Learn approx. 100 ways to do a Whip!!
Join us to learn one of the most important moves in the West Coast Swing family—the whip!
The West Coast Swing Whip is the gold-standard move by which all dancers are measured. The perfect phrasing of the whip makes it one of the most used and embellished moves. Understanding how to lead/follow a perfect whip and how to redesign it is the difference between the beginner and the advanced dancer. Perhaps one of the best things about the Whip is that it can morphed and augmented in so many different ways that there are literally hundreds of different combinations. These workshops will expose you to many of those possibilities. You'll get to choose which Whips you like.
This series of Whip workshops is specifically designed for the Advanced Beginner West Coast Swing Dancer. All you need to know is your basic 6-count patterns and a basic Whip. However, this workshop is also detailed enough to keep intermediate dancers growing. This information will help you rise to our intermediate/advanced weekly classes.After these workshops, you'll always look to the whip to improve your dance. The whip is the friend of every advanced dancer - it's time for you to become friends with as many whips as possible!
