How To: WCS Whips - Basics by Michael Thomas

[Necromax3]

isn't this the same as a Lindy Hop swing out?

@Necromax3 Thats what I was thinking...

[tjrodin]

is this for a 3/4 count?

Whips take 8 dance counts (beats). The basic wip can be counted 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.  Step wise it can be represented as: walk, walk, tripple step, walk, walk, tripple step. The WCS suggar push and basic side passes are based on 6 counts (beats). The basic sugar push can be counted 1,2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 and step wise as walk, walk, tripple step, tripple step. Swing dances are done to music based on 4/4 time. Waltz is based on 3/4. I hope this helps.
