    LOVE your tutorials. Clear, fluid, stylish, articulate, eloquent. You break it down in a way I've not seen = superb. Video and audio quality 100% and your camera operator deserves a gold medal too. THANK YOU. ( I'm not even a WCS dancer - but I might be soon....)

    Pleasure meeting Anthony, Rose and Clarissa at Guitars and Cadillacs Fort Worth for your recent 2021 boot camp. It was a great learning experience. If you as a student haven't checked out X Dance University yet, give it a look. Tremendous teaching tool at a very reasonable price!

    Great detail and quality instruction! Your “section” method makes more sense to me. It simplifies everything. Also, we have been taught that the leader walks back in count 1 maybe even into count 2 but here I noticed the leader is barely moving back and off to the side. This not only looks better and the follower has less distance to travel. But where was the Stalker whip? LOL.

    So glad you enjoyed it! Stepping back on one is perfectly valid. Ultimately, there is no right or wrong… only better or worse (and those two words are based solely in opinion). We dance the stalker whip often, but if we were to try to include all of the whip variations in one video, we’d still be filming this one haha

    Another nice beautiful dance steps & turns. You both are very professional at that. I don't think anyone can really compare too you guys steps. The lady that danced last week she was very awesome with her dance moves.Are there certain names for each dances that are performed weekly?🤗

    You’re sweet! Adia is amazing too. When you ask about names for each dance, did you mean like the line dance from last week? If so, yes each dance typically has a name associated with it. If you’re talking about the partner dances like this video, then yes too. Our videos will generally list the dance style in the title. This is West Coast Swing

    i had a hard time executing a J hook in away that gave my partner the right clue to my intentions. I was frustrated because she wouldn't turn on count 4 no matter how intentional i was with the J hook. i learned that if just before executing the J hook i could rotate my hand just a few degrees clockwise like a prep, and then j hook...my partners suddenly started responding how i intended. now I'm able to whip even the least experienced follower and it's pretty effortless.

    Time signatures, most confusing. Music start on count (beat) what the ear hears??

    Basically, in WCS, everything is done in increments of 2 beats of music. There is a “1 count” every odd count (down beat)
