Stretch rules the dance
In West Coast Swing, stretch is essential, yet elusive:
Everyone talks about how important elasticity is in West Coast Swing... at EVERY level.
You might think you are stretching on your anchors, but it's hard to tell what's in your blindspot.
And it's rare to actually get details about HOW to create that smooth, gooey stretch and time it properly, especially with less-skilled partners.
Give us a week to get breakthroughs in your
...for free.
You might be shocked at how much we can improve your connection - online.
(it's kind of our superpower)
We'll guide you through a strategically structured series of 37+ progressive drills that build your momentum and elasticity skills, step by step.
So you can create smoother anchors, more efficient direction changes, and better connection - even when your partner doesn't have perfect technique.
And this isn't just a collection of videos.
We're coaching you through it all week.
You'll receive daily practice instructions, and feedback on your homework from Myles & Tessa in our dedicated Challenge Facebook group.
Plus... a VIP upgrade to add more style to your anchors...
Nov 6-14 only.
No schedule.
No guessing.
No partner required.

Partners enjoy dancing with you more
because you feel better
Social dancers who:
Competitors who:
What you've been doing hasn't been working as well as it should because there are missing pieces to the puzzle.

This was honestly one of the best things I've ever done for my dancing.
Tonight during group class a leader told me they loved my connection. In social dancing, I got led in more complicated patterns because many leaders were feeling more connection from me. I was able to adjust better to everyone tonight through this experience.
Thank you so much to Myles and Tessa for this opportunity. It has greatly improved my dancing in only 8 days.
My brain is still exploding from all the information. Always embrace the dance when things get hard and you feel like your mind is going to explode. Something positive is most likely about to change in your dancing.

These are the same elasticity training concepts we use with dancers in the Swing Literacy training system.
You can develop these skills through solo training - then bring them into your partnership dancing.
Instead of just telling you what good connection should feel like, we'll show you how to develop the skills that create it.
And the transformation can happen surprisingly fast.
Our past Challenges have seen over 20,000 dancers of all levels from 38 countries see massive differences in their dancing, in just ONE WEEK - all online
And for many of them, this is the missing piece that finally makes their dancing feel effortless.

You should 100% sign up for the challenge! In addition to a bunch of really fantastic technical content, you can also get individual feedback on your homework videos and learn a ton from reading all the feedback to other people who submit their homework videos in the Facebook group!
Elasticity was one of the most important skills that I had been totally missing for my first several years of WCS (of course I had heard teachers talk about stretch all the time, but I never understood what that actually meant or how to do it), and once I learned it, it suddenly opened up my dancing and allowed me to have way more fun dances with everyone! I'm excited to get to further refine and upgrade my elasticity skills during this challenge!

This is my first time trying your methods and I am so impressed. I also can’t thank you enough for the growth mindset. I struggle with thinking I’m not good enough and this made a huge difference if wanting to just keep trying even if I’m "training ugly"!

Social dancing last night when I asked for feedback partners said my connection felt solid, elastic and not too heavy. That’s a win!
Watching the video, I am happy with my elasticity progress and humbled by how much further I have to go. I have to remind myself that it’s a journey and I am making good progress for just over a year’s experience.

After this seven awesome super Challenge days, I can't but give you my gratitude.
You are not only top professionals but splendid teachers. Your detailed tips, instructions and also encouragement are undoubtedly great virtues of you both.
Happy to be so fortunate to have this chance to learn from you.
Congratulations and THANK YOU.

How much time will it take?
Each daily video is less than 15 minutes. Then practicing your daily challenge will take about another 15 minutes, which you can spread out throughout your day.
I'm busy the week of Nov 6-14. Can I do it later?
Sorry, no. This is a free pop-up Challenge we only offer once or twice a year, so take advantage of it as much as you can - it'll be worth it!
What level is this for?
Because elasticity is a fundamental skill, it applies to all levels. We will show you how to adjust the difficulty level of each drill.
This Challenge is not going to teach you how to dance West Coast Swing - it's aimed at dancers who are already familiar with their basic patterns.
Advanced dancers will enjoy nerding out with the detailed analysis, the bonus challenges and the optional Stretch Styling Lab upgrade.
Do I need a partner?
Not for the daily Challenge drills. (You'll be surprised how much progress we can help you make solo!) But you will definitely want to try them out on a partner as soon as you have access to one, even just social dancing! If you opt-in for the upgrade, there are coaching calls you can bring a partner to.
When are the classes?
There are no classes: Each day for 6 days, you will receive an email with the drills for that day for you to practice. In the Challenge Facebook group, we will be providing daily free interactive feedback and coaching to help you maximize your results and get to the finish line! If you upgrade to the Stretch Styling Lab, you will get a schedule of live trainings you can attend.
Do I have to be on Facebook?
You could easily use Instagram instead for all your Challenge posts! But all of the coaching and community is going to be in the Facebook group. You'll want to be on Facebook for this special week.
