you guys rock!

[HighKingTurgon]

Are you guys practising on a squash court? That's awesme! I used to practise ballroom (esp. foxtrot and tango) on a squash court at the local athletic centre. It's great until a ball in the adjacent room hits the wall.

yeah, we are practicing in a racquetball room on campus!! it was a pretty quiet night so we didn't have too many distractions from adjacent rooms :P

Thanks, I am trying to learn how to do this, we have home coming next year and I want to swing dance while I am there.

[ReBock07]

you guys are really good, and very helpful!

question, can you tell me what the girl does in the around the world?

my partner and i have tried to do it but i can never get all the way around

[twistedwiskers]

the around the world is very much a joint effort! the girl should keep her stomach tight and keep her arms ready as she swings around to grab onto the guys arm. the rest is really up to the guy though. as the girl runs and jumps into his arms, it is then up to him to keep the momentum going as he swings the girls legs around and then her top half. it really takes a lot of ... swivel/waist action from the guy.

[twistedwiskers]

until you get really smooth at it, try pausing for a moment while the girl is across/behind the guys back. take a minute there to twist all the way to the left before twisting to the right and letting go of the girl with the right arm for her to swing around.

i hope this helps. if you have more questions or clearer instruction, just let me know! :)

What's the song.. I love it!!!  Nice Moves!!!

[Direness]

I believe its called "The Shim Sham Song" by The Bill Elliot Swing Orchestra. You can buy CDs on Amazon of theirs, but their super expensive because they're no longer cut. I've seen them for $30-$50. Great band tho.
