West Coast SwingPush Break(Rolling Count)Ok, so what's a Push Break? It is similar to the Sugar Push. The difference is that the Sugar Push uses a Delayed Single Rhythm Unit [touch step] on counts [3 4] where the Push Break uses a Triple Rhythm Unit [step three times] on counts [3 a 4]. To get a little more detailed, in the Sugar Push you do a Delayed Single Rhythm Unit [&-a-touch &-a-step] on counts [&a3 &a4] where the Push Break uses a Triple Rhythm Unit [&-a-step &-step-step] on counts [&a3 &a4].

Verbals:
Leader: [&a-Bk &a-Bk] [&a-Step &-Together Fwd] [&a-Step &-Step Step]
Follower: [&a-Fwd &a-Fwd] [&a-Step &-Together Back] [&a-Step &-Step Step]
Suggestion: Bby saying the "&" (on counts "&a4" and "&a6") it causes the dancer to correctly step on the "a" count, not the "&" count.
Class: [&a1 &a2] [&a3 &a 4] [&a5 &a6]
However, this doesn't always get through to the dancers. It is better to use [&a-step &a-step] [&a-step &-step step] [&a-step &-step step]
Counts "1 thru 4": Active Connection
Count "3": Compression Connection - CPB's moving toward each other.
Count "&a": Reaction to compression getting ready to push the CPB's away into count "4"
Count "4": The CBP's will have move away from each other and the connection should reduce to a Passive Connection.
This exercise will teach the Leader how to exit the Push Break and get ready for another pattern.
Same as previous exercises but dropping Leader's :Rh after count "4" - leaving dancers in Open Position with a One Hand Lead.
Anchor: If the Leader changes from a 2 hand lead to a 1 hand (Lh) lead, then the foot positions for the Anchor shall become 3rd instead of 1st.
