Hi Subdriver,
There are two ways to get access to the variation archive:
One is to purchase a DVD of previous variations. There are two DVD's, each containing 20 variations. One features the Smooth dances, the other the Rhythm. Here are the links to the product pages:

https://www.ballroomdancers.com/users/premium.aspBoth the DVD and the premium membership provide full instruction, not just the narrated demo video. The advantages to the DVD's are (1) they're the cheaper option, and (2) you own them forever. Premium membership must be renewed every year if you want to continue to have access to the content, but in addition to the variation archive, it also gives you access to the videos in the full bronze and silver syllabus, as well as any future content. Starting in January we will be adding full instructional videos for the syllabus, too.
