The Pretzel and Around the World are swing dance moves. this isn't really 'swing dancing' its just a compilation of swing dance aerials and stunts. perhaps i should rename the video, thanks for giving me your input :D
Actually they're not. The Pretzel and Around the World are "tricks" that beginners teach each other, not swing dance moves. Additionally, aerials and stunts are things that are done in cheerleading. In real swing dancing it's called "air steps" as that's what they were named by Frankie Manning, the guy that invented them.
The difference is that your tricks require you to stop dancing to execute. Air steps are part of the dance and music. Check out my videos to see what I'm talking about.
Sorry, I haven't done any research about this. We just wanted to learn a dance and some stunts for a school talent show. We aren't seeking to be professionals who know terminology and such.
I've seen your videos before, they are good, but they don't help me much. Thank you though.
Yeah, lovetoswingdance doesn't actually know how to swing dance.
I don't expect you to become a professional, I was just letting you know there's more out there if you want to continue to improve and learn more. I'm not a professional, I just love swing dancing and want people to learn about it.
Just so you guys know, that's not swing dancing. If you want to learn how to swing dance, you need to learn Lindy Hop.

also, lovetoswingdance's channel lists all our moves that we have learned as swing dance aerials.
I don't know the terminology, maybe they are wrong, but that's where we learned from.
Sorry if i came off as harsh or nasty, I have a splitting headache. Cheers! -Chromi
