Description
In this West Coast Swing tutorial, we break down "The Million $ Move".
The one move that makes your WCS dance look effortlessly cool. Whether you're working on your West Coast Swing basics or leveling up your swing dance skills, the pivot is the million-dollar move every dancer needs to master.
What you'll learn:
👉 How to enter the pivot using a basic whip (counts 1–4)
👉 Solo pivot practice, rock forward, rock back, quarter and half turns
👉 How the follower creates their own energy (and why the leader must NOT pull)
👉 The leader's setup: hand placement and minimal power cues
👉 How to exit cleanly into a perfect anchor step
Common mistakes fixed:
👉 Pulling with the hand — the #1 pivot killer
👉 Shortening the space between partners (keep that "ice cream cone" shape!)
