Video Transcript

"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 move comes from the last move that we just did and they go together so where we are is we have the wrong hand hold. My right her left the next move is called the yo-yo what happens is on the back step I open her up, back step and I wind her up and switch places. Triple step then I unravel her triple step start again back step triple step triple step, the lady winds herself up tightly because there is nothing stopping her so she continues to spin. (dancing) I use that momentum and she comes and goes like a yo-yo. What happens then the ending which is where I ravel her in and with this hand I scoot her down I continue having her spin in the same direction. We do an 8 count to end and that looks like this 1 2 3 an 4 5 and 6 7 and 8."
