ECS: 7 Basic Steps
East Coast Swing is one of the most useful social dances out there—whether the band’s playing country, blues, pop, or good old rock’n’roll, this is your go-to groove. In this video, Anthony and Rose walk you through a full East Coast Swing blueprint that covers way more than just the basics. You’ll learn how the entire dance breaks down into three sections (each two beats of music), and why every move you do—turns, wraps, hammerlocks—should start and finish within a single section. This one concept fixes so many common dance problems, especially if you’ve ever struggled with double turns or staying in sync. They cover a complete library of fun moves, including inside and outside turns, alternating underarm turns, the wrap/cradle, hammerlock, and even a “bonus feature” they jokingly call Anthony’s Awesome East Coast Swing Turning Thing. (Yep, that’s the name.) It’s like a full year of swing lessons packed into one easy-to-follow video, with everything demonstrated clearly and explained in plain language. If you’ve danced this before, this will give you a whole new way to look at it. If you haven’t, you’re about to skip a ton of frustration.
