Bless you delightfuldance. . .
I have a group of dancers, Ball room dancers with 1 or more years of experience dancing in an active competitive studio, that are learning WCS as a group class.
I always teach the side pass befor the sugar push, My first pattern I teach is the 8 count basket, then the whip, then side pass, then sugar push. I also teach the follow first and make everybody understand each part then the lead. They are complaining up a storm!! But the class is getting larger each week and they are slowly becoming better dancers all around and they are having fun in the WCS. I am putting a throw out and pick up in soon as they all dance ECS allready.
