How to do a Water Skier Slide in Swing Dance

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. Our next swing out variation is going to be a big slide for me you can even call it the water skier. What is going to happen is we're going to do a regular swing out and then I'm going to step this way on 5 and I'm going to chase her. Then I'm going to open up into a V position with my feet 5 6 7 8 9 10 so it's not an 8 count swing out it's a ten count swing out. You can take the extra two steps to give yourself some motion before you open your feet and hopefully you will slow down and not end up on your behind. This looks like this 1 2 3 an 4 chase chase open slide 1 2, let's do it from this angle which will go like this 1 2 3 an 4 5 6. On behalf of Expert Village thanks for watching."
