EC Swing / Jive leads

In the latest variation, the overturned lead is expained in man's steps 28 and 31, the wrist turn over.
However, I am at a loss as to what the lead is for the slow and quick sugarfoot swivels or chicken walks.
I can't detect from the video any specific lead from the man and it is not explained in the steps.
Your help would be appreciated.

Now for some general comments:

The lighting levels have improved greatly and this weeks variation is excellent.

Somewhat more detailed descriptions of the man's lead in the variations is greatly appreciated.

The spins and turns lesson has helped me tremendously. However, you may want to double check the review page to see if it is what you really intended. It appears to be from "leading and following" rather than spins and turns.

Thank you,
Ray

Sorry -- I got a bit lazy on the lead descriptions. I will try to come back and refine them sometime this week if I get a chance. In short, a slight turning of the wrist in either direction should cause the lady to turn her feet. Turn your wrist upward and she'll turn her feet to her right; Turn your wrist down and she'll turn her feet to her left. Watch the video closely and you should notice Mark doing this.

Thanks for the tip about the dance lesson. I'll fix that as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Atkinson
