“I am glad I found dancing”
Basket with 3 different turn outs.
Difficulty level: 
Follower gets a say.
Difficulty level:
Lots of ways to do the same basic move. Include pauses for effect.
Difficulty level:
Put your hand centrally behind your back when ducking.
Difficulty level:
Arm hook travelling from catapult.
Song: JVLA - Such a Whore, Supported by #CopyrightFreeTunes
Difficulty level:
This looks quite easy, but can take a bit to master.
Doing it in a clockwork fashion with predetermined steps is not the same.
Difficulty level:
Both taking a turn.
Difficulty level:
May make follower a little dizzy so not overused.
Difficulty level:
An element of rueda.
A basic element in jive - perhaps add a flick spin to it.
Difficulty level:
Leaders start it, followers keep it going.
I am sure some of you can go quicker?
Difficulty level:
A lesson in expression.
Have fun but be controllable. Be super good rather than super annoying.
Difficulty level:
Used between moves to fill time. Gives leader a chance to think of next move.
Difficulty level:
We can show you how to stop this happening in the lessons. Some will junk one or two beats by doing the move in a semi-fashion.
Difficulty level:
Can be done either side. Note the arm not held is best kept out of the way. Makes sure you step to the side when you drop to reach behind.
Difficulty level:
Hand positioning plays a big part in making this work smoothly.
Difficulty level:
Will feel stightly awkward as arms go behind your backs if not led carefully.
Difficulty level:
The hammerlock - tragic version. Thanks to a lady (Everlyn) who's first attempt at the hammerlock was bad beyond belief. Later, I realised that it was actually genius. A new move brought to you by MaxJive.
Flip right leg over left and keep both feet essentially in the same spot.
Difficulty level:
Easy lean
Simple addition to the Hallelujah.
You can't see behind you - don't over lean.
Difficulty level: 
An original move by MaxJive.
Splay fingers to offer. If not taken up then place hand on top of follower's hand. Light touch and practice needed for the pass through.
Difficulty level:
Sometimes called figure 8.
Difficulty level:
Intro idea - work in progress for the start of Badlands. Note: This looks straightforward, it is straightforward, but the potential to topple is very great. A small lean creates a huge pull. (At that small angle I need to pull around 1/3rd of her body weight) If the angle increases another 10 degrees it exceeds half her body weight. Find something to hold on to, a handle of some sort and lean yourself to get an idea before you attempt this kind of move. You will quickly gauge the extent of the forces involved.
Difficulty level:
Flick to an element in the music.
Difficulty level:
Credit to Alistair who can't do a single dance without putting this in.
Difficulty level:
Use when you are getting warm and follower has energy to spare. Leader can lean back and stay on the spot and follower will cover a quarter mile in a few moments.
Difficulty level:
Can be used mid dance or at the end. Make sure you put your leg out - else a tumble will ensue.
Difficulty level:
Easy easy easy, yet lots, shall we say, feign lead and follow.
Difficulty level:
Great dance floor at the rear of the pub.
We have a jolly fine sound system.
Find us on the main A465 nr Bromyard.
The Plough Inn, Stoke Lacy, HR7 4HG
