Swing Outs are one of the core eight-count moves in Lindy Hop. Dancers begin in a closed position and finish the move open. Within this classic structure, there are endless possibilities to explore!
In this workshop, we will touch on the technique of the swing out in the first half hour after that we dig into variations to expand your dancing vocabulary.
Dora & Teodora will teach and lead you through the technique and the moves! klick here to check them out!
