A good, zippy barrel turn is easily one of my top favorite moves - I'm a sucker for quick spins. One of the many reasons I love dancing with Hussain Jaffery is his mutual appreciation for zippy turns. A barrel turn is one of Lindy Hop's many beautiful basic six count moves, so its capacity for variation is wide. Have some fun with it!
