I trying to learn how both of us do a 360 together with 2 step and double 2 step. Do you have a video for that

Are you trying to ruin a whole chapter of our country's history? You suck and you need to stop pretending to dance . You grew up in a place that never did this- five up you idiot.

Fun fact. I’ve danced Tejano most of my life.. spins and turns, lots of fun! Now retired, moved to a location where 2-step is king, taking lessons to learn 2-step, LOL!! Thank you for your videos! Gracias!!

You're good, very understandable. I've seen so many and have taken nothing from most. Ty

confused

I have a question, here I am told that it is common for WCS to constantly trade Partners? Is this true?

overhead view is brilliant. your lessons and overall production are of high quality. thank you, and Rose I really like your steps so effortless and classy.

The man communicates with hand signals.

Wait, I think I learned this as jive? Is that the same?

Thank you, Anthony and Rose! My husband and I achieved the impossible last night using your WCS teaching method. We had a whole floor of beginners dancing West Coast Swing after a 1/2 hour lesson. Unbelievable!! We have been trying to build a WCS community for over 20 years in our small town (Port Townsend, WA) but everyone gave up because it looked too hard and they got too hung up on the footwork. Now, thanks to you, we have a chance! ❤❤❤

3 Years later, my wife and I tried this for an hour or so today following along with the video. I sort of have it down but will have to practice it every day for a week to get my lead correct, footwork semi-smooth and the progression etched in my memory so I can actually lead it on the dancefloor in San Antonio. I'm not used to leading that first inside turn with no left hand and just raising my right arm along her frame. It is a subtle lead that she could miss but we got it down and it looks cool.

Love this!!

Excellent teaching. Clear, intelligent.

I’ve been teaching dance full time for 45 years - just here to compliment you on your teaching ability . Superb, all the details explained in an excellent way , especially for the social dancer

thank you so much for this video! 😃

If the "Couple" button will not click, does that mean all the couple spots are taken? I would like to come to the Lexington, KY one with my husband, as it is a couple of days before our 41st nniversary. Thanks!!

Team up with CTST

See ya in DC and Philly

Very informative, I was originally looking for another video you mentioned somewhere, it was something like "Reasons why you should do the progressive basic." I can't find it, but this one was close enough. Bottom line I'm having trouble getting students to want to do the progressive since literally no one does it that way in San Antonio, TX at the bar. Maybe one or two couples will do the progressive, but mainly it's the other version with the shuffle. My grandma and grandfather did it that way as well so I understand it's the classic way. This is a good break down between the two. However people want to do it the way everyone else is doing it, and I'm still having trouble convincing certain people otherwise. Maybe I'll teach them the shuffle version as asked until they hit a wall, and we need to switch it. Some people have to experience it for themselves. Texans can be stubborn lol

Great to watch you folks dance and explained well. Enjoyed your section of dance to music. We know a few ways of the WCS. Thank you and well done.

Both of my comments are about things that you DID mention buried in other points, I just want to help bring them out more: 1. I firmly believe that EVERYONE should learn both parts, even if they only ever so one while "out dancing" for fun. It really helps to understand what's happening on the other side, and how it's perceived. It helps follows to know what the lead is asking them to do, and leads to know how to ask clearly. 2. This isn't "just" for Country Dancing. Dancing is dancing (though there is a BIG gap between social dancing and "performance" dancing, such as ballet (while still having SOME common elements)). Overall, thanks for this, and for all you do. You are, by far, my favorite (video) teachers. I won't tell you to keep it up, because I have, sadly, watched your "farewell" video, but thanks again.

thats a great move thx

Thank you very much

Thanks for your videos they are appreciated. On this anchor stretch, I find that the follower may take excessive time to get into the stretch resulting in the stretch time missing the next beat of the music. I guess you simply hold the stretch longer for the next down beat? No instructors ever address this problem. I am ready for the next beat but the follower is not ready for what ever reason.

Anthony - have you thought about doing a video for dance instructors? We are starting a couples dance class and could use some guidance. Even though we know the dances, Two Step, Swing, cha and so on. What about teaching a group?

Love u guys ❤❤ would love to have my guy to dance with me like this..he’s to rough with me 😂 he literally broke my nail in a spin one time 😂 😆

I love how u make it look so easy❤ thx so much for ur videos & btw ur a very cute couple❤

Ty I love to dance & unfortunately my ole man is having hip & knee issues..but I do get up & dance with someone usually more woman than men r out there😂I would like to take dance lessons together when his issues r resolved thx again for ur videos ❤❤

Oh ty ty!❤ Im always up with my guy but hip issues & I can hold my own so I danced with this girl from Texas in NJ 😂 & I feel she had me looking like an idiot my guy videotaped it..& I told her to keep it light bc I didn’t know how..I got upset when I saw the video 😂

So basically, whether or not it is a 6 count or 8 count pattern depends on what the leader cues?

But I learned 8 counts where you don't go back to where to start. But thank you so much for this video. I've taken three level 1 lessons and only learned 8 count patterns. Then went to a different event and in the level 1 lesson learned 6 count patterns. And don't know when to use what how. THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Love the video. Love the outtakes. Thank you. I know it takes time and energy to produce.

This video is Genius!! You two are so creative.

You 2 are inspiring me and my lady !

Please lose the baseball beannie. Men should never wear a hat while dancing. It is very disrespectful.

I love you both❤❤

Needed number 4. Thank you.

I would find it great if both teachers had the same amount of speaking time.

I'm not 'up' on KZbin protocols, so why do y'all have 105,k views but only 890 "likes"? The videos are great so there's no way 104,110 people watched y'all's videos and didn't like them. Does it not matter if we hit like?

I dance WCS for over 15 years, I recently want to learn how to lead and come across your videos. Very clear explanation and simple break down. Thank you very much for doing that. But I have difficulty to follow your video without break it down slowly and step by step of the hand movement. Do you have some videos to show the hand movement step by step in order to lead correctly ? How to place the hand is the main key to lead / guide the follower. Thanks

she knows what she is doing. what if your partner doesnt know what her or she is doing . . .

the video is fantastic! thank you so very much!

I wanna ask this girl out but I wanna take her on a dance but like… I dunno how to. But you are a fine teacher

This was all concentrated on her arm. What about the man’s arm. Often times men straight arm a partner and makes them off balance.

Would help me if you explain "Triple", "Rock" etc. Thanks

My Dad was a professional dancer and therefore I learned the foxtrot also. If you learned with the slow slow first, it was easier to go into turns…just a matter of how you learned and later taught others. I give anyone that asks me the choice but I explain my reasoning for my choice and let them try both…8 out of 10 find it easier for the slow slow step first even going into the turns…just a difference in teaching style

Why do you teach the 2-step with the quick quick steps first? We always taught the slow slow first so that the dancers could get on the same step easier as they entered the dance floor! I taught at the original Gilley’s in the late 70s-early 80s…Urban Cowboy era.

Watching all your videos my settings Playback Speed control is getting a workout.

Works here just fine lol

Y'all are so graceful and these instructions are nice and clear.
