Here's my problem with tandem charleston intros. First, I can lead them, but if my partner doesn't get that they need to fill the connection, forget about it. I can do the same move I described on the first page with various follows, but some don't get it. I will lead those first 6 counts as...

I agree with what others have been saying. Just say no. Protect yourself from the potential abuse.

that was good stuff

I think the answer is on yehoodi

good to hear

I would add Denver, but I'm biased

yeah, i'll second that.

Yes, it's a 10 count move. Lead's footwork: Rock step (LR), Kick step (L), Kick step (R), Kick step (L), Kick step (R). So, the lead is now ready to use the left foot. Follow's footwork: Rock step (RL), Kick step (R), Kick step (L), run run (RL), kick step (R). So, now the follow is synchronized...

Well, that is definitely something that comes with experience. That was basically my answer to this woman. However, she persisted with her questions. Maybe there isn't that perfect answer that she is looking for. Your response is entirely valid, but I doubt this woman would go for it.

loop up Dez DiPaulo. He co-runs the Reno Dance Sensation Event. Salsa, swing comp. I think he lives in Arizona.

is it similar to Ceroc?

Ok. Easy answer, but had difficulty applying to this past Friday. I had a woman asking me "how do I know when to triple, how do I know to step, step, how do I know if it's a 6 or 8 count." This resulted in great frustration. I couldn't provide an answer that satisfied her. Neither did I want to...

It's hard when follows ask me. It's not as if we or them can always start counting patterns and assume when they're going to end. If they're sensitive to the connection, they should be able to sense the speed up or speed down and be able to be on the correct foot when the pattern is through.

Generally speaking, their are 6 ct and 8 ct patterns. If I want to extend the pattern, I will slow it down, so the follow will do a walk, walk somewhere. If I want to speed it up, I'll lead faster, thus making her triple step. It's all about proper leading.

The best Charleston intro I have learned came from Jason and Sylvia. The lead starts with a tuck turn (rock step, tuck her in, turn her out). Footwork for both lead and follow after the rock step is kick step, kick step. On the second kick step the follow gathers her weight under her, while the...
