Week 5 was the last session for the Swing dance. The steps that you learned this season in the Swing were:
1) Basic triple rhythm Swing step: (triple to the L, triple to the R, rock step)
2) Outside Turn: (patticake hands on the first triple, then gal spins, then both triple to the side, and rock step)
3) Inside Turn: Man moves his L hand xss in front of himself to turn the girl as he triples to his L - but he must also turn 1/4 turn to his R. Then, facing each other, they both do their 2nd triple, and rock step.
4) She Turns; He Turns: - (on the first triple, the guy turns 1/4 turn to his R - leading her into an Inside Turn, but then just after she goes under (his L hand) - he spins under on the "2" count (not before) to his L. Both end facing each other, do their 2nd triple to the side, and rock step)
5) Hammerlock: Man raises his L hand, keeping the R hand down. He then triples past the girl on her side where the hand is down, 2nd triple he continues to turn twds her *VIP that he turns enough that his R shoulder is close to hers. His L hand connection will drop down in front of his R hand connection. They both rock step. Then he Inside Turns her as he triples back to his original start position; then they both triple to the side, and rock step
**NOTE: If anyone needs a refresher on these steps - come 15 minutes early to next class.
On the last week of dance lessons We have a "wrap up party". Dance classes are not open to the public – members or guests only.
All students bring a food item – ie: appetizers, quartered sandwiches, veggies, or whatever. All foods are placed on tables at the front, and everyone helps themselves buffet style at intermission.
Students can bring their own water, pop, or juice.
