West Coast Swing Bronze – Ron Montez

A strong understanding of the Bronze syllabus provides the foundation for confident and consistent West Coast Swing dancing. In this instructional program, Ron & Karla Montez present the official Dance Vision Bronze syllabus, demonstrating the figures commonly used to develop fundamental technique, partner connection, and timing.

The lessons introduce each syllabus figure individually before showing them in demonstration sequences, making it easier to understand how the patterns connect and flow together. The material is suitable for independent practice, classroom instruction, and syllabus preparation.

Covering both six-count and eight-count patterns, the program includes core West Coast Swing figures such as side passes, sugar pushes, whips, tuck variations, and turns. These figures form the basis of the Bronze syllabus and provide a practical reference for dancers building their technical skills.

Whether you are beginning your West Coast Swing journey or reviewing the official Bronze syllabus, this video offers a structured reference for learning the essential figures and improving confidence on the dance floor.
