Aerials

One part of Swing Dancing that often draws people in is aerials. Aerials are moves where either the lead or the follow at some point comes off of the ground. There are many different aerials, and multiple different variations of each aerial. At official Swing Clubs and other similar atmospheres, aerials are very rarely seen. However, during jam circles, where the majority of the people present are simply observing, aerials and other difficult moves are often thrown out. I have learned a few different aerials so far. There are many more that I have not tried yet, but I am attempting to learn more. This past week one of my friends that I Swing Dance with asked me about trying to learn a new aerial with her called The Angel. There is definitely still room for improvement, and we are still working to make it flow more smoothly, but earlier this week we took the time to learn it. The Angel is probably my favorite aerial at this point that I know how to do.
