WEST COAST SWING Footwork and Syncopations for WCS

[@sharonkagan2487]

You two are amazing. Thank you for giving us something that allows us to create and improvise within. This is exactly what I was looking for. More please!!!!

[@countrydancex]

Our pleasure! So glad you're here!

[@japjaw1]

That idea about the walk-walk and the triple step being opposites that you can substitute to get back into the "correct" foot position was a huge eye opener--simple and genius at the same time. Thank you.

[@countrydancex]

So glad it was helpful!

[@annajackson7087]

Yes, please!! You two are terrific!

[@countrydancex]

That’s sweet ❤️ Thank you for being here!

[@boyce1000]

Love to see the syncopation video. Like to see examples of the leader doing them as well.

[@countrydancex]

For sure! We look forward to doing it and will definitely include both the leader and follower.

[@chloecheyann2103]

I would love to see more of the country swing series!

[@countrydancex]

We’re working on making more :-)

[@harryrubash4011]

Please do the Syncopation and footwork video.

[@countrydancex]

Yessir!

[@stephenlam7677]

I watch a lot of West Coast instructional videos but you guys broke it down in such a way that it really helped me see West Coast swing differently thank you very!

[@countrydancex]

Glad it helped!

[@laurizacher113]

Yes I want to see syncopation and patterns!

[@countrydancex]

We’ll do it!

[@briblack1]

This makes it make so more sense!! Felt like I was breaking all the rules!

[@countrydancex]

Who is this person that makes all the rules anyway? ha!

[@pamwitzig2253]

Your videos are helpful. I'm also looking for instruction on moves I see where the follower pushes off the leaders chest. At what point does that work? :)

[@Garybe441]

Love the way you explained WCS , you made it sooo logical and understandable , Thanks A Lot

[@countrydancex]

We love to hear that! We feel like the entire point of teaching is to get someone else to understand and be able to do something.

[@threedogracing]

Would like to see the syncopation video.

[@countrydancex]

Awesome. We’ll do it!

[@cegrix6811]

I learn so much from you. You really break the WCS down well.

[@timevans1958]

What particular music for WCS.? Love you guys

[@countrydancex]

WCS can be danced to almost any genre of music that is in 4/4 :-) Does it make you want to move? If yes, dance!

[@das5842]

This was an awesome video, and extremely helpful. I hope you do make the syncopations video if you haven't already!

[@beverlysmith6031]

Great video I'm learning each step very slowly I'm getting there yay.💃💃

[@countrydancex]

Keep it up!

[@beverlysmith6031]

@@countrydancex Thanks!! you guys keep bringing those videos back. God bless.

[@countrydancex]

@@beverlysmith6031 For sure! We'll be posting every Tuesday evening from now on. (6:30pm Central)

[@beverlysmith6031]

[@franksoukup1187]

Would love to see the syncopation steps! Need this breakthrough for both my wife and I.

[@countrydancex]

Awesome! We're on it :-)

[@sddancer]

Looking forward to the syncopation video

[@countrydancex]

We're looking forward to doing it!

[@1bethchen]

Love your videos! My sweetheart and I are learning from you both and are such fans of how you break it down! Amazing ❤

[@countrydancex]

So glad! Keep dancin’!

[@karminkuehnel8400]

Yes, please show us some cool syncopations that we can use, instead of the usual foot work! So far, I saw that we can use kick/ball/change instead of walk, walk and a ronde to replace the anchor step

[@countrydancex]

That is definitely a video we want to make!

[@bryansasser5933]

What are some good songs to practice to?

[@richardlindquistjr]

Your videos are great thanks 🎉

[@hrmcleod77]

Would love to see the syncopation steps!

[@countrydancex]

It'll be a fun one to do :-)

[@runtherisk338]

Hey, what’s the name of the song in the opening?

[@llRoyalty]

Nice, I’m excited

[@countrydancex]

We hope you enjoy it!

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

Thank you guys! I love your videos - well explained! You’re a lovely couple and I love the way your videos are filmed, the B roll and the sound! Syncopations add even more fun to west coast swing! 😃

[@countrydancex]

It makes us so happy to hear that you enjoyed it! We appreciate you being here and contributing. Btw... we love that you’re also promoting dance online. Let’s keep everyone growing!

[@FilipedeBarrosDance]

@@countrydancex thank you for your wonderful words! Thank you! Yes let’s all support each other in the wonderful community of dance! Here’s a video request! For those people that would like to dance with at least one leg straight at a time (rather than two bent knees most of the time), any tips? 🌟

[@clegg971]

Your videos are so very good!! I've just spent the past 3 or 4 hours watching them all. What I would really like to see is a video or two on ladies styling for WCS. Arms, hands, hips, how do you make it look sexy without it looking like you are a strip tease dancer.

[@countrydancex]

Thank you so much for the positivity and for being here! That’s a great idea for a video too.

[@sparkles3282]

Yes please

[@CliffHousego]

What's that song?

[@countrydancex]

Hey Cliff. We use royalty free music (copyright laws). I bet you could Shazam it, though

[@CliffHousego]

Thanks for getting back to me. Ya I use Royalty Free also, I did Shazam and it did not come up. I'll try again.

[@beverlysmith6031]

Show me what yall working with this time.

[@countrydancex]

:-)

[@krystynahenrikson2026]

The text is covering your feet. Do we need that text?

[@countrydancex]

It sounds like you may have your closed captions turned on. This isn't something we add to the videos. You can turn this option off in your youtube by clicking the cc button.

[@7550375503]

Cookin' Hot!

[@normanrehme3836]

Yes, definitely. This is scary territory to leave a script.

[@countrydancex]

Who needs a script anyway? Tell your own story ;-)

[@alexander12305]

In my opinion, there are much explanations for intermediates and too early concepts for beginners.

[@countrydancex]

Not sure I understand... but thanks for watching!

[@alexander12305]

@@countrydancex I am better to learn by seeing than listening.

[@countrydancex]

@@alexander12305 I'm sure there are instructors near you that can help you

[@cidofonseca1915]

fala demais e mostra pouco os passos, faz ao contrário.

[@countrydancex]

vai a um canal de língua inglesa, reclama de falar muito, mas o faz em português e não em inglês e não mostra dança nem faz vídeos próprios.

[@dathorndike4908]

Great instructions, I am just glad you aren't dancing to that awful music you use an intro to your video
