SWING is an action (taking two beats) of lifting foot with almost straight leg.
HELPFUL HINT: Dancers tend to lift the foot too high.
For festive dances, the height is a fun styling; but for elegant dances,
try to swing low (however, still with more height than a POINT)
STEP SWING [from facing partners] = STEP, swing foot thru
HELPFUL HINT: There is only a single weight change for the entire figure.
SPIN MANEUVER = Woman SPINS left face while Man MANEUVERS, then both end with a SIDE, CLOSE.
