Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2020
- In this East Coast Swing dance (ECS) dance lesson, Anthony and Rose of Country Dance X teach you how to swing dance an intermediate move "the Bowtie and Neck Roll".
East Coast Swing is one of the most popular social dance styles and one of the 8 styles of country dancing. ECS is easy to learn how to dance and is the most popular swing dance for beginner social dance students.
Learning how to East Coast Swing dance is easy because the basic steps consist of only 3 basic steps. Once you learn these 3 swing dance moves, most everything else in east coast swing dance is just different ways to do those same swing dance steps.
If you haven't already, be sure to watch our how to East Coast Swing basic steps video:

Figures rock très bien merci
Dear Anthony and Miss Rose,
We've watched your lesson a thousand times,
and practice every day,
But we don't look any thing like you.
I think it's my Wife fault..
If I was dancing with Rose, I'd do great!
My Wife thinks I'm the problem, and if
she was dancing with Anthony she'd look cool!
(She bursts out laughing every time she tries to do
the double turn! You need to have a serious talk with her!)
Only a few days to start our beginners class
And we still look like lame ducks!

This is funny 😆 Thank you guys for being here! We remember what that stage was like
East Coast is just plain fun! You 2 make it funner!
Haven't danced since March, sure miss it.
Hahaha! At first, I thought you said “funnier”.
Thank you for being here and sending the positive note.
Keep dancing. We’ll all be back at it before you know it.
We signed up for "East Coast" Dance Classes,
and we've been practicing your lessons
over and over a hundred times so we come prepared,
and don't look like wounded water buffaloes.
We sampled a number of You Tube lessons,
but we like your classes the best.
(Besides Rose is so Sweet!)
You explain and demonstrate things so well!
We really appreciate your lead and support!
We're starting to get it.
(We're just shuffling along, and don't have the
Bouncy swing step you have..
A lesson on that would be Wonderful.)

Love this pattern! Simple, yet gives the illusion of being advanced...keep em coming!
Thank you! Will do!
My gf and I just became very enthusiastic fans of yours!!
Yeeaaahhh! We’re excited to have you guys here :-)
Love the pattern 👌🏼
You are explaining things really well.
So glad it’s helpful!
I just love the energy that the both of you present. It's a joy watching you both. Stay inspired!💕❤️💕💃🕺
Thank you! We're pretty much doing our favorite thing ... so it's easy :-)
Dear Anthony and Miss Rose,
We've been giving this our best shot,
but somehow we don't look anything like you.
I think it's my Wife's fault.
If I was dancing with Rose, I'd do Great!
My Wife figures I'm the problem,
and if she was dancing with Anthony,
she would look cool!
(She bursts out laughing every time
we do the double turn!)
We only have 3 more days to our first class for beginners.
We wanted to be able to do something
besides laugh. (You need to have
a serious talk with her!)
We watched your video a thousand times.
I see it in my sleep, but we're still a couple of lame ducks..
We'll fly yet, just wait and see!

