Great lesson, but really it wouldn’t be out of place on a Mister Rogers episode.

[@SyncopatedCity]

HaHAHA, we just need to wear sweater vests next time. @@davidshort8974

You seem to be the first teachers that I see who are incredibly clear in explaining things, I appreciate especially the slow down effect that breaks the mvement into separate parts. Thank you so much for that. Waving my hellos from Prague, Hanka

Evita is very theatrical in her presentation, can't help but smile

This video is great! Beautiful movements, with counting, and detailed explanation on how to communicate with your partners with hands

[@enteimaginante2129]

What a great video! I find especially useful the "How do the leader know this or that...?" hints, the closeups on the hands and the repetition on different angles, as well. I may add that you are so lovely! I would jump into the screen and hugh you guys. Thanks a lot.

[@SyncopatedCity]

I love love your way of explaining moves also how you explain the idea of how moves work with motion or the lead position should lead our partners to move in a certain way . i also notice and enjoy how your love and passion for dancing comes through so clearly . yes to correctly do moves is a must but having fun and love of dancing goes a long way . thanks for sharing some lessons .

[@johnboythelegend]

Do you dance Balboa?

[@SyncopatedCity]

I'd say we're definitely aware of it but certainly not experts. Why do you ask?

[@johnboythelegend]

evitaandmichael website I dance Balboa, so I guess that I'm interested :)

[@SyncopatedCity]

Understood. We definitely appreciate the dance, for sure, and I'd say we know and respect the form enough to know that it's not our wheelhouse. 😉

[@SyncopatedCity]

Haha, you're right. Makes sense . . . New York City.

[@1529jspartan]

With all due respect that turn is not so easy, a follower would need a lot of practice !

[@SyncopatedCity]

Thank you for the comment, Bellz Toll, and we agree. Though some may look at this variation as simple, we think there are a lot of little details needed to make this move feel great. ;-)

[@MarioAvila3121]

with all do respect, this is triple step ECS , It's easy enough to teach in an advanced beginning level class.

[@MarioAvila3121]

Y'all look cute, nice outfits.......and nice swing moves as well

[@SyncopatedCity]

Thanks prince!
