FreeSwingDanceLessons.com - Blues Dance Patterns 2.05-Walking Crosses.mp4

Now that you've learned to lead and follow, learned how to control your weight and rhythm, we're ready to show you how to do turns and spins, create intracate, improvised patterns, and how to add fancy dips not just at the end of your dance, but during the middle as well. We'll show you how the patterns break down with the music, how they break down in terms of leading and following your partner, how to make them look good, and how to add the little flourishes and elements that transform moving with your partner into truly dancing together.
