The West Coast Swing Sugar Push

So remember that the West Coast Swing basic is walk, walk, triple step, triple step. East Coast Swing has a rock step, West Coast Swing has as walk walk. So, walk, walk, triple step, triple step. I start left, she starts right.

The Sugar Push looks like this – walk, walk, triple step, triple step. So again, walk, walk, triple step, triple step. What’s going to happen is I’m going to back up left right, she’s going to come forward right left. I’m going to present my right hand. I might already have that right hand, but just in case I don’t I’m going to present it. She’s going to go walk, walk.

On this first triple she’s going to kind of slowly push into me a little bit and I’m going to absorb that weight or that energy. Triple, sending her back, step. Now I just kind of send her away from me. There’s no need for me to take a big step towards her. Step, I let go of the right hand, we triple in place, triple step. Nicola will take her left foot and pull it behind her right as she finishes that pattern. So again, I go walk, walk, triple step, triple step.

We’ll do that from a different angle. I start left, she starts right. I bring her in, walk, walk. I take my triple kind of in place, triple, just stepping a little bit forward underneath myself, triple step. Then she’s going to take her triple step, triple step. I really kind of think like behind and forward. So, we’re going to go walk, walk, behind and forward, triple step. So we have a Sugar Push, like the ladies coming in to get a little bit of sugar, and then I send her away. That’s walk, walk, triple, triple. That’s your Sugar Push. We’re going to do it to music.

And there’s your Sugar Push.
