One dance move a day, written out in counts.

Swing basic, rock step last

The same three pieces as the other swing basic, just in a different order: two side steps, then the rock step.

East Coast Swing ยท 6 counts

The counts

CountStep
1-2step to the left on the left foot
3-4step to the right on the right foot
5rock back on the left foot
6replace weight onto the right

Tips

Styling
Rock back gently; it's a light check, not a big lunge.
Easier
Practice the two side steps alone first.
The other way
This is the leader's part; the partner mirrors it with the right foot first.

Go at your own pace. Skip any step you'd rather not do.