Wow that looks good
Your cues are so clear ! Iv been watching both east and west coast swing. Your a great team
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying the videos :-)
Love it
Me encanto
I watch every video of yours. You are simply great!
We appreciate that so much! Thank you for being here :-)
Excellent move! My wife and I are now practicing it and will soon add it to our "ECS repertoire."
Awesome! Let us know how it goes!
Thanks to your way of teaching, we got the essentials of it in one rehearsal. (Our finished basement rec room is a dance hall.). Now it’s just a matter of smoothing and styling.
Thank you so much for your channel. Y’all are awesome
That’s sweet! You’re welcome. Thank you for joining us :-)
Very clear pointers and helpful tips for both leads and followers. So thorough which is something you don't come across on a lot of dance videos. Thank you from UK. (I'm teaching East Coast here now instead of ballroom jive because I find it more free and more accessible to people who haven't danced before. There isn't so much of it here though so instruction like yours is very helpful to keep me on track.
That’s awesome! We have found that East Coast and Jive are pretty much the same structurally... just mostly stylistic differences. Which would make sense as they both originated as Lindy Hop (I believe that Jive originated as ECS ... which originated as Lindy).
We appreciate you being here with us and your positivity!
Love it!!
Glad you like it!
I like this pattern, and am eager to ty it with my practice partner! Thanks for sharing it, and for breaking it down in such a comprehensible way. Next time I’m visiting family in The Woodlands, I’d love to have a lesson with you.
We’re glad you enjoy it! Let is know if you need help :-)
Great intermediate pattern I am going to practice with some of my dance partners!
We're so glad to hear that!
Oh I LOVE this move! This is my first viewing of you guys sharing ECS. Totally threw me at first because I'm so used to the smooth 2 Step and WCS. This was awesome! Thank you once more for expanding my repertoire!
We’re glad you enjoyed it. We do love Two Step and WCS... but ECS was my “first dance love” :-) Thank you, as always, for being awesome! ~ Anthony
@@countrydancex I find it so interesting that we can learn multiple dances but we all have our "first dance love". Stay safe! Looking forward to more videos.
Awesome!
Thanks!
LOVED it!
Love to her that!
Great
Thank you Very nice turn! Will try it. We teach East Coast to seniors.
We love that! Keep getting more people off the couch and onto the dance floor :-)
Hey
Just came across your UA-cam channel.
Ive always classed it a Ballroom jive,and it's one of my favourite dance styles.
Love the way you teach. Looking forward to watch more of your channel .

Hi there. Interestingly enough, it's actually the other way around. All swing dances (Jive included) originated here in the US beginning with Lindy Hop. ECS is derived from Lindy ... and Jive was derived from ECS. Therefore, Jive is kind of a copy of a copy haha.
. lol.
Everything is related.
All moves came from here,there. Over there,over here.
Thanks for replying. I'll be looking at more of your channel. You very good teachers..
Your instructions are very easy to follow
That makes us so happy to hear! Thank you for joining us here and for the love :-)
Love this! I think we could try it- we only know 1 pattern but we will give it a whirl. Thanks! I won’t text you unless we need you- but thanks for giving us that option! ❤️
We'd love to hear from you ... even if it's just to say hi!
Love all your videos. Glad to see East Coast Swing videos. Would love to see more of those & also is it possible to modify these to be modified for Single Time instead of Triple? Most of time that we go dancing, lots of Swing music is too fast for Triple time.
Hi there. We’re glad you enjoyed it.
Most anything in ECS can be modified back and forth from triple to single time or vice versa.
In triple time, a triple step is 2 beats of music. In single time, the slows are 2 beats. Whatever you were doing for those 2 beats in triple time, just do that in single time. You just have to do it in 1 weight change instead of 3.
Just found your channel while studying/practicing for my classes tomorrow! Do you still go to Whiskey Rivers on the weekends? Yall are very clear instructors! ❤
Nice dancing 😇
Thanks!
Wonderful thank you! Can you also tell us the title of the song you used?
So glad you enjoyed it! We license stock music for our videos, so they're not something you'd find somewhere
I guess I do have a question- what music does an East Coast swing go to? I have no idea
IMO, anything with an upbeat, from country to rock,,, since east coast swing came out of the lindy hop / big band music days of the 40s
@@owlcreek9010 thank you 😊
Yes, ECS can be danced to pretty much any genre of music as long as the beats per minute are in a good range (and the song is in 4/4 time signature)
@@countrydancex 4/4 time! Great to know! 👍💕💃thanks!
ECS dance is most pupular😂US and Other countries.
Is there another exit from the bow tie? I'm a short guy and not able to get my arm up high enough for some women to do the neck roll.
Hi. Of course, you could come out of this a number of ways… however, height issues are usually resolved by staying closer to your partner. Try that first!
What song is being played?
We use stock music (for licensing reasons)
I'm curious why the Swing Dance doesn't feature "swing" music. Is this a completely different kind of swing music than 1930s swing dancing?
