including physical therapists, sports performance coaches, and doctors. It has received endorsements from multiple world champions and top coaches, and has sold in over 35 countries. The online course further transforms the theoretical concepts from the book into more intuitive video explanations, movement analyses, and practical training applications.
Through this course, you will understand how movements are generated, how styles are formed, why the body can or cannot perform certain actions, and how to apply this understanding to your Latin dance training and performance.
By exploring joint mechanics, functional anatomy, and the kinetic chain system, you will reshape your understanding of Latin dance and its foundational logic.

Four Course Units
**Unit 1 | Basics of Joint Mechanics**
Starting from the foundational body structure and joint mechanics, this unit helps you understand the movement patterns, limitations, and functions of individual joints, establishing the body mechanics foundation for Latin dance movements.
**Unit 2 | Analyzing Dance Teaching Myths**
Based on an understanding of joint mechanics and the kinetic chain, this unit will analyze the common language, concepts, and training myths in Latin dance teaching over the years, helping you understand the underlying mechanical logic.
**Unit 3 | Practical Functional Training**
Functional training is not just about improving strength or mobility; it is about equipping the body with the control, stability, coordination, and power transfer abilities needed to execute Latin dance movements.
**Unit 4 | Integration and Application of Dance Movements**
In the final unit, the course will integrate joint mechanics, teaching myth analysis, and functional training back into actual Latin dance movements, helping you understand the sources, pathways, power transfer, and performance methods of movements.
Course Design Highlight I Replacing Long Continuous Lessons with Short Modular Videos
The An•Latomy online course adopts a modular short-video structure, breaking down complex biomechanical concepts into clear and focused learning units.
Unlike conventional online courses that rely on long, continuous explanations, each video focuses on one specific topic, helping you grasp the key ideas more efficiently while allowing you to pause, revisit, and organize the content at your own pace.
This design is not about reducing the amount of content, but about precisely distilling the key ideas and reducing unnecessary information overload, making the learning process easier to understand, digest, and apply directly to dance.
The value of the course does not lie in simply accumulating video length, but in whether each segment is clear, effective, and truly helps you build a deeper understanding of body mechanics.
Why You Need This Course
In the field of Latin dance, teaching content often relies on the personal experiences of dancers gathered from years of training, competition, and exploration. While these experiences are invaluable, each person’s body structure, proportions, mobility, cultural background, and understanding of movements vary. Therefore, the same movement or teaching cue may not yield the same results across different bodies.
Often, we simplify movement differences as “different styles.”
However, from a biomechanical perspective, what we refer to as style often arises from differences in joint activation sequences, target muscle groups, power transfer methods, and kinetic chain strategies.
An‧Latomy aims to provide a more objective sports science perspective to reorganize common movements, styles, training, and teaching language in Latin dance. This helps dancers move beyond mere imitation and, through scientific anatomical and mechanical analysis, understand the origins and strategies of movements. It transforms what has traditionally been described as “feeling,” “style,” or “experience” into a body logic that can be understood, analyzed, trained, and applied, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of dance.
What You Will Learn
Through this course, you will learn:
– How to understand the generation and interaction of Latin dance movements from a joint mechanics perspective
– The body strategies behind so-called “style differences”
– How to break down common contradictions and myths in Latin dance training
– How to truly connect functional training to Latin dance applications
– How to establish a more objective and clearer movement analysis ability
– How to enhance practice, teaching, and dance performance efficiency
Target Audience
This course is suitable for:
– Dancers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the body’s operation in Latin dance
– Learners facing technical bottlenecks who are unsure of the source of their issues
– Competitors looking to enhance movement quality, efficiency, and stability
– Latin dance teachers who want to explain movements with clearer logic
– Coaches and trainers who wish to apply functional training effectively in dance
– Readers who have read “The Latin Dance Anatomy” and wish to further their learning through videos
– Individuals who are not satisfied with merely imitating appearances but wish to understand the essence of movements
The content of An‧Latomy has received endorsements from multiple world champions and has reached readers in over 35 countries, allowing dancers, teachers, and learners from different regions to rediscover Latin dance through anatomy.
Ready to rethink Latin dance from a body mechanics perspective?
Through the An•Latomy online course, you will connect anatomy, joint mechanics, functional training, and dance applications, establishing a deeper and clearer approach to learning Latin dance.
Not just imitating movements,
but understanding the mechanical strategies behind them.
