I was introduced to this a couple years ago as an instructor , and I think it makes a ton of sense as a step that makes it easier for people to learn the swingout . Worrying about whether or not you teach it as a basic or whether it ' s historically accurate seems academic to me . It ' s an easy , leadable figure if you introduce it , people will use it on the dance floor . I don ' t see how it has any more risk of collision on the dance floor than sidebyside Charleston , nor any less flow . <| sep |> And it ' s understandable how self centered and emotionally immature they are when you look at my parents and see that sib 2 was their golden child . I ' m fairly certain sib 2 is a narcissist . Or may have BPD . When we were preteens sib 2 confessed that they felt nothing for other people and was worried they might be a sociopath . Me being 1314 had no idea what to do but say no you can ' t be ! As an adult I have a different opinion of that confession .
