Extreme Swing – Styling & Technique is an East Coast Swing instructional program featuring Ron & Karla Montez, designed for Bronze (Beginning–Intermediate) dancers who already have a solid understanding of the basic steps and terminology.
Rather than reviewing fundamental patterns, this program introduces five advanced Swing patterns incorporating rotation and counter-balance techniques. The variations combine familiar actions in more challenging ways, providing material that can be used for social dancing, showcases, and competition routines.
In addition to the partnered patterns, Ron and Karla present 10 Solo Improvement Components designed for individual practice. These exercises include Side Tap, Knee Rolls, Kick Ball-Change, Points, Sailor Shuffle, Split Foot Pullback, Open Swivels, and other actions that can also be incorporated into partner dancing.
Four dedicated Practice Patterns focus on Kick Ball Change, Open Swivel, Foot Split Pullback, and Syncopated Points, helping dancers apply the solo components within structured movement sequences.
The approximately 62-minute program concludes with dance demonstrations showing the material in action. Because this is a variation program, dancers are expected to already know the basic East Coast Swing patterns before beginning.
