Honestly, I don't know one single video from you that isn't a treasure 😎😎

[@stis8alassestoupolou]

Agreed! So quality content. Perfect for dancers who analysis

[@Trixiethewestie]

Thank you brooks for not skipping out on triple steps. I find that many leaders don’t do triples but expect their followers to do them.

[@LauraGlaess]

Triple steps are awesome!

[@Nosettknowsit]

I've seen that six count circle with a break everywhere in performances but I could never figure it out-I always assumed it was 8 count footwork. Thank you so much

[@TheOshag]

Just gotta say, you are an excellent teacher and your editing/videography is really helpful for illustrating the points! Thanks a lot!

[@susancarlisle4597]

Every summer, a local jazz band plays in the park and they host swing dance parties every weekend. I can't wait to use this stuff there! (I also love your shirt and want to know where you sourced it).

[@LauraGlaess]

Thank you! And Shein.com

[@pedrofedericoquijano8919]

Nice lesson, you make a beautiful couple! Best regards from France.

[@LauraGlaess]

Thanks! He's pretty cool, I guess 😘 (I lie, he's pretty DANG cool)

[@abrahameduardoordoricaisla9103]

I've learned the circle in 8 time but I'd never figured out it was possible in 6 times

[@BS-bd5uq]

Great video! A dumb question: it seems that you tuck turn at the second triple step in the 6 count while you turn on the first triple step in a side pass. Is that a strict thing?

[@yellowcat4745]

Whats the difference to jive?

[@satchelmouth1]

Is 6 count basic or 8 count? Can you switch from 6 count to 8 count and vise versa? Is a swing out in 6 count possible?

[@LauraGlaess]

Both 6 and 8 are basic. Switching between is possible and happens constantly. The swingout is possible in 6 but is done infrequently.

[@TomTom-em2xl]

⁠@@LauraGlaessgreat video. Simple, efficient, which gives the mood of standing up and dancing ! I want to watch all your videos ! Merci, bravo. Just one question please : what is « swing out » ?

[@geekonomist]

None of swing is in 6 counts. Why use a six count for dancing?
