"How to Swing dance: Learning the Swing move "The Angel"" By Arianna S

Swing dancing is part of the 1950's era that incorporates fast paced moves with crazy stunts,
spins, dips, and challenging hand movements.

Grabbing a friend or family member and swing dancing is a great way to pass time and a build
stronger connection with your partner! You can swing dance anywhere, whether you're at
school, a park, a family event, anywhere

The following steps show you how to do one of the swing moves called "The Angel." With every
swing move you do however, you always do a "Basic".

Grab a partner to dance with!

Before performing "The Angel", do one “Basic".

A Basic consists of:
Both partners taking a step to the right. (Continue doing basics all throughout "The Angel”. In
order to do one basic, first:

Take a step to the left.

After taking the right and left step, do a "Rock Step". A Rock Step is taking a step back with your
right foot. Make sure only the tip of your foot and the ball of your foot are touching the ground.
Your heel should be slightly off the ground.

1.) After doing one Basic, allow your partner to turn you around to the left halfway while still
holding onto your hands.

2.) Stop when your back is facing your partner. Duck down, let your arms cross and go through
your head, slightly bend your knees, then go back up. (While your partner's turning you, they
should still be doing one basic.)

3.) Turn around fully to the left until you're facing your partner again and end with a rock step.

4.) Do one basic and turn your partner fully around one time. (You should still be loosely holding
onto their hands while turning them). Once they're facing you again, end with one more basic.
