Description
Master the feeling that makes West Coast Swing effortless: a consistent anchor and elastic connection. This course shows you exactly where weight should settle on counts five and six so the anchor becomes automatic. You will learn how micro-compression and extension change the quality of a sugar push without extra force. Drills isolate forearm tone, core engagement, and relaxed shoulders to prevent yanking or collapsing. Leaders practice signaling intent early with body language that reads before the hand does. Followers learn to maintain their own balance so stretch lives in the partnership, not in one person’s grip. We demonstrate anchor variations for different slot lengths and tempos so the timing stays clean. Metronome tracks and count tracks teach you to hear elasticity in the music and match it in your body. Common mistakes like stepping under yourself or anchoring on the wrong edge are corrected on camera. A weekly practice plan helps you convert concepts into muscle memory in short sessions. By the end, your basics feel lighter, the slot breathes, and partners sense clarity from the first touch. You will leave with repeatable anchor habits that upgrade every other pattern you learn.
