Why can’t you do the Twist Twist Swivels? Well, let’s break it down!
- tension
- timing
- lack of practice time
- that all-too-human urge to rush ahead
The Twist Twist Swivels are a decorative flourish, not a fundamental. If you’re new, don’t stress, these come after your rock step and triple step are solid. If you want those swivels in a swing out, that’s advanced and you’ll need experience and a relaxed mindset.
Be patient when learning to dance
Do try to attend swivels workshops, because these aren’t easily slotted into a weeknight class. We want to expand your vocabulary there, not over-repeat one move.
Swivels need repetition
If you haven’t had time for that, ‘rock step, triple step’ is your trusty fallback. Twist Twist is just a fancy swap for that rock step. Now, here’s a video to help. Start with those triple step drills, don’t fast-forward! Even if you think you know them, build step by step. Rushing to the end won’t get your body to follow your brain. Foundations first, fancy later!
