Sugar Push Step for Ladies in West Coast Swing Dancing
This is Leslie Sack with expertvillage.com you could always check out my website at lesliesack.com and the dance that we are doing is the west coast swing. This is the ladies part for the sugar push. So we are going to start off with the right foot. Ladies it is really important when you first start you put all your weight into your left leg and the analogy that I like to use is that you could be the water skiing. He is the boat and your are the water skier. You are going to wait for him to pull you on the one. So you are going to go you are just going to keep it very gently, just keep your hand gently on his left hand and walk forward. Walk, walk, bring your right foot in, 3 and 4, 5 and 6. When you bring your right foot in you have lots of options 1 you could bring it right back to the other one and go triple steps, triple step, and on the back part or you could go walk, walk, tap, step, triple step. When you walk forward you are going to be strutting this is really a straight dance so you just going to feel it. Try not to go up and down just really smooth. So behind us it is like this 1,2,3, and 4,5, and 6 and I like to turn. 3 and 4, 5 and 6, walk, walk, tap, step, 1,2,3. So walk, walk, tap, or you could triple step, step back. This is 5 and 6 and . So the 5 and 6 your left hand goes up and your left heel goes down. So in the very end when your put your heel down and you get all that weight into that leg and there you you have a hip action alright that position the attitude that is a sugar push for the girls attitude makes it all the difference. Very sexy.
