WCS: Side Passes
This lesson is all about demystifying one of the most important and most-used concepts in West Coast Swing: the side pass. If you’ve ever felt like West Coast Swing seemed complicated or overwhelming, this video is going to be a huge relief. Anthony and Rose break down what side passes are, why they matter, and how learning one simple thing can open the door to dozens of variations. You’ll start by learning a classic left-side pass, then explore how that same basic structure can be tweaked into underarm passes, right-side passes, hand switches, leader turns, and more. Rose’s footwork doesn’t change—just the presentation does. And that’s the whole point: West Coast Swing isn’t about memorizing 500 moves, it’s about understanding a few core ideas and learning how to play with them. They also explain the slot, how to move around each other, and why teaching sugar pushes first is… let’s say, not their favorite thing. If you’ve ever thought “I just don’t get this dance,” this class will flip that switch for you. Whether you’re brand new or need to clean up your basics, this is the foundational West Coast Swing lesson you didn’t know you needed.
