Thanks Paul! Connection is key with any hand hold (and your partner), so I would look into that first! We have several videos on that!We have quite a few videos with different hand holds too, and how to not look stiff when you're dancing. Are those what you're looking for? Or something else?

Hey Michael Daly! You can use a followers inside or outside turn to get back to closed. As the leader, the easiest way to get to closed, in my opinion, is to use a J-hook action and pick up the back as the follower comes towards you. Hope that helps!!

Awesome! Glad it gave you some options...Let us know if you have any questions about the suggestions!

Hey Paul Frank!The starter step can definitely be tricky. Try thinking of the second triple, not as a rock step but as more of a second triple in place (aka your anchor step) to allow your partner to connect to your right hand on their shoulder blade. That connection/stretch is key to lead whatever you want to do out of the anchor step. Check out this video about creating the stretch. There are a few other videos about mastering the anchor step too! Hope this helps!

Hey Fred Yankowski - so sorry about that! I'm not super tech saavy, but perhaps someone from the community will have some insight. I'll see what I can find out!

Hey Wendy Robinson - I don't think we have a video for Sweetheart Walks for Rumba. The Cradle circle is similar...we'll see if we can add it to the mix!

It’s definitely a fun move! Let us know if you have any questions 😊

Thomas Zupan - I think we might have taught something like a Tunnel in one of our Intermediate Jitterbug videos. I'll see if we can add it to the list for ECS 😀

Ian Farrow - we have a few videos that talk about hand holds as they relate to some dance styles, but not super in depth. We have a few body isolation videos, if you type those in the search bar (in our live videos) and if you search for styling or connection, you should find some videos that talk about different hand holds. Hope that helps!!

Liner - hey there! Unfortunately we had some mic issues during our live videos, but we finally figured out (of course after this video) 😜I'll see if we can redo the video, but we have a lot of videos in the docket! 😮We do have newer separate videos for how to be better leaders and followers, which should have similar info to the live video. They are labeled - How to be a Good Leader/Follower. I've attached the leader video below.
