Agreed! So quality content. Perfect for dancers who analysis
I've seen that six count circle with a break everywhere in performances but I could never figure it out-I always assumed it was 8 count footwork. Thank you so much
Just gotta say, you are an excellent teacher and your editing/videography is really helpful for illustrating the points! Thanks a lot!
Thank you brooks for not skipping out on triple steps. I find that many leaders don’t do triples but expect their followers to do them.

We just filmed the next one. Now I need to edit it ;)
I've learned the circle in 8 time but I'd never figured out it was possible in 6 times
Every summer, a local jazz band plays in the park and they host swing dance parties every weekend. I can't wait to use this stuff there! (I also love your shirt and want to know where you sourced it).

Thanks! He's pretty cool, I guess 😘 (I lie, he's pretty DANG cool)
Great video! A dumb question: it seems that you tuck turn at the second triple step in the 6 count while you turn on the first triple step in a side pass. Is that a strict thing?
Whats the difference to jive?
Is 6 count basic or 8 count? Can you switch from 6 count to 8 count and vise versa? Is a swing out in 6 count possible?

Both 6 and 8 are basic. Switching between is possible and happens constantly. The swingout is possible in 6 but is done infrequently.

@@LauraGlaessgreat video. Simple, efficient, which gives the mood of standing up and dancing ! I want to watch all your videos ! Merci, bravo. Just one question please : what is « swing out » ?
None of swing is in 6 counts. Why use a six count for dancing?
