recaps - page 4

First two Slow Swing classes in a reverse order.

In our Intermediate-Advanced class, we reversed Swing outs and circles and played with them.

Practicing different angles we can redirect to in both send out and swing out.

Some Balboa-inspired Charleston stuff that's nice to do on fast music when feeling lazy.

Some hand to hand charleston variations you can easily practice at home as well!

Free spin but with (lots) of extra spins. Also, taking a little freedom to spin as a leader as well.

Adding a little challenging variation into swing out. Lead walks for follower.

First a recap of connection/isolation exercise we did on the class, then a little demo social dancing and playing with isolations.

Staying circling around after over-rotated swing out. Classic footwork and switch variations for followers and leaders.

A couple of exercises for followers to add dynamics and lengthening movements meanwhile leaders focus on responding.

Collection of Charleston movements including 20s charleston, hacksaw, sailor, drag, and tandem variations.

We practiced swing outs either by follower rock stepping or stepping forward on 'one'. Plus leader's circular swing out variation.

Moves to suggest follower ½, 1, 1½, 2, or 2½ turns.

We taught the basic Sugar push, a variation with swivels and a kick ball change and then we show some ideas what else you can do with this move.

Basic barrell roll progressing from open roll to over the head with maintained hand connection. A little bonus at the end.
