Nate Diaz has great diction in this video, I did not know he could dance too

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

That's hilarious - I've heard that more than once on these videos. I think my brother looks more like him than me ;-)

This is excellent. Thank you both!

Six count. Eight count. Ten count. It doesn’t matter as long as you keep moving, hence the beloved anchor step.

Really great vid for a refresher!

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

So glad we could help with your refresher!

[@nikoflow_fm9541]

Thanks for this! Do you know if most dance WCS comps would accept two male partners? Me n my boyfriend wanna join but every one we’ve seen so far is mixed gender. No problem if so, just curious! :-)

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

Yes for sure - it's pretty normal for people to just choose the role they want to dance. Back in the day it was Men Lead and Ladies Follow. Now you'll have Males Leading and Following and Ladies Leading and Following. So don't sweat. Chose which role you want to dance and go for it! Hope that helps -Brian

[@nikoflow_fm9541]

Thank you so much!!

[@jochenjunker1782]

Thank you very much for your beautiful videos. I have a question about that. Why don't the men make figures or turns?

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

In the basics, leaders have a lot of other things to focus on. When you get more advanced the leaders have turns and footwork styling and fun things. But like everything to be able to be good at those kind of things you need a good foundation.

[@beltop5]

Are her steps supposed to be slightly behind the beat?

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

The followers footwork should be on beat. The leader needs to lead a millisecond early to make sure everything is on beat.

[@BeniBela]

I was hoping the pattern tree would look like a christmas tree. But it does not :/

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

Ahhh that would have been fun. We tinkered with several versions (like A LOT) and many failed LOL This was the best one we could come up with. ;-)

[@lisabc99]

What's up with 6 counts then 8 counts. 😮

[@mayabialik4867]

those I can handle but what about the TEN COUNTS!?

[@AllyCMa]

interesting collection of patterns

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

These are the basics of west coast swing. Every other pattern is based of these patterns.

[@Mani26ification]

Great ! Thank you so much !

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

Thank you for supporting us!

[@raoh8096]

Looks like the man does all the footwork.

[@xyulo]

i mean, the number of steps is equal for both partners, but the leader does the leading, and follower does the following, obviously :) as somebody who has done both, i would say that leading is indeed harder, although both require different set of skills

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

Everyone has the same amount of footwork, however the leader has a harder job bc of how many things the leader is in charge of.

[@juliensanchez2170]

Yes he s too the only one who know count to 6 or 8
