A new WCS podcast, by Benji Schwimmer:

Hi,

You cover the samba whisk in your samba videos, but the version going viral now is more of a solo version, with a lot of hip action and arm movements.  Would love to see your take on it. :)

Would also love to see videos of any of you dancing with other pros, at your own competitions or anywhere. :) 

We’re being replaced:

That’s a real robot.

This one is reportedly an AI animation based on the original human lead dancer, wearing a motion capture suit:

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).
