"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. The next endless swing out variations is going to be a swing out with a free turn for the lady, again most swing outs are very similar from 1-4 and they occur in this second half of the swing out. So let's get to 4 1 2 3 and 4 on 5 I'll let go of this hand and I'll spin her clockwise across my body, 5 then with her momentum she'll continue to turn 6 7 and 8. I will help her around with my hand let's watch that again 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8, what I'll do is have her here I'll spin her with my hand and then help her along. Let's see if we can see that with a different angle and that will look like this 1 2 3 and 4 5 6 7 and 8."
