Comprehensive and well taught starter step with throw-out, something I was not taught in my Basic WCS. Thanks alot, and the light tenor to the video makes it pleasing to watch and learn!

continued from ^^ie. a competiton where you start in a spotlight, usualy a competiton when couples come out individualy and dance a length of song and have the whole floor to themselves. A good way to see exaples of this is find Champion devision jack and Jills or strictly swings. They almost ALWAYS start out in closed position, and use this same starter step, or something EXTREMELY simmilar to what is shown above.
I urge you to see it in its true form/context it will make alot more sence.

I have just recently watched this Video, and have read all the comments posted thus far (April 8th 2008). I want to Clairify for all those that might watch this and read all the comments posted here.Yes, this *Does* look like East Coast Swing. However this is not East Coast Swing, this is the STARTER step for West Coast Swing. The only time ANYONE uses this is when you are STARTING the dance from closed position. If you look at any of the competitions that single out thier competetors ie.
