West Coast Swing Dance, Partner Communication, July 22, 2024
We continued our dance journey with Madeline and Clark, developing the ever important partner communication. Applying their layering style of teaching, they continued to expand on former classes. This class advanced further into connection and partner communication, while strengthening awareness of the elastic nature of the dance. We were reminded that WCS is essentially an improvised dance.The constants that exist are the tension-release rubber band effect, and the anchor step at the end of each series of moves. What fun! Thanks Madeline and Clark for a nice Monday evening

We practiced a variety of moves out of the Right Side pass and the Sliding Door moves. We also learned about t...

Great jop. Thank you, but where is the music??? I'm from Switzerland and don't know that style of dance🇨🇭😉😘 please do try it again... Hugs from Basel Switzerland Rosa
Wow awesome
Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see you demonstrate to music after the formal illustration. Just for a minute to see all these steps, turns, and options in play. 😁
Yahoo!super editing, goodnight! 🤙
Where are the variations on the Left side pass?
Thanks
Hi thanks for this. Very good teaching
Can't wait to try this out thanks for the video
This seems to be the American style of Viennese Waltz because the international style VW is completely different.
Bravi
With respect, that's not the proper use of "fallaway."
Beautiful!
This lesson was perfect! The same basic patterns with variations that make you look cool on the dance floor.
This class was so much fun and the instruction was very clearn.
