East Coast Swing - Lesson 1 - October 6, 2025

Jennifer taught the basic East Coast Swing step, then added in an underarm turn, reverse turns, and back walks. For the basic, start with the rock-step, followed by triple steps to both sides. For the lead, the rock-step starts on the left foot; for the follow, the rock-step starts on the right. Jennifer emphasized that the triple step starts with a small step on just the ball of the foot, followed by a "drag" step that closes, and finishing with a side step.The underarm turn brings the follow out to the lead's side, (180 degree turn), so partners are facing the same direction. To return to basic hold, the lead "checks their watch" and brings the follow back in a reverse turn. The back walks start in a basic step, adding four steps walking backwards. The lead starts this by dropping the forward (lower) hand and opening so both are facing the same way, then backing up four steps. This move replaces the rock-step after triple steps to both sides. After the four back walks, both dancers do two tap-replace steps facing forward, then do two more tap-replaces back in closed hold, ending with a rock-step.
