How come the top dancers don do their triple steps?
West Coast Swing encourages musical interpretation and expression, which sometimes means that there is a more appropriate movement than a triple step for a certain part of the music. Or sometimes, they do a triple rhythm, just not in the traditional 3rd position. Either way, triple steps are a default movement, but not mandatory on every pattern. On the second triple step there is an anchor at the end, but as long as the dancer still does an anchor at the end of count 6 or 8, he or she does not need to do a triple.
