1,2,3...1,2,3...Back-step

I picked up the basics of the East Coast Swing the other day in a 1-1/2 hour class where I was among the youngest on the dance floor. As expected, the moves were tamer than the ones I learned from Beginner's Swing/Jitterbug class at the Discovery Center 10 years ago. No fancy lifting or carefree flinging of ladies across the room, but I did have to concentrate whenever my aged partners went wild and led me into consecutive inside and outside turns, followed by a hand change behind the back. Whoa!
