Lesson Description:This lesson teaches a modified version of a basic Lindy Circle which uses an alternate connection, and opens the door for countless other variations. Breakdown includes a drill to teach you how this particular connection works most efficiently (which happens to demonstrate another figure in the process), body positioning details for both partners, and everything you need to know to use this technique to transition to closed position.
