Andrew thanks for asking! One of the community tab goals, is for all of us to chime in when we see something that might help another fellow dancer. Your comment makes total sense 🙂 Sometimes if the person isn’t tagged, they don’t always see it.

Yes! Totally agree, Jami ! I love my 90s country!!

Hey there Vince Gandolfo! There are definitely some correlations between Shag and WCS. We unfortunately don’t plan on adding Shag to our website because none of us have really learned/taught it in our area. It might make its way to the site in the future, but it’s definitely a fun dance to watch!

Love it! What’s your go-to dance with that genre, Carroll ?!

Thanks Sara Cooper! Make sure to check out some tips to improve those basics and beyond!

Hey there Connie Muther!Good point...sorry about that. We typically use a curving basic to get into the correct alignment for the Double Corte. That's the easiest way we've found to get into the diagonal center postition. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hey Dennis!

I’m glad you and your wife are dancing together. It’s great for her to know her own footwork, but totally understand that anticipating the move is not good.

Have you tried any connection drills? Check out this video…it might help! Let me know if it does ☺️

Vicki Carrington - I’ll try to go back and find the video for you…thanks for your patience!

Great question Melinda !!!

For all of our turns you want to be over the ball of the foot, and definitely not the heel. If you start to turn on your heels, your weight will not be balanced and you’ll feel very off balanced. The further your heel is off the ground, the less grounded you are.

The further you take the heel off the ground, the more room to fall there is. I’d recommend hovering or staying close to the floor with the rest of your foot.

If the pros are lifting their heel, most likely they’ve had ballet training and are very comfy turning on their own or know how to shift their weight to adjust.

Hope that helps!!

Melinda - A think we figured out what happened!!!

I had 2 email addresses to log in and we deleted one of them (to be less confusing) in the process…any of the comments from that email address disappeared 😩

I’m working to go back through and commenting on everything again. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience!
