Lindy Hop Class Recap: Charleston mini-choreography and variations (with Skye and Naomi)

Naomi started by teach a great charleston variation (123456: normal footwork 7812: step step step-hold, picking up the normal 34: kick step of the next Charleston basic). When doing the 7812 step step step-hold you can stylize it by let the other leg sweep. Then Skye taught a very slow tuck turn down the line that honors the typical 8 count feel of Charleston. Then we did skip ups (12: rock step 34: kick step 56: kick step 78: big kick) with a two hand connection. All of this adds up to (6) 8's which is a typical blues phrase length.
