Andrew and Amanda how awesome! That description of what you'd like to look like is the best I've ever heard!

As far as making your practices efficient...check out this video below with some helpful hints.

I would incorporate some solo drills for each of you and then getting together and working on what each of you were working on separately. I wouldn't try and do too many styles in each practice but maybe choose one or two. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Paul F. That’s so fun! Unfortunately we don’t have specific Blues dance tutorials. It’s not done a lot in our area and I taught it a long time in Texas but haven’t touched it since. So sorry!

Bryant R. we do lots of workshops and events around the area and the US. We also run a WSDC event in Louisville in January (Derby City Swing) that Brian and Megan teach at here in our home town! We were just in Nashville Labor Day weekend teaching at Nashville Dance Fest! So fun!

Rhino great observation! For the leader, it might feel similar, for the follower it’s quite different.

In the rotating box, the bodies stays square to each other as you both rotate. In the CBL, the leader opens their left side to allow the follower to cross and the follower has forward walking steps to get to the other side of the leader. Hope that helps!
