Sway Technique

Proper sway technique is a very important factor in all of the swing dances that is often neglected. On the count of one, the body should be in a neutral position with no sway as the step is taken. For the next two steps, the body should sway in the direction of the foot that stepped on the count of one. On the next count of one, the body returns to a neutral position. Thus, if the right foot steps on "one", the body sways to the right for steps two and three, and returns to a neutral position again on the following count of one.
