How Do You Do The Lindy And Swing Dance?
There are several different styles of swing, including East Coast, West Coast, Savoy swing and the lindy. This six-count basic step is East Coast swing style. Get in position by facing your partner. If you are the leader, turn very slightly to your left and place your right hand in the middle of your partner’s back. Extend your left hand at hip level with your palm up, grasping your partner’s right hand in a loose grip. Your partner should place her left hand on your right shoulder and mirror your movements throughout the dance. Do a triple step on counts one and two: Quickly make a small step on your left foot, then your right, and then back to your left. (Your partner will do the reverse.) You may want to move slightly to the left during this step, but it’s more a shifting of weight back and forth than actual steps. Say ‘triple step’ to get the rhythm. Do another triple step on counts three and four, starting with your right foot, this time moving slightly to the right if you like. P
