Some dancers prefer using regular swing position, in­stead of single hands. When the two ladies swing together it is best for them to stand with right hips together, and each lady grasp the other's arms just below the shoulders. However, the swing position is more often used for the next call and the one hand swing for this one.
Note : This and the following dance are found in an in­finite variety of forms and variations in different parts of the country.
