"my name is Eric Jacobson and I'm Donna Roesel and we are here in Dance Manhattan Studios in NYC to show you and teach you west coast swing. Leaders, we're going to do the footwork for the left side pass remember that is called left side pass, so unlike the underarm where she passes you on the right. Now she'll pass you on the left we just ended an open position anchor right left right. I'm going to begin with a double stepping down the slot on my left foot again keeping the arm relaxed on one so that we don't pull her. You're going to step down the slot on one on count two I'm going to step to my right again out of her way. Remember she stays in the slot so I need to get out of her way. I'll step to my right on 2 on 3 and 4 I'm going to triple in place 3 and 4 turning around as she passes me and I will anchor 5 and 6. Again from this side I'm stepping down the slot on 1 stepping to my right on 2 I will turn around 3 and 4 and then anchor on 5 and 6."
