Teresa Egan: Hi! I am Teresa Egan and this is Tucker Jones, and today we are learning the original swing dance, the Lindy Hop.
So we just learned the under arm turn and now we are going to learn another what's called Reach Down Pull Her Back. So we are going to start in our same position and we are going to start again with the rock steps, we are going to go rock step. And on the first triple step, we are going to move forward towards the camera and we are going to go triple step, and he is going to bring his hand from your waist down to the side, and so from there we are going to go triple step back and he is going to open you up, so we are not standing side by side. So it's really important that you swing like a door, so you need to be able to get your arm all the way around and actually meet the flow.
So let's show it again, 5, 6, 7, 8. Drop step, Reach Down Pull Her Back, rock step. And let's show it again from the other side, 5, 6, 7, 8. Drop step, Reach Down Pull Her Back, rock step. So that was the Reach Down Pull Her Back, and next we are going to learn Ba-Doomp Ba-Doomp.
