The Around the Horn Move in Swing Dancing

Hi! I am Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. This is my dance partner Cindy. We are going to show you a move called Around the Horn. For this move we are going to start out in the hand shake position. I am going to lead her towards me. She needs to dance straight, forward, which means she would collide into me unless I move out of the way, which I will. I am going to step to the left. As I step to the first one, lead her forwards and step to the left, then here I am going to lift up my elbow so you can see I am going to rotate slightly. I am going to lead her towards me and step to my left. On bringing my elbow up, gave my hand so she can go underneath, now I am stepping forward. At this point, I am turning in for you. I have her hand in my right hand. I am going to transfer it to my left hand. This hand is now free and then I am going to turn to my left, a half turn. So again, I am going to lead her towards me lifting up this hand as she goes underneath transferring the hand and turning towards her and then a rock step. So let us do that with a single count slow, slow, rock step, slow, slow, rock step, slow, slow, rock step, slow, slow, rock step, slow, slow, rock step, now let us do that with a triple. Rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step and that is around the horn.
