"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Spencer Weisbond and this is my lovely partner Jessie Pats. I'm with Hop, Swing and Jump Dance Studios which was founded in NYC and is now based in New Orleans, Louisiana. We're showing you the Lindy hop. The next move we'll be doing on this 8 count pattern is called a swing out which is a staple move in Lindy hop. What's happening in this move is basically I'm bringing her towards me and we're going to switch positions. Then I'm going to pull her past me just like the swing out from a closed position and what she's going to do is her same foot work. It's going to be on the 8 count which is 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8 and my foot work is the same the pattern that I had before, 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8. Let's see that from a different angle 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8."
