I was schooled in International Jive stuff in the 1990s when I ballroom danced in Latin competitively. I think the ISTD took a page out of the swivels used in country swing and country-western dancing for this figure called the Toe-Heel Swivels.
The mantra here is you do toe-heel and then you cross forward all on one foot---and then you do the toe-heel and you cross on the other foot--in the other direction. First three steps are as is and the last 3 steps are the natural opposite directions.
The timing usually, and keenly, is QQS, QQS, although you can do QQQQQQ (or even another sequence of QQQQQQ) when you reach novice level in Jive or above, to syncopate that figure.

I had used the rock step as a precede for the Swivels, and I see this here. Without that rock step the lead for the toe-heel thing will not be as confident or spot-on.

I got it! The demonstration dancers do a "jumping-jive" version of the Toe Heel Swivels. Fine with me.
