Juan and Sharon's Swingout Philosophy (1 of 8): Making your Swingout Linear - This is lesson 1 of 8 in Juan & Sharon's Swingout Philosophy lesson pack. Sharon and Juan's swingout philosophy centres on a fundamental notion that the swingout is a linear (and not circular) figure. In this lesson, Sharon and Juan will explain this concept, and demonstrate how a straight swingout is easier, more efficient and more powerful. They will provide practical exercises to help you refine your swingout to a straight line. Lindy Hop | about Juan Villafane, Sharon Davis 2
