@laurasandy08 Hey I appreciate it! Your responses were very educational and I will look more into dance. It truly fascinates me :)

[laurasandy08]

@definingpossible at every west coast swing event they have competitions call jack and jills, you start with one partner and dance a song and then you switch down how ever many partners they tell you to and you dance with someone completely new. the whole point of WCS is purely how well a girl can follow and how well a guy can lead. these people make it look so easy cause they have been dancing it for so many years lol but its tons of fun! i encourage everyone to learn WCS

@laurasandy08 Can I ask what a jack and jill is? I am not familiar with dance at all but would love to get into it. It just very much surprises me that people can make something up on the spot and make it look that good! Thanks for your patience :)

@definingpossible its a jack and jill its not choreographed 

[definingpossible]

Is this freestyle or choreographed? Anyone know? I don't really know how this is done but the way they are seated it just looks like a freestyle to me.

@ekbutterflyink - I just timed how much of the song is instrumental, and it's almost 3 minutes. from my memory, i think there are only two short stints of singing....in fact, you could probably just cut the first part of the song (with the two singing parts) completely out & still have plenty of instrumental to make a song :)

[ekbutterflyink]

@kjedmund That's definitely the right song! Just wish I knew where to find the instrumental version! I LOVE IT!

[kjedmund]

Sound Hound says the song is "How Long Can a Fool Go Wrong" by James Cotton, but that one has lyrics....the instrumental is right, though (mostly). If anyone knows a better match, please let me know, too? LOVE that song, and Torri totally rocked it!
