So my husband and I have to get up and do an "honor dance" at this trophy ball thing this weekend and we are going to do cha cha. I've been told that we will get about 50 seconds of music, so our plan is to do some steps we planned in advance and then just sort of improvise until the music stops if it hasn't already.

Here are the steps we have currently planned:

1. Side-to-side basic
2. Alternating under arm turns
3. Back spot turn
4. Shadow rocks
5. Under arm turn
6. Paseo
7. Uh.. Cross-body pullback
8. Shoulder check ?
9. ??? I really doubt the music will still be playing??

Basically if any of you smart dance people have any thoughts or feedback on this routine or can think of some way to make it better, I'd appreciate it!

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!

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 :)

I just joined this, and paid for a year.
I really like Brian B's casual vibe. And the general clarity of the lessons. I also like that in your videos, it shows the whole move first before its broken down. Because often, that's the only part that I need to see.

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.

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.

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.

What are bronze and silver cha cha? I've learned cha cha and it appears to be the same cha cha that I see Brian and Megan teach. I'd like to take in person lessons and see "bronze cha cha" and "silver cha cha" advertised. What is the difference and which one lines up with what Brian and Megan teach?

Hi, I’m grateful for the country swing videos. I have learned quite a bit. However, the country swing library seems to have far less videos that other dances. I’m interested to learn more country swing. Will there be more videos added to the country swing library?
