Lindy Hop: Rock Step or Draw Step?
Posted by Jacksonuk

I've been dancing Lindy Hop for years and have always taught my Follows, for the Open Swingout, that it starts with two forward steps/swivels. Recently, I was introduced to the concept of having the Follow start with a rock step which isn't foreign to me, but feels counterproductive and rushes the Swingout.

My question: What's a good way to explain to my students that the Follow can be lead into an Open Swingout by starting with a rock step, and how can they feel the distinction between a rock step and a draw step?
