This week's flourish is a neat little back lead that we originally saw in a video from the Scout House with Nor'easter playing (filmed by frankhsieh; thanks for pointing us to it, klmabon!)
The neat thing about this flourish is that it's actually a combination of two flourishes linked together into a back lead (a turn-under and a ripcord twirl -- wow has it really been ten months since we posted that last one?). As with all ripcord twirls, be careful of your partner's shoulders and do not yank their arms.
Dancers are, as usual, Ryan Holman (a.k.a. your friendly techno contra blogger) and Steven Roth (the guy with the ponytail).
Send us your flourishes! They might be featured here!
Happy Friday,
CS
P.S. Like the "Dance with who's comin' atcha/dJ improper" shirts? Friend of the site Penelope Weinberger is in charge of those as her own project. If you'd like to get one, message me and I'll pass on her info!
