Loving your videos! Looking for a video that explains exactly how you do the triple steps. As is in “feet kissing in the middle”, ankle locking, and which foot you push off of. Thanks again for your videos! ❤❤❤

[@justdanze]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful :)

Hi, I'm new to East Coast Swing. Just started learning, and a fellow student (higher level) mentioned a technicality on toe, toe-heel, toe-heel or something regarding the triple step. Can you elaborate on that? Or have a video about it?

[@justdanze]

Hi! That's great; ECS is a fun dance! That means that on the first step of your triple step you don't let your heel touch the floor and on the second and third step on the triple you will lower the heel. Because it's a rhythm dance that stays primarily in one spot on the floor, all your steps will begin with the ball of your foot. I hope that helps 👍

[@didilias]

This is awesome, thank you!!!

[@justdanze]

You're welcome!

Different ways to interpret swing dancing. Some more subtle styles utilize smaller rock steps. And others utilize less hip swaying &/or "bouncing".

[@justdanze]

Thanks for your comment

To Trish how do you do a window dance or a sweetheart Scottish from Steven

[@stevenotero2331]

In dancing is frame the most important in dancing along with two step from Steven

[@justdanze]

When it comes to being able to connect, and lead/follow your partner, the frame is very important. Other important factors include having good posture which aids in good balance and technique so that you and your partner are moving together. I hope that helps :)

[@jorgekatimpo8804]

Was great 😻

[@justdanze]

Thank you!

[@jenbeveridge4618]

Where did you get your shoes and what brand?

[@justdanze]

I got them at a studio in Michigan. They are Capezios. :)

[@hennyherps7789]

Top !!!

[@stevenotero2331]

To just danze how do we do the sweetheart Scottish from Steven

[@justdanze]

Hi Steven! I'm not sure what the Sweetheart Scottish is. There are many variations of Sweetheart and I'm not sure which variation this is.

[@Frank-nh9fe]

The hip action actually takes a lot less energy than the up/down motion. Much less tiring.

[@justdanze]

For sure! It makes the dance feel much better too!

[@jadegan6705]

Yeah ditto. I was wondering why it was looking like a horsey

[@davidblumberg5543]

I belive it would have been better if I watched & copied you from your back.

[@justdanze]

Thank you for the feedback! Sometimes that does make it easier to follow and we will keep that in mind for our videos moving forward.
