Swing Fling (Country Swing)
Count:
32
Wall:
4
Level:
Improver
Choreographer:
Richard Rogers (USA) & Nancy Rogers (USA) - April 2025
Music:
Isn't She Country - LOCASH
Other Music: Any music suitable for country swing.
Note: No tags or restarts. There is one 4-count starter step to help shift weight back onto the correct foot. A back step in country swing is tricky - think of it as a push step, or boing step (like the rebound at the end of a bungee cord stretch). Dance on the balls of your feet, take small steps, and step back with the intention of reversing direction. Step forward smoothly on the “quick” that follows the “slow” step.
Starting Position: Face the starting wall with weight on LF.
