As I continue practicing, when does it become easier to put the moves to music? Right now that's my biggest struggle, I cannot dance the steps. And I've tried asking several instructors and I'm being told you just dance what your partner is dancing too but sometimes the men aren't moving in a way that syncs up with the song. I'm finding it hard to believe that the dance had absolutely no structure. My brain can't comprehend blowing caution to the wind in any dance style outside of a freestyle. And also are there any songs you can recommend they are easiest to practice with? Thank you in advance

Missing videos in West Coast swing primary and secondary syllabus. The primary syllabus had 17 videos and is now down to ten and what was in the secondary syllabus is different. What is now shown is quite different from what was previously shown and what is in the syllabus PDF. Is there anywhere I can easily find the previous playlists. Thanks.

I saw a video, 3 WCS ‘Flashy’ moves that are actually Easy, on YouTube but i cant find it on the website. Are all videos that may be on YouTube also on the website?

Brian, I would like to sign up for the fall cruise with my girlfriend but she doesn't know if she will be retired then and could go. What is the cancellation policy? What are the cruise dares? Which cruise line? What is the embarking port in Florida? I live at the Villages in Florida. scott roberts

Hello,

I’m running into an issue with playlists and wanted to check if this is expected behavior or possibly a bug.

I created a playlist and successfully added a video to it. The video shows up in the playlist as expected. However, when I try to play the video from within the playlist, it will not start. I click “Start Watching,” the video enlarges, but it does not play, and I also see a lock icon in the playlist view.

What’s confusing is that the exact same video plays perfectly when I access it through Favorites.

So to summarize:

Video plays normally from Favorites
Same video does not play from within a Playlist
A lock icon appears in the playlist view even though I clearly have access to the video

Am I using playlists incorrectly, or is this a known issue?

My husband now needs custom orthopedic insoles for arthritis. Can you recommend some brands that have removable insoles that we can try?

Doing the 2 step, how do you define an inside turn vs an outside turn. I’ve been taught that an inside turn is when the follower turns toward the inside of the dance floor. Your videos seem to show the opposite.

Thanks

Do you have any suggested playlist (music) for the various dance types? Bachata, ChaCha, Mambo, etc

I first became interested in your web site when I saw the following video on youtube: "The Complete Guide to: Beginner West Coast Swing". I thought it was an excellent video!! Now that I've purchased your "Annual Membership", I'm wondering if this particular video is available on the website. I tried typing it in the search field but could not find it.
