@tcswing: Texas Tommy Matrix 🚀 Continuous Hand Connections Today in our Level 2 class, we pushed the boundaries of hand-work and connection by creating a complete matrix around the Texas Tommy! Instead of using it as a standalone move, we integrated the behind-the-back Texas Tommy connection into circles, side passes, 6-count traveling steps, and even Frankie Manning’s iconic promenade. It’s all about maintaining a smooth, uninterrupted connection while navigating complex hand handoffs. 📝 The Level 2 Routine Masterlist 1. Texas Tommy - Lindy Circle 2. Tuck Turn - Side Pass 3.

Frankie’s Promenade with Texas Tommy Connection 💡 Champion’s Insight: Mastering the Modified Connections 1. Seamless Behind-the-Back Handoffs (Count 5) ⚡️: Whether you are executing a standard finish or entering a Texas Tommy Circle, the crucial behind-the-back handoff must initiate exactly on Count 5. Leaders, place your hand low and stationary against your hip right on this beat. Followers, keep moving through your track so your hand glides perfectly into the leader‘s palm without causing a sudden jerk. 2. Managing Momentum on Finishes 📐: Transitioning from a Texas Tommy Circle into a Rhythm Turn or a Triple Turn Finish requires immense rotational control. Do not use your arms to spin your partner; instead, anchor your weight and use your core to smoothly accelerate or delay the rotation based on the rhythm. 3. Maintaining Pulse in Promenades 🦍: Layering the Texas Tommy connection over 6-Count Traveling or Frankie’s Promenade can easily cause you to drop your basic swing pulse. Keep your frame resilient and your posture grounded. The hand hold might be complex, but your feet must remain light, bouncy, and deeply rooted in the jazz rhythm. #스윙댄스 #트리플크라운 #이수찬 #LindyHop #SwingDance
