This week's flourish is a twirly sequence of swings that builds up to a little series that's really neat: it starts with a cuddle-up swing, then into a ripcord twirl, and then a cuddle up/backward swing into a Whipperstomper balance into a double twirl-out. Each time the lead adds a little bit more complexity so the follow will "get" the lead when it gets pulled out. (This strategy is also helpful for other more complex moves -- start small and build your way there, repeating steps as necessary if you have an unfamiliar partner or an unfamiliar flourish.)
You, too, can have flourishes featured! Drop us a line!
