SWING DANCE MOVES: The Pretzel Country Swing Dancing

Can I come live with you two & be totally immersed!!!! 😄I’m a retired PE, Health & Dance Teacher. Currently, I teach Basic East Coast Swing (& pickleball) at our Ocean City, MD Parks & Rec. Happened on to your videos and your instructions are stellar! Wish I had them when I was teaching middle & high school!

Hi guys! Can you do a tutorial video on jitterbug?

Cheers great lesson.

Can you show the move where the girl's back is to the guy, and his arms are under her armpits and the guy swings the girl under his legs in a circle while stepping over her?

can you do the dougie

Years ago ( quite a few years ago) , I learned a swing move that would creat a sort of “picture frame” or “window”? Do you have any videos of what I’m talking about??

Mucho dangerous pendejo

Are any other guys duct taping a pool noodle to a pillow to try and replicate this alone in your apartment?

You guys are such a cute couple!

We did that in two step

Enjoy your lessons, but do you have any tips for someone with a left arm in a sling . I would like your help improvising .

You guys are coming to my town next week
I sorely wish I could make your workshop classes, I’ve been watching your instructional vids for several months now.

I feel like I’ve got some of the more simple moves down, this one included.

I love the pretzel. It’s one of the moves I’ve included into my repertoire.
But I’ll always refuse chocolate covered pretzels. (Jason Lee/Micheal Rooker reference. So horrible that when Earl did it, Merle voluntarily cut off his own hand)

Tornado

Awesome lesson! Can you show us The Chalupa next!!??

Have you demonstrated the tunnel for country swing yet?

That’s a lot different than the pretzel I and everyone I know knows. Looks more like the Promenade Spin to me.

Do we have to spin two times before you restart

I've seen many videos are about the pretzel. This was the best! Thanks!

I wanna see a dog

Your instruction is clear and quality of video is the best online. Thank you for posting.

This was great instruction, thank you!

Ok. Great. Have you shown the leaders pretzel?

I see a lot of couples doing turns while in hammer lock, is there a safe way to do that?

Like your humor, the slap....

I love your guys a lot thank you for the lesson thank you and thankyou

Hands-down best tutorial on the pretzel. I have done this move with no fewer than 5 different variations/patterns and this original TRUE pretzel is still my favorite. In my Country Swing lessons I started teaching people the Hammerlock long before we get to Pretzel to prepare them. I'm curious about how many different variations or patterns of the Pretzel you have come across.

I have one friend who cranks me through this move and nearly dislocates my arm every time. I got so sick of it last night that I decided to do something. I think I'll share this video with him to help him overcome this problem because it's better coming from an outside expert source. Thank you for putting out quality information and saving me from pain. :)

You are awesome, I wish you were in Florida!

Congrats on 3K subs.
I’ve been trying to find a variation in cowboy Cha Cha that replaces the “sway-sway” where both partners spin simultaneously. I heard it referred to as a military walk or somethin’. Know it?

Love it.


Okay, here's a request. Please breakdown that dance move where Rose squats down and you stepped over her. Can't find the video it was in. Looks like you may have deleted that one. It was a short clip of you two dancing.
