How does one get into this move? No one has ever been able to explain how to start this move!

Alternatively, from side-by-side charleston, you can get into it by pushing on 3

Start by taking a rock step to your left and lead her to the side using your hand.

Thanks you two for all the Lindy moves you've been explaining. We're in the UK, and teachers that have style and structure are few and far between, so we really appreciate your breakdowns of various lindy moves..... keep on dancin'... Linda & Roger G.
