I’ve enjoyed WCS for about 15 years. I met my wife 4 years ago and have been trying to teach her WCS with the help of your videos. My problem has been the common one; I.e. as soon as she thinks she knows which pattern I’m leading, she completes the pattern without any other leads. Any suggestions?

I just contributed $100.00 bucks to your 100 mile run for your sister. U are obviously such a good person and your instruction with M. Megan is the best in the US. thx for all you do. scott roberts
Hi, another question.
Is there a term for the times when a dance couple is not physically touching?
For example, are they said to drop their connection, or to disconnect/be disconnected? Then are they said to reconnect or reestablish connection?
Thank you :)
Hello! Loving the course, and thank you for all the outstanding work the team has put into this!
I just have a question about a move I have often seen the WCS pros do. It’s when the leader extends a hand, palm side out, and the follower takes the hand and continues the pattern.
I hadn’t come across it on the site, and was wondering what it’s called, and when to use it. *Update: I did see examples of the move in your “Carwash with Salsa” and “Twisted Up” and “Advanced Reverse Whips Variations” videos, and it was referred to as “asking for” a hand.
Thank you :)
By the way, have you all seen this show the pros put on at Liberty Swing? It was epic!

Brian,
Howdy from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania! Pittsburgh has a group called 412Step that does weekly line dances and holds some partner dancing (mainly country 2 step, country waltz, and WCS). Do you have any recommendations for a first-time cowboy dance boot purchase? I already own a pair of practice and smooth/ballroom shoes. I have all this horsepower and room to gallop: I might as well look the part! 🤠
Dancingly,

Hello Everyone…
I’m so grateful to find this community…and these videos! I’m a ParaDancer…and have been dancing for about a year. My husband is able-bodied…so we are adapting all of these styles. We have our first competition in August…and you have no idea how helpful your videos are in learning what we are trying to emulate!! Thank You!!💃🕺🏽👩🏼🦽➡️
Burning question: please clarify for me? I always thought as a follower, i should learn to lead, and thats where I stopped, because I thought Id have to learn alll the stuff backwards…. Am I daft? Cant I just lead a leader if he/she is in on it? Like i take the wheel, and they follow me but we just keep in same steps…? Help i know this probably is a very dumb question.
I'm loving Country Swing, but it seems to be all turn patterns and tricks. What do you do between the turn patterns to rest or just groove? East Coast Swing? Thanks.
Danced many years ago. Trying to learn again how to dance and connect positively with a partner on the dance floor. Hoping this site will help me resurrect a bit of muscle memory and learn again to enjoy dancing.
WCS seems to be more popular than ECS. That's my impression from your site as you teach more WCS steps. May I know why WCS is more popular? I recently learned and now dance ECS and I like it and the dance music. From where I live (Philippines), folks neither dance WCS nor ECS but they appreciate ECS type of music (mostly rockn'roll), and so dance to the music no matter how. PS. would love if you can provide ECS patterns in your 'move of the week'. thnx.
