Swing Dancing Advanced Dips & Tricks - reversed side by side dip and lunge dips with drags

We've been wanting to teach these more advanced dips and tricks for a while... it's always fun to really dig your teeth into a challenging move with some tricky technique!

In this class we look at a fun variation on the standard side by side dip, where the orientation is reversed – make sure you have a really strong arm connection before attempting the lean!

Then we did the lunge dip which starts with a travelling turn into close embrace, before adding some drags and a leg flick for the follows. It's fancy but when you get it right it feels so good!

As with all dips, always make sure you and your partner are safe. Follows should never dip themselves, and for leads it's best to start with an easy dip first to check it all works and is OK with your partner before attempting something more complex.
