Frankie's body shape, he appears to be leaning into the swingout instead of away and to the outside, defying the laws of centrifugal forces. That's a testament to his and Anne Johnson's body control that they can create an illusion of such dynamism. Both of them must have their weight centered under them so they aren't pulling each other off their feet. Frankie could do that till the day he died. Try it sometime with a follow who's weight isn't centered and you'll get pulled off your feet. Deans style looks easier and maybe more intuitive but it's also easier to injure your shoulder on the stretch and not as dynamic.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this critical historic footage Nick!
