This week's flourish is one we picked up from another Glen Echo dancer and was pointed out to us by Kevin Mabon from one of the videos he takes of the Glen Echo dances. It's a neat transition for those dances that call for a swing and then a promenade.
The two things to be careful of are 1) keep your footprint small and when you pull the follow by, be sure to step in the other direction; and 2) make sure you don't trap your follow's hand under your elbow when (s)he's going behind your back.
Dancers are Steven Roth & Ryan Holman.
Special thanks to Ryan's parents for lending us their foyer...(yes, that is Ryan's Christmas stocking in the lower right of the shot).
