But in order to clarify what they are looking for, we ask them, "Is it that you want more variations, syncopations, and things to add to your WCS? Or that you feel like you're just marching through patterns and don't feel like you're really dancing yet?" If you are looking for variations and advanced things to add, these styling videos are perfect for you. There is no overlapping content between videos. We recommend starting with Beginners (which refers to Beginner styling, not Beginner WCS). But if you feel like you're just marching through patterns and don't feel like you're really dancing yet, what you're hunting for is called "character of dance", not styling. It can be acquired through training in the fundamental movement skills of WCS. This is what we offer in our Swing Literacy Dancer Development Program.

Long Curved Hem T-Shirt](https://www.swingliteracy.com/product/whats-that-dance-mens-curved-hem-t-shirt-2/) - Why did we make this shirt? Who really knows how many spectators have seen West Coast Swing being danced out in the wild, and just brushed it off as something to WATCH, not something they could actually DO? We often see video and images of studios or clubs dancing demonstrations in public wearing their studio or club shirt, but this can backfire: it *could* make you appear to be exclusive and unapproachable. So we made this shirt as an alternative to help you draw more inquiries and hopefully attract more dancers to your scene! While you are dancing, most observers will see your back before your front. So the back caption literally prompts observers to ask themselves about the kind of dance they are witnessing... ...then, as you turn, they can see the answer to their question on your front. As they get closer, they see the invitation "Ask me about" at the top, so they feel welcomed to approach you.

In the total skill sequence of Read-Plan-Do, Strategies represent the "Read" phase. They are the decision-making skills that help you decide which tactics to employ. Of course, just because you are informed about the Strategies and the Tactics involved, doesn't mean that's all you need - [DD 5.3 Pattern Tactics: Organizing](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-5-3-pattern-tactics-organizing/) - In order to organize and store patterns and styling, let’s classify them so it’s easier to see the relationship between them and the techniques they share. Here's a tool we use with our students to help them set up a "filing system" in their brains for organizing pattern content. Stickman MindMap Imagine the - [DD 6.4 Community Influence](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-6-4-community-influence/) - When you first started the Theory Module, you learned the difference between learning how to dance and learning how to learn how to dance. Since then, you have learned a lot about how skills are developed progressively, how you can reorganize and prioritize your learning, and you developed some new training habits to climb - [DD 4.2 Essential Music Theory](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-4-2-essential-music-theory/) - Why you need this skill: Dancers do not need to know much music theory in order to enjoy themselves. But they can reap quite a bit of satisfaction from studying just an introductory level of music theory. For example, by learning about time signatures, you can get better feel for Swung/Shuffle rhythm. By studying - [DD 1.1 Preparing your Growth Mindset](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-1-1-preparing-your-growth-mindset/) - West Coast Swing dancing is far more than a physical activity: it's an art, a science, a hobby, a passion, a social activity, a conversation, a puzzle, a craft, and a journey. In order to prepare for your journey in renovating and elevating your dance, we're going to tackle the soft skills first - - [DD 4.3 Music Tactics](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-4-3-music-tactics/) - Part 3: Music Tactics Why you need these skills: Remember Tactics describe what to do and when. Once you understand how the 2-beat cycle works in rhythm, and can implement it in your body, you're ready to experiment with varying those rhythms. We're going to take the techniques and theory you just learned, - [DD 4.1 Music Techniques](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-4-1-music-techniques/) - Part 1: Music Techniques This Unit is organized into 4 Lessons: Part 1: Music Techniques.

At this point, if you - [3.6 Music Skills](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-6-music-skills/) - Musicality is not a simple topic: it is a big book with many chapters. Music study has two sides: how to hear and understand music, and how to express music through movement. It is necessary to study some chapters concurrently in the beginning, because it is critical to integrate personal and partnership movement skills - [3.7 Music: Swing Rhythm](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-7-music-swing-rhythm/) - This lesson is a sample from the Dancer Development Program. It shows the depth we go into in the topics of Music Skills, which the same treatment we give to Patterns & Styling Skills and Social Dancing Skills. We recently expanded this lesson in the DDP, and decided it was too important to leave out - [3.3 Strategies](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-3-strategies/) - Strategies answer the question, "what is the end goal?" or "what are you trying to create?". In the total skill sequence of Read-Plan-Do, Strategies represent the "Read" phase. They are the decision-making skills that help you decide which tactics to employ. Being able to read a follower's spinning body flight is required in order - [3.2 Tactics](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-2-tactics/) - Tactics: A closer look Let's take a moment to get more detailed about our definition of Tactics. Tactics answer the question, "what to do, when" or "what for". This is where patterns and styling elements fit in to the Skills of WCS. In the total skill sequence of Read-Plan-Do, Tactics represent the Planning phase, while - [3.1.5 Partnership: Momentum Part 1](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-1-5-partnership-momentum-part-1/) - Start with this short pre-learning questionnaire Before diving into this lesson, we encourage you to consider what you already know about Connection and reflect on where you might have missing skills, confusion or conflict, or curiosities.

