Dance Moves - DropSpin

Demonstrated by Michael & Cheryl

Every man knows that if you turn your back on a pretty lady she might be gone in a flash and if you should happen to drop her hand you might never grasp it again. But there's good news! If you can perform this simple, stylish move well on the dance floor the lady won't be offended and she'll stick around for more. The camera captured Michael giving Cheryl a quick dropspin at Lorna's Dance Studio in Somerton, South Australia where they were sharpening their Jive skills. An interesting point is that a rough-dancing male would find this move hard to perform.

The move begins man's leftt-hand to woman's right-hand. The man raises their hands and as the lady turns anti-clockwise, he does the same, ducking underneath their hands. He then brings their hands down and releases the lady's hand onto his right shoulder.

At this point he tries his luck. First, he turns away to give her a seemingly cold shoulder. He then releases her hand onto his shoulder and moves forward slightly to drop her hand, with his own right-hand strategically waiting behind his back. If he catches her hand, she hasn't shot through!

To complete the move, he gives her hand a gentle push and she spins clockwise while he spins anticlockwise. Michael's brain is ticking over figuring out the next move while the couple are turning.
