Great tips, Filipe! I wish I was in Lisbon again, dancing with you all! I look forward to your video channel!

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

Thank you so much Ms Judy! If you any questions or suggestions for future videos - feel free to let me know! 😃

Great video lesson Filipe. Nice job showing the apple jack variation footwork. I'm still working on this. LOL 😍

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

Dennis!! Thank you so much. The anchor step is a beautiful moment in west coast swing and it's nice to vary it up! I hope those apple jacks are going well! It helps to think about the weight on the ball of one foot and the heel of the other 😃

[@bogumianiedziaek9899]

Nice! I like your tips

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

Hi Gina! You're very welcome! How is your west coast swing going? 😃

[@zacheatsworld]

Great video! Started WCS this year and feel comfortable with my basic patterns, but wanted ways to spice them up. This was perfect.

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

Ahhh, thank you so much Zach for taking the time to write your message! I appreciate it! Isn't west coast swing so fun!? Let me know if you have any questions or requests for videos!

[@zacheatsworld]

@@FilipedeBarrosDance Hey Filipe! If you could do a video on how to “actually dance” to the music as opposed to hitting basic patterns back to back that’d be great! Or what beginners should focus on before their first competition (gonna do Easter Swing next year), I’d greatly appreciate it! Subbed. 🙂

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

Hey Zach! Oooo, those are two great questions! Fabulous! Thanks for those - you’ve got me thinking 😁 Thank you so much for subscribing to the channel! 🎉 Where do you dance west coast swing? Perhaps I might know your teachers!

[@zacheatsworld]

@@FilipedeBarrosDance I dance in Seattle! Got started with Za this year via privates and I also learn from Paul and Melinda Booth.

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

@@zacheatsworld Oh cool! I just looked up videos of them all on youTube 😃 Seattle looks like a great city to dance west coast swing!