Here are a few more ways to identify Tactics: Tactics are the Lego pieces; the task cues: “Step back on count 1” Imagery is a tactic, not a technique: “Be like a rubber band” Sometimes Tactics are just keywords to summarize a package - [1.5 Core Assumptions](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/coreassumptions/) - Every activity in life has some basic principles we need to understand in order to play: If you don’t eat or drink, your body suffers You can’t breathe underwater You don’t use your hands in soccer If you let go of the steering wheel, you can’t turn the car The bike won’t slow down unless - [1.4 Progressive Skill Development](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/progressiveskilldevelopment/) - As teachers, we use analogies constantly to get people from all walks of life to relate to a seemingly foreign physical skill. During this course, we will relate to swimming, driving, walking, reading, cooking, conversations, etc. Be prepared to use your imagination. As you teach, start to collect your own repertoire of analogies or - [1.3 Bloom's Taxonomy](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/bloomstaxonomy/) - Bloom's taxonomy refers to a classification of the different learning objectives that teachers set for students. The idea is that learning happens in stages. Learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels. This directly applies to how and when students learn dance skills. In the - [1.2 The Learning Process](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/1-2-experiential-learning/) - This first lesson might seem a touch "academic" to you, but we're not here to waste your time on anything you don't need. We have taken decades of research on teaching and learning, curated it, applied it to West Coast Swing, and condensed it to just the essentials for you here. There are several models - [1.1 Setting the Stage](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/settingthestage/) - Being a great dance teacher is about more than just being and encouraging role model who demonstrates patterns and counts to 8. It's a recipe with 6 major ingredients and if any these are missing, it diminishes how effective a teacher can be, no matter how much experience they have or how passionate they - [DD 3.3 Strategies](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-3-strategies-d/) - Strategies answer the question, "what is the end goal?" or "what are you trying to create?".

Examples of Strategies: Being able to read a - [DD 3.1.6 Partnership: Steering Part 2](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-1-6-partnership-steering-part-2/) - Part 2: Refining Steering Try This There is a difference between counterbalance (counterweight) and counterpressure. Without a partner, you can feel this difference: Link your fingers and slowly uncurl them, trying to keep the fingers touching each other. This is counterpressure. There is not a lot of countered force. Start by pulling your - [DD 3.1.6 Partnership: Steering Part 1](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/dd-3-1-6-partnership-steering-part-1/) - In these next 2 lessons, we're going to zoom in on the Steering mechanics as they apply to West Coast Swing.

Many elements and skills have multiple names, while others are mislabeled or too vague. All of this causes confusion for your students. Throughout this Program, we are intentionally specific about the language we use to describe technical skills. Our vocabulary has been - [6.4 Communication and Marketing](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/6-4-communication-and-marketing/) - This is a deep topic that we plan to expand on and offer separately in the future. In the meantime, here are some best practices that teacher should be well-versed in in order to be a responsible service provider and community contributor. Communication It is a shame, no, a crime when beautiful studios with amazing - [3.1.4 Personal: Rhythm & Groove](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-4-rhythm-groove/) - Why students need this FMS: Basic Rhythm & Groove skills enable dancers to match their movement to music, and dance to the standard rhythms of West Coast Swing. Incorrect technique leads to dancers being off time, disconnected from the music, and looking and feeling stiff and robotic. Rhythm and groove are personal movement skills, - [3.1.3 Personal: Turning](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/3-3-turning/) - Why students need this FMS: Turning is not a normal human activity, therefore it needs to be taught and practiced.

A Code of Ethics makes sure that everyone is playing by an agreed - [4.2 Sequencing for Learning](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/4-2-sequencing-for-learning/) - As you have learned by now, it is not only the technical content that students need in order to be successful at their tactics and strategies, but also the correct sequencing of these skills. The importance of a warmup All athletes prepare their bodies for the sport they are about to play. Dancing is no - [5.4 Strategies for Teaching](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-4-strategies-for-teaching/) - .Strategies answer the question “what to create” or “how to approach”.

In all situations, it is my - [5.7 Private Lessons](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-7-private-lessons/) - Private coaching techniques are different from teaching a group class. In a group class, you are the entertainment. In a private lesson, you are the coach. The student is not there for socializing or entertainment. They are usually there with focused goals to fix what feels broken and to get guidance on progressing to the - [5.5 Team Teaching Dynamics](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-5-team-teaching-dynamics/) - How to teach with an equal partner Take inventory of your strengths and weaknesses It is important to identify each others' strengths and weaknesses, and personality traits.

One personality analysis tool we have used - [5.2 Class Procedures](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-2-class-procedures/) - This topic is often what people think of when they hear about a teacher training workshop. But this is just surface structure, the preparation for teaching. If the scientist's lab is prepared and organized, the experiments can go smoothly. But structure is not the end game. This topic is still considered part of Techniques - [5.1.3 Scaffolding](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-1-3-scaffolding/) - How to get the students to get it themselves The novice teacher shows and tells incessantly; the wise teacher listens, prods, challenges, and refuses to give the right answer.

A scaffold is a temporary framework that is put up for - [5.1.2 Speaking & Scripting](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-1-2-scripting/) - We often hear the objection from teachers, "The average dancer is bored or turned off by technique, so I am forced to avoid it or lose students.", or another concern, "How am I supposed to avoid refinements yet still offer authentic technical instruction?" Analogies & Imagery Every dance teacher is smart to take opportunities to - [5.1.1 Questioning](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/5-1-1-questioning/) - Socratic method The oldest, and still the most powerful, teaching technique for fostering critical thinking is Socratic teaching.

The idea is to avoid spoonfeeding students the answer, and instead asking them questions which - [4.3 Criteria & Rubrics](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/4-3-criteria-rubrics/) - Competency vs Completion Mindset All over the world, students overestimate their abilities. They think that because they have completed a series of Beginner lessons that they should qualify for the next class. This comes from assuming social dancing operates with a completion mindset, which comes from getting credit or awards for finishing a course or project - [4.1 Planning & Periodization](https://www.swingliteracy.com/lesson/4-1-planning-periodization/) - One of the biggest points of contention in the West Coast Swing community is that there is no structure for learning.
