You demonstrated lead/follow switching in the “Trends For WCS in 2024” video.   I haven’t seen more videos on role switching here, so I hope this is okay to post, since it is complementary and not competitive with your site, but:

On his YouTube channel, Doug Silton recently posted 33 free instructional videos on WCS switches (within the same dance) and steals (“stealing in,” for three-for-all dances, birthday dances, etc.).  These videos were from several years ago, and were previously available for a charge (still are).

If you have access to the New York Times, they have a new article about WCS!

Affinity Swing is planning to do interviews in its livestream from The Open.

Update: Coverage was supposed to start many hours ago; don’t know what is holding it up.

Here is a new approach to a WCS competition livestream—by mixing in interviews, critiques, behind-the-scenes shots, and with anchors at a desk, like they do for sports events:

I was reminded he was on “Dancing With the Stars,” Season 2, in 2006 . . . and placed second! So not his first foray into dance, though it has been almost two decades. ;)

I am now also seeing Instagram and Threads mute certain songs on their WCS videos.

Meanwhile, here’s a fun kind of alteration: AI animations of WCS videos. This one was done with the dancers’ cooperation.
