Every instructor Ive worked with has taught the basic concept of the follow turning one turn, not the 1-1/2. Your idea makes so much more sense and makes it flow so much easier. Thanks for helping make sense of it.
Scuba Traveler Love to hear that! We teach one and a half because that’s the way the dance is structured. Some teachers teach a single turn first because it’s easier for beginners... but ultimately will hold them back later. 1 1/2 is the default degree of turn. It’s easy to demonstrate that with a free spin. The follower will naturally turn 1 1/2 without the leader’s physical influence.
I don't believe I've heard anyone else break down the simplicity of the dance like this before. I like this approach. It makes much more sense. MCDGA !!!
YES! YEEEESSSS!! You did the same thing to us in WCS, breaking it down to just a few basic movements to build from. This is excellent! And because of your explanation, so freaking simple! Now, just to do it . . . Thank you!!!
Been watching a lot of your video's over the past week, I think I'm addicted! Real reason for the comment though - Rose's little beak punch! Haha Thanks for the laugh.
This video was a good reminder for me after watching all your other videos. I love the X University. I like how you categorize each part of the dance, especially if you just need extra help with one aspect. I particularly liked the arm section. I want to be a student of the this U!
We would love to have you as out "virtual student" :-) We're really excited about X Dance University. No kidding, we think it will disrupt an entire industry :-)
Agreed. Danced beautiful crazy last night for the first time and I was damn near tripping over the girl because the song was so slow. Compared to a song like wear my ring it’s the opposite. Learning the steps is one thing but picking up on tempo sometimes is hard

Wow. Excellent insights. So few instructors of anything break things down to the fundamentals. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! The basics are where it's at :-)
