Swing Dance - Swingout from Open Position

Mike Foley: Hi! I'm Mike and this is Tina and we're with Head Over Heels Dance and Fitness. We are teaching you basic swing dancing. Now we're going to show you a swingout from the open position. So we were left off, we are in open position after doing a swingout from close and it looks like this rock step, triple step and step and triple step. So for the guys, I'm doing the same exact footwork as I was doing with the swingout from close position. The only difference here now is that she is starting in front of me, but I still have the same exact footwork and still rock step, triple step to face to my right or kind of behind me and then finishing out the swingout. So you notice, for the first four beats is where it looks little different. Rock step, triple step, but this is the same position I was in when I did that swingout from close position. Now I can step, step, triple step, to send her back out. So the difference really with the swingout in open position is that I need to pull her in on the one and two, pull her in triple step to get her to come around and then finish it off 5, 6, 7, 8. Tina Foley: Now we're going to show you the girl's footwork and it goes like this. I'm going to switch sides here first. The girls, what we're going to do? First, we're going to a swivel on 1 and 2 and we're going to swivel forward to our guy and then we're going to do a 3 and 4 and that close position. So we're going to go swivel, swivel, triple step and I'm going to take my left hand and I make sure that I put it on his right shoulder. And then a little bit of compression going on here because I'm sitting back, so he can pick me up and turn me on 5. He is pivoting me and then he unwinds me on 6 and all my weight is on right foot here. And then I open up and do my triple step and there is a lot of compression going on between the two of us, it's kind of balance that's going on. Alright, so this is what a swingout looks like 5, 6, 7, 8, swivel, swivel, triple step, step, step, triple step. Now that is a swingout from the open position and now we're going to show you a Lindy Circle.
