Did Simon say what I think he said at the 00:54 mark?

[gerryn]

Hand change ( for figure of 8 )

Double return back pass

Right to left

Slingshot Manhattans

"WE GOT A GOOD LEAD"???

inward turns

outward turns

[gerryn]

As punishment for me translating, I shall watch you repeat this move on Monday. The " penguins " or quickstep turns ( flying around in circle ) are particularly hard to lead your partner into properly.... I find.

[gerryn]

He says

"Straight in," ( to the manhattan walks )

and back

"mmm we've got a good lead"

then were gonna do in INWARD TURN

[gerryn]

There is a full description of the moves under the "more.." to the top right hand side of this video.

I hope you find this lesson useful.

[h0n24CZ]

Please what is the name of song which is playing on the background?

[Jivenation99]

No idea at al what was said. Think teh clip recording slipped a little, sometimes the sound track in youtube gets skewed in sections. But whatever was said, it didnt sound risque.. sigh

[jiveafter5]

Good dance lesson.  Well described too.

Oops, sorry. Must get my ears washed out, along with my mind.
