WCS: Monkey Swing
In this lesson, Anthony and Rose break down a super fun and unique West Coast Swing pattern that dancers sometimes call “The Monkey Swing.” And yes, they really didn’t know that’s what it was called at first—it just kinda looked like a monkey swing, so they went with it. This pattern starts off with a wrap and redirect, includes a behind-the-back hand switch (with a cool “break the wrist” move), and ends with a stylish free spin out. It’s a great mix of technique and momentum, and if you’re already comfortable with the basics of West Coast Swing, this one adds a playful and impressive element to your social dancing. You’ll learn: How to manage hand connections through redirection How to use leverage and elasticity for a controlled catch and release The role of frame and spacing in keeping the whole thing smooth And how to adapt your footwork based on your partner’s movement It’s got a little sass, a little stretch, and a lot of style. So if you’re ready to level up your West Coast Swing and impress your dance partners with something that’s just plain cool, this one’s for you.
