It would be very helpful if, after you show these drills, you show an example by using them while dancing with a partner to a song.

We did these videos while we were in lockdown. There was a follow up video in the series that covered just that. Here is is: ua-cam.com/video/k3cTvuOz-uQ/v-deo.html

You look so elegant and make it look easy as breathing. It takes practice. Thank you for posting! 🌹

Awww thanks! Megan and Emily have been at this a LONG time :-)
Thanks so much for your kind words and keep up the good work -Brian

This video is informative, but how does the follower know what anchor is going to be lead? There isn't much time to 'guess' when you are dancing to music. Thanks for the video.

Cheryl Wadsworth The answer is brainspeed... and you can only get that by practicing, practicing, practicing.

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

Hi Cheryl,
Great point!
Emily touched on it when she talked about being connected on count 4 of a 6 count pattern or count 6 or an 8 count pattern. A clear connection on that beat will help the partnership communicate a shared anchor variation. To Eliah's comment below... yes brain speed helps. The more you get better at that connection and the more quickly you're able to reach with your different anchor variations... the higher probability that it will all happen "Naturally" ;-)
Keep the question coming!
Best wishes,
B

Thank you from Salt Lake City, UT! Would love to see these actually as an anchor on the end of a move...

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

Your wish is our command! Here is the follow up video:ua-cam.com/video/k3cTvuOz-uQ/v-deo.html

[@evertvandenberghe]

Tnx a lot :)

[@rosensumera]

Useless. You should demonstrate together each time you teach an anchor step. Don’t show a hundred steps of anchor step without demonstrating it

[@WestCoastSwingOnline]

I am sorry this was not helpful for you.

[@Robert-tv6he]

Thank you

Super glad you enjoyed it Robert. I hope you're doing well!
