•East Coast Swing - single step This dance basic consists of 6-counts or beats. 1)First (leads) guys step back onto their left foot for one count and then return to their right foot for the second count. (Follows) Ladies will do the same but start by stepping back onto their right foot for one count and then returning to their left foot for the second count. 2)Next, leads will step to their left putting their center of gravity over their left foot. Pulse on the left foot for two counts. Follows will do the same but they will pulse on their right foot for two counts. 3)Finally, leads will step to their right putting their center of gravity over their right foot. Pulse on the right foot for two counts. Follows will do the same but they will pulse on their left foot for two counts. 4)Repeat steps 1-5 To do this with a partner: 1)Leads place your right hand in the approximate center of the follows back. Follows drape your left arm along the top of the leads right arm. Follows place your left hand on the leads right shoulder. 2)Leads hold the follows right had in your left hand. Hold hands at around the follows waist line. This is a relaxed hand hold. 3) Knees should be slightly bent to facilitate bounce in the dance. This bounce will be a down bounce on each beat of the music.
