Syllabus (Contents) for the "Beyond the Basics" West Coast Swing DVD
This Beyond the Basics West Coast Swing DVD Video covers all the basics taught in Sonny's "Six Week Series" and open group classes. This LIST is just the general contents on this DVD. This DVD Video consists of Technique, Tips, Styling, Unit System, Lead and Follow and more. (Below Syllabus subject to change without notice).
This DVD covers all the "Extended Basics" or that "uncomfortable
transition area" between the Beginning and Intermediate classes. These "Extended Basics" are the main way So. California dances its
West Coast Swing. All patterns are done in the "Slotted Movement" and Anchor Steps." Sonny's "French
Cross" with the contemporary "&3" timing
are highly centered upon.
Sonny's basics are one of the best Basics one can use for
West Coast Swing for a solid foundation in WCS... Good dance technique is ageless. They are up to date as well
as having many years of knowledge built right in. If you
can't be here for his regular classes or currently are in
his class and want to practice along with a video .... these
tapes are the next best thing to Sonny actually being there
with you.
These
DVD is also great for: Couples who tend to argue about how it's done. Have a friend or S/O who wants to start, but is a little
shy & wants to know something before taking a lesson.
Tend to forget the patterns while enrolled in Sonny's Class
or wish to create a detailed video notebook. Want to know how to do the opposite role of the dance ... correctly. Want to practice correctly at home and don't want to rely
on ones own memory. You learn better by watching. A Great dancing Gift !
