When people think of swing dancing, they might think of something wholesome and tame, but Lindy Hop was revolutionary - shocking! And the Swing Out is one of the most iconic moves of Lindy Hop. In this video, we'll go over a little history, the rhythm, shape, some technique, and how to do it from closed and open position. You'll also see the Swing Out from several angles, so you can use your eyes and mind to learn more than we can say in this video.
