Great way for people to learn before going to the club to give it a try. Thank you for trying to give new dancers the confidence they need to feel good about themselves. And, now they can just start the dvd over and keep practicing until they feel comfortable. Great idea!

This is the best video I've found for teaching the basic steps and passes. It would be great if you made more like this. The other "Move of the week" and "Patterns & Moves" videos give some good ideas, but are way too fast paced for beginners and intermediates to grasp without repeated viewings.

Thanks. Brian! I am presently learning Swing Dance. I am a beginner follower and have been dancing most of the time with beginner leads. Your explanations have shed light on many doubts I had about this variety of dance. Since I am a follower, I have not choice but follow. I know some leads do the "rock step" in triple ECS and the single count ECS using different counts. Is the following way right? Triple Steps Swing 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 (rock step) and for Single Step Swing 1,2-3,4, 5,6 (rock step). So both Triple Step and Single Step are 6-count dance like WCS. Some of the leads dance Single Step Swing as 3-count just like in Hustle. Is this considered wrong?

A neat idea would be is to make a video of you dancing ONLY using these patterns to give newbies to WCS an idea what actual dancing looks like (with music) using only the basics. I have looked online and can't find a video of anyone dancing to music just using the basic patterns by themselves.

West Coast Swing Online I know many of us beginners are searching all over the internet for actual basic dance "routines" and looking for videos of anyone actually dancing using the basic 5-10 patterns. Guess what? We can't find a single one.

Some songs are more suitable for WCS than ECS though they can be used to dance both forms of dance. Thanks. Another question: the "and one" in Hustle is the same to the "rock and step" in Swing?

@WestCoastSwingOnline 8 жыл бұрын

To answer this "the "and one" in Hustle is the same to the "rock and step" in Swing?" Yes they are very similar if you are a newer dancer, however as you get into more detail there are technical and timing differences between the two. The ECS rock step takes 2 beats and has a lilted/rhythmical movement where the hustle rock step is a smoother movement that only take 1 beat.

Excellent tutorial. I have a question though. Is it common to have patterns with different step counts? (e. g. like the whip which has 8 counts). How does this affect the interpretation of the music? Additionally, how does the follower know when to triple step and when not?

@WestCoastSwingOnline Жыл бұрын

Hello, yes it is very common. West coast swing has 6 and 8 count basics that then can extend into longer count variations. The way a follower knows, is by knowing their basic patterns very very well and having a good connection with their partner so they can tell what the leader wants them to do. Once you know your basics very well, you can start counting straight 8's which will help with musicality.www.westcoastswingonline.com/learning-the-wcs-rhythms-6s-and-8s/ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adl6gcllmNicaYU.html

+Peggy Gabler Hi Peggy, I'm probably biased but I love West Coast Swing. Its pretty versatile across many different styles of songs. Both East and West require little dance floor space but WCS is typically slower moving that ECS. However it gets pretty tricky pretty fast. Hopefully this video will help you out!

Can WCS and ECS be danced to the same music? If so, how could WCS be a slower dance if it moves to the same rhythm as East Coast Swing: 2 walks and 2 triple steps?

@WestCoastSwingOnline 8 жыл бұрын

Hi Ally! Good Question. Yes ECS & WCS could be danced to the same music. Lots of dances could be danced to the same music (hustle, cha cha, ecs & wcs could all be danced to the same tunes if needed) However as you look a little deeper at the speed of the music and the accents of the music, certain songs match certain dances much better. I hope that helps a bit! -Brian

@AllyCMa 8 жыл бұрын

In my school, the teachers just teach patterns and do not emphasize counts. Long story short, do we count simple step east coast swing the same way as triple swing- both as six-count dance? Does single step in single step Swing has the same duration as the triple step? (1-2,3-4, rock step ( or 1hold, 2 hold, rock step) has the same duration as 1and 2, 3 and 4, rock step?) Thanks for your attention, Brian?

@WestCoastSwingOnline 8 жыл бұрын

Ok I'll try my best to answer... ;-) Do we count simple step east coast swing the same way as triple swing- both as six-count dance? Answer: You would count it differently because there will be triple steps in regular ECS where as simple or single time swing will not have triple steps. In the triple step you will need to count the '&' beat ECS, 1&2, 3&4, 5, 6 vs single time swing, 12, 34, 5, 6 Does single step in single step Swing has the same duration as the triple step? Answer: yes you are correct! Hope that helps a bit! -Brian

Most songs tend to have an 8 beat pattern, yet most of the technique in this video are 6 count. How do I incorporate those 6 count moves to 8 count beat songs? i.e. what do I do for the 7,8 counts such that I am all setup to perform another move on the next "1" count. Is it just a "filler" 1-2 step in place?

One of the most visual things that you demonstrated is that the foot does not break contact (toe in this case) with the floor. However in this video your foot most definitely breaks contact with the floor. Was the constant contact thing a practice thing to improve smoothness, not meant to be in a real dance step, or what ??

When i count music un count 1 2 3 4, 5 6 7 8, but Here it's 1 2 3 4 5 6, so you finish in the middle of the count. so how do you do to get back on the 1 or 5.

Hi Maia, Thanks for your message. We have largely made that change in our videos but with 100's of videos online many of them still have boy/girl language. Please note we do make some choices on purpose by using language that allows the most dancers to find relevant videos. For example: at this time we still use "ladies styling" for our videos dedicated to the followers simply because that is the most common language that followers are using to look for videos and our job is to get the most relevant videos to WCS dancers around the world.
