Push pull basic (lead)

Push-Pull Basic Demonstration – Stepping 8 Count (Including Turns)LEAD

Hello and thank you for joining me!

In this video, I’ll be demonstrating the push-pull basic for the lead in Chicago-style stepping, using the standard 8-count structure. This move starts on the right foot, which is essential for leads.

In addition to the push-pull, I’ll be incorporating a few other foundational movements to help you strengthen your footwork:
• The crossover basic, which helps develop directional control.
• The up-and-back stroll, which supports your rhythmic flow.
• And a full turn on one, which adds dynamic movement and helps improve your ability to lead turns with confidence.

All of these will be demonstrated as part of a smooth dance combination so you can follow along at home, even without a partner. This will help you build rhythm, timing, and muscle memory.

Please keep in mind that this demonstration is not a substitute for formal instruction. It’s designed to give you a visual overview and help you stay sharp between classes. For deeper learning, I encourage you to check out stepping classes in your city or state — there’s a strong and growing community out there to support you.

I also want to sincerely thank all of you who continue to support my channel. Your encouragement means everything to me. If you haven’t subscribed yet, I invite you to do so — it helps me continue creating content for the stepping community.

Thank you for spending this time with me. I truly hope this video helps you along your journey in learning Chicago-style stepping and mastering the 8-count.

Stay focused, keep practicing, and most importantly — keep dancing. I’ll see you in the next video!
