What happens when the strong beat isn't on 1 it's on 2 -- d'you still call 1 the downbeat then (if so what d'you call 2) -- or is 2 the downbeat?
Interestingly, at FL on the w/end tried to dance to a record with a strong beat on 2 -- vaguely hip/hop/ vague reggae TwK special.
Tried to WCS it, but also wanted to "break on 2". Unfortunately, I think my poor WCS skills and unconventional approach flummoxed by usually 110% efficient partner. Most of the other proficient westies were dancing happily, but I assume breaking on 1.
So, can / should you break on 2 in WCS if there is a strong beat on 2 and a weak beat on 1??
