Description
Struggling with your West Coast Swing technique?
These are the 5 beginner mistakes we see most often, and exactly how to fix them. In this video, Brian and Megan break down real technique gaps by comparing beginner Jack & Jill dancers to all-star WCS competitors, so you know exactly what to focus on next.
You'll learn how to fix your timing (including the half-half-whole triple step), stop making your leader do all the work as a follower, build cleaner connection before the anchor step, clean up messy or "wiggly" footwork with proper tracking, and simplify your patterns so your dancing reads as more advanced, not less.
Whether you're new to West Coast Swing or working on cleaning up your basics, these tips will help you dance smoother, look more connected, and feel more confident on the social floor.
