Newbie Introduction. Not new to dancing, but to the app and this group; and I have LOTS of questions: is there an FAQ section anywhere? And regarding the community forum, are there subgroups, so that can only focus on CW couple dancing and not have to wade through the myriad of other, irrelevant-to-me styles!
Oh, and I’m “Jumpsuit” Jamey Hall, from Fayetteville, AR., and have been dancing and teaching traditional Texas 2-Step for 40 years. Thanks!

I comfortably dance two step to songs of a certain bpm (170 i think). But many songs are faster. How do you handle that. I can recognize waltz, sometimes I'll switch to shuffle. Anything else?

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.

I met one of our members while out dancing in Nashville TN. He had all of his 2-step patterns from our syllabus written on a note card. How cool is that? -B

I just had my first competition (newcomer wcs, night club, and two step). I loved it and really want to try to advance quickly. How often per week should I be practicing? Any tips for practicing on my own? I take lessons with a pro once per week, but am having trouble finding a partner to practice with.

Is there a way to search the many written articles (with links) after we sign into WCS/Social Dance Online? I've used links to articles but I'm not logged in when I read them so within that article when I click on a link to another article or a video I have to log back in. When I do I've lost the article/video and I end up with many other tabs that I'm showing as being logged in. I can search for the videos while I'm logged in but I can't find a way to search for your written articles.
Thanks for helping me out in advance.

Hi, I have a question about Fred Astaire moves. First of all, I must say that I am very impressed by your videos. They are very helpful in our journey learning to dance. My partner and I have just recently started to learn West Coast swing. I have got the impression that it is a dance that allows you to incorporate your own made up steps and turns. I just wondered if you have thought about incorporating moves from old YouTube videos of Fred Astaire. If you watch his video where he dances to the song Shorty George there’s a lot of cool moves (and it is swing) it’s beautiful to watch. what are your thoughts about incorporating some of those moves into the West Coast swing dance? Is it possible at all?

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.
