Charleston Leaders Role in Simultaneous Tandem Kick-Around

Video Transcript

"Ok now it is time for the leader’s role in the simultaneous Charleston tandem kick around. Something like that. So simultaneous kick around means that before she was just doing a kick around and we get to hang here and do our basic types of steps and lead her. Now we are going to get spinning around three hundred and sixty degrees as well. So it will go about half way on the one through five. One two three four, Ok, the five is where I am passing the hand and then hitch on six seven eight. And passing the hand again. So it is a little tricky. I will show it from this angle. So there is an upper body torque. That gets it going. So we are going to start some rotation. I am going to rotate on the kick and step. So landing on four. On the five I am kicking in any direction. Where ever I happen to land that is fine. And passing her hand. So I have released her left hand. We started in tandem. Release the left early on in the move. Coming around now I have got her right hand in my right hand and I need to switch it to be in my left hand. Only for the five six seven. And by the seven I have switched it from the left to the right. The switching of the hand is just a tangling prevention. We can not hold onto this hand the whole way or we get all tangled up. So we need to switch it to this hand and then come around and pick it up again and reconnect. So the whole thing looks like this. One two three four five six seven eight. One two three four five six seven eight. One two three four five six seven. One more time from this side. One two three five six seven, start to rotate. Three five seven. So the hands pass once on five and then again on seven getting right back into tandem Charleston on one."
