Loved it! I use tommy after 3 swing outs to exit the swing out more easily. Want to learn circle too for the same purpose. Would love to see a video on that too!

When you say the circle, can you tell me what you mean by that? A TX Tommy in a circle or the basic 6 or 8 count circle?

I found myself looking at your nursey, I had to go back and watch it again. Beautiful! I love the different angles and the breakdown of your clips. I find it difficult to learn without social dancing, any recommendations on how to practice by myself?

Thank you about the plants! Yes, it's so hard to learn without social dancing. Honestly, I think social dancing is inescapably important. However, if you work on solo dancing, your body gets more connected to itself, gets more refined ideas about music, and becomes faster at learning physical things, so whatever social dancing you DO have access to is more productive.
