Fun with Hitches | West Coast Swing Tips

There’s something powerful about that tiny elastic moment before you go.
That’s a hitch.

In this video, we break down how a simple pulsing action at the beginning of your pattern can completely transform your dancing by adding rhythm, control, speed, and intention before you even take your first real step.

When done correctly:
– Your triples feel more dynamic
– Your movement has more power
– Your rhythm gets richer
– Your lead becomes clearer

And the best part? It’s foundational. We teach this to newer dancers because it builds everything else. We also explore how different angles change the conversation:
• Stay square → clean basic lead
• Open slightly → prep
• Hitch to the side → rotation
• Hitch inward → swivel or promenade

Small shift. Big impact.
If you love understanding the mechanics behind why something works and you want structured drills, progressions, and full technique breakdowns; we have an entire hitch series waiting for you inside our online program. This is where we slow it down, build it properly, and help you feel it in your own body.
