The Cross Body Lead is easy enough from the closed position, but do you, can you, or should you do it from the open position?

I had a great weekend in Huntsville AL teaching the "Rocket Westies" group. From group classes to technique classes on connection and styling and even a competitors class. I got to meet a lot of people who follow our videos. The highlight for me was meeting Mary. She saw WCS and wanted to learn so she looked up a class but then found us on youtube and learned the basics BEFORE she went to her first class. She thought it was a big deal meeting Brian B from youtube but it was a BIGGER deal to me to know that I'm helping people get involved in dance without ever meeting them in person. The magic was... in this case I got to. Thanks to Mary, the Rocket Westies and my host Jen.

Anyone else going to the Rio Grande Classic this weekend?  

Is there any reason you would not do something like an open break-to-back spot turn in NC2?  Thinking more of it from either a social dance or J&J point of view vs. closed syllabus.

We saw some of your lessons on YouTube and liked your approach and are trying the free trial period. We have a disco thing going on here in our town, so we're practicing hustle moves. On YouTube, you have, for example, a video called The Neck Wrap (Intermediate). I am not finding that on this site. How in sync with your YouTube videos is this site? Or are they just named differently. I hope that anything you have on YouTube will be findable here.

Hello SDO community!!

We wanna know...
When you first started dancing - what was your biggest struggle?? Can't wait to hear your answers! :-)

Just curious if the set your location option for the profile is still a work in progress.  I notice it only gives me city that are not in the U.S.

Mark and Debbie Jordan, we have been dancing about 5 years.  We live in a small town and since Covid there is no where for us to take lessons.  We have made the best friends dancing.  There is a group of us that go out every weekend dancing.  We need some new steps and continue to learn.  It is good for us.  

Hi, I am a beginner. The confusion for me is to know which way to turn, it can be so confusing!! Are there any tricks are than the leader be a good leader to know which way i should turn in passes, under arm passes, turns etc...It would be so helpful to have an idea if I should be turning clockwise or counter clockwise. Thanks
