I think this is probably the best of a series of videos made...hands down! I've learned so much, and you make it look so easy that as a beginner I will have a little more confidence to try these moves out. thank you!
Simple and easy to follow. Clear instruction and demonstration. I'd love to see instruction on barrel rolls, from various hand connections, and done in multiples. Again, fantastic videos and instruction! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and the positive feedback! We appreciate that :-) Also, thank you for the video ideas. We love to hear what you guys want when we decide what to do next .
Outstanding work, guys you are fabulous teachers! Although I am not a wcs but salsa dancer, I still recognize a lot in common with it and I will convert it. Thanks for your generosity!
Thank you for stopping in and the positivity! We enjoy salsa too. There is a lot in common between the two. You only have 2 hands and 2 feet... there’s only so many things you can do! Hahaha
Another great video - love the way you break things down in detail with the slo-mo instant replay. Also the tips like finger direction and practicing the lead without the hand are super helpful. I wish my WC Swing looked as smooth and relaxed as Anthony's (my wife says I look rushed and stressed trying to do the whips). An idea for a future video might be your thoughts on how to decide which dance is best to do for a given song?
i like the language of compression and extension vs. compression and leverage. it seems to fit better but my professional bias may have jaded me! i hear leverage and think finance jargon. visiting Houston soon for work and would love some suggestions for Thursday / Friday and Saturday!
That’s cool too. I guess we could call them apples and bananas as long as what we’re talking about makes sense ha! In Houston, there’s a pretty good crowd at Whiskey River on Thursdays, Wild West on Fridays, and Stampede on Saturdays
Love your style of teaching! Please, please, please ... what is the name and artist of the song at the start of this video ... 'let me down easy ....' ?? My kinda WCS temp, would like to practice with it! Thank you.
Best teacher I have ever seen on UA-cam. I have a question: In the last move (Stalker Whip), at the end of couple of forward "WALK WALK" counts you stepped back and verbally counted ROCK STEP ... . What was the third WORD after ROCK STEP? ( previous explanation you counted TRI-PLE STEP) . Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the kind compliment :-) Could you possibly tell us where in the video you're referring to? As in, could you tell us at what time in the video? That will make it much easier to answer.
"She's going to go in the direction that my fingers are pointing"....tiny but huge...and the smoke that you're smelling is the dust on the light bulb that just went off in my head.
Love that! (how did you let that lightbulb get dusty? hahaha) We really do believe that the littlest of things are actually the biggest. Thank you for being here and contributing!!
Excellent teacher. Just a small advice. Could you please breakdown men step clearly with numbers or beat? Women steps are very clear each beat. Thanks.
My confusion either with the 6 count or 8 count is why do they call a 6 count a 6 count when you do a step step triple step triple step? wouldn't that equal 8? the same with the 8 count you say step step triple step step triple step. that is actually 10? I have done it on the dance floor and by watching your video and it is the most confusing part of this whole dance. when I count it by step step triple step triple step, it helps a whole lot except I have a hard time knowing where step 4 is, if I count the steps by #s 12 (ie walk walk) 345 (triple)678 (triple) for the 8 count 1,2 (walk walk) 456 (triple) 67 (walk walk) 8910 (triple) again I lose step 4 and again the steps equal 10 not 8. this is probably the hardest part of this dance
I just wanted to thank you guys for posting these videos very helpful as I am taking the classes to improve my WCS.

@@countrydancex Which Whiskey River, North or West? What about Big Texas?
Love your style of teaching! Please, please, please ... what is the name and artist of the song at the start of this video ... 'let me down easy ....' ?? My kinda WCS temp, would like to practice with it! Thank you.
Hi there. The song is called "Let me down easy" by Pala
How do you typically fix your hands after e.g. the outside turn? In ECS we'd just finish with an inside turn.
I rly like your instructions.....
We love to hear that. Thank you for watching :-)

@@countrydancex @22.:52
The word was "go" as in "rock step go". This would be a triple step (3 steps to 2 beats of music) danced as a rock step and then forward movement.
Can you demonstrate leader’s hand placement going behind the back?
Excellent :)
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :-)
6:18 for the handiwork
I love you both❤❤
Love ya back!
What type of shoes work well for county west coast swing on an evening out dancing? What other options are there for dance?
BTW great WCS dance teaching - very thorough great quality, great detail.
The other night I saw a move with a 'kick-ball-change, or hitch-ball-change. Can you describe this in a WCS move?
Surely! We plan to do a WCS footwork video at some point.

How can I know When will I walk and how many walks I should do? And when will I do triple steps?
How can I know when I walk and do triple steps?
Excellent teacher. Just a small advice. Could you please breakdown men step clearly with numbers or beat? Women steps are very clear each beat. Thanks.
Thank you for the suggestion! We appreciate the feedback :-)
@@countrydancex Thank your for your generosity in sharing your talents and skills. Very cool moves.
do teach extended whips

Hi there. No, there are 6 count and 8 count patterns. They aren’t called 6 and 8 step patterns.
Counts are related to music, not weight changes.
si vous pouviez causer un peu moins vite et prenons le temps de bien comprendre.
