Uptown Swing Intermediate #1, 8/3/2010

* People were asking about my T-Shirt - it is from a documentary that a good friend of Chas's is working on about whether one can really "break" or make it in the music scene nowadays. I think it is gonna be awesome - you should check it out: http://www.brokedoc.com/

Here's the recap y'all - sorry it's so long I couldn't shut up.

Swingout points
* Leaders give more time on 5, 6 (& 1,2)

* Leaders move whole body, not just "center" or shoulders
* Followers let the movement connect you
* Everybody focus on a good swinging rhythm, it fixes a LOT
