"On behalf of Expert Village I'm Spencer Weisbond from Hop Swing and a Jump. Hop Swing and a Jump is located in New Orleans, Louisiana and this is my lovely partner Jessie Pats. Today we'll be showing you Lindy Hop level 2. Our next swing variation will be an outside turn and not a inside turn she'll be spinning the opposite direction but the lead is still on 5. Let's get to 4 1 2 3 and 4 on this variation you won't be leading her the same way this way. You'll be leading her the other way around and that starts on 5. Then she steps on 6 and she continues to turn around 7 and 8. So let's look at it from this angle and we'll get to 4 1 2 3 and 4 she's turning clockwise now 5 6 7 and 8, this is what it looks like at a faster speed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 8. From the other side we'll go 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8."
