For those who recently heard Jonathan Baumeister talk about musicality, you'll remember he spoke of a video of Robert Royston and Melissa Rutz
(doing a Jack & Jill together) that displayed tons of musicality. Below is that video. Enjoy!
This video is a demo of a choreographed mixer (partner-changing) dance. It is done in a circle and features (two Sugar Pushes, a
Right Side Pass, a Basic Whip, and ends with a Left Side Pass with a Tuck Turn. During the Tuck Turn anchor, the ladies move left to the next leader.
We would like to do this during upcoming dances, so please watch this video and see how it's done!
