This video features material taught in the intermediate/advanced west coast swing class held at Salsa Mania in Zurich for the West Coast Swing group (http://www.westcoastswing.ch). Thanks to Linda for assisting me in the class.

We looked at taking familiar moves outside the slot, asking the leaders to commit to driving their followers' momentum places, and asking the followers to be great momentum carriers. 

1. 4 ct starter step
2. Forward sendout or left side pass from closed into a 2 hand open position hold
3. Shaping pushbreak (or sugarpush) from left to right
4. Into an accelerated cradle wrap into a relaxed triple out (high to low tone shaping)
5. R2R right side pass (talked about elasticity)
6. R2R fold (inspired by Jordan Frisbee) into ladies come around and left leg ronde
7. R2R underarm left side passby
8. Accelerated lasso whip down leader's left side followed by her hairbrush
9. Groove it out and start again
