We're professional ballroom dance instructors coming at you today from New York City.

我們是來自紐約的專業社交舞蹈老師。

And today we're gonna be talking about a little dance we call "the Swing".

今天要向大家介紹一個稱作 swing（搖擺）的舞風。

Also, what we refer to in the ballroom world as "East Coast Swing".

也就是社交舞界所說的東岸搖擺舞。

So what we're gonna be doing is starting taking a look at the basic action.

因此我們將由基本動作開始介紹。

So gentlemen, let's take apart our footwork.

各位男士們，我們先來看腳部分解動作。

What we're doing, guys, is we're always starting with our left leg.

首先我們都是從左腳開始。

And what we're going to be starting this dance with is what we call a link step or a rock step.

接著，開頭的動作我們稱連步 (link step) 或搖步 (rock step)。

Taking our left leg and rocking it behind.

舉起左腳，搖到後方。

One, two.

一，二。

And then following this up with a triple step action going side, together, side.

接下來是三連步，開，合，開。

And then repeating that with our right leg to our right, side, together, side.

然後再以右腳向右重複三連步，開，合，開。

And then following that up again, rock step, one two three, one two three, rock step.

將以上的步驟連起來做一次，搖步，一二三，一二三，搖步。

Now Kristina is going to demonstrate the ladies' part.

現在克莉斯汀娜要為我們示範女生的舞步。

Alright. So, ladies, we are going to start with our right foot in the rock step.

好的，女士們，我們要以右腳開始做搖步。

So we're going to take our right foot and step behind, replace. That's our one, two.

舉起我們的右腳，踏至後方，換腳，這是一，二。

And then slide to the right, three and four, five and six.

然後滑至右邊，三和四，五和六。

Again, one, two, three and four, five and six.

再一次，一，二，三和四，五和六。

Now we're going to talk a little bit about the different hand holds we're going to be using in the swing.

現在我們要介紹搖擺舞中使用到的不同手勢。

For starters, we're going to be using a bit of a modified hold here from what we're used to in most of our ballroom dances

對於初學者，我們教大家使用這個手勢，從多數社交舞常用的手勢做了小修改。

where gentlemen, we're actually going to place our thumb on top of the lady's hand and bring it down to about waist level.

男生將大拇指放在女生的手背上，並且將手置於大約腰間的位置。

Here, we're also going to be slightly turned out as this dance has a lot of rotational action that we're going to see right away as we rock step, Okay?

我們也會稍微外開，待會做搖步的時候，你會發現這個舞風會有許多旋轉的動作。

Now there are several other types of holds as well.

現在介紹其它的手勢。

We're also going to be using a double hand hold, a single hand hold, and an open position

我們也可以雙手握、單手握、還有開式舞姿。

as well as a handshake hold that you'll see will get us into several more of our advanced patterns.

以及握手的握法，這些會在比較進階的舞步用到。

Now let's take a look at that basic action again together, one more time.

現在我們再一起做一次基本動作吧。

And, one, two, three and four, five and six.

一，二，三和四，五和六。

One, two, three and four, five and six. One, two.

一，二，三和四，五和六，一，二。

And now let's try that with music.

現在我們搭配音樂來試試看。
