Lindy Hop

The first part of our pairs dance was a turn. First, I would spin around with Bella
and then with Noora. We did this because the first 8 beats of the song were
meant to be free style and we didn’t want to use any of our better moves. The
turn was a nice way to start our dance and it was in the lindy hop style.

The second step in our part was a step and a click. We were standing in a row
and me and Noora were facing one way while Bella was in the middle and was
facing the other way. We did this because it was an easy transition from our
turn and the formation looked good for the audience.

The next part in our dance was me and Noora moving sideways with our hands
down while Bella was in the middle again and was moving her hands up and
going in the opposite direction of me and Noora. After we did 2 beats of it in
one direction we went the opposite direction and also swapped which way our
hands were going. We did this because we were still in a row and therefor had
an easy transition. This certain step also worked with the music and was a few
beats before the music got faster.

In this part of the dance we did three sets of kicks in unison. We kicked out in
front of us with one leg first, then the other and then with the first leg again
but kicking it to the side after kicking it forwards. We did this in unison because
it looked a lot more polished and because it was one of the few moves in had in
unison. We also did it because the music was faster and the kicks were
probably the fast move we had.

The next part of the dance was a lift. First, I would pick up Noora and she would
tuck into my side and then Bella would do the same. We did this because we
wanted to have a lift in our pairs dance and hadn’t had any so far.
The last part of our pairs dance was a three person lift we made up. Both me
and Bella would kneel down on the floor with our knees facing each other.
Then Noora would hold onto our shoulder and step onto our legs. As a finish,
she would jump of and fling out her arms. We did this because the pose looked
good for an ending. The timing also matched up perfectly with the other pair in
our group and therefor no one was standing around doing nothing.

The First part of our group dance was a twirl. Giovanna was with Bella and
Noora was with Isabella. Therefor I was in the middle of the two pairs and was
doing kick and turns. We did this because we had enough people in our group
for two pairs but there was always one person left out. Because of that I
decided to do turns and spins on my own.

In the next part of the dance I moved forwards and the two pairs moved
backwards. Once I was in front I did the kicks again where I kicked my leg out in
front of me and then did the same before kicking my leg to the side again. I did
this because It was simple and it still looked effective without a partner.

The next part of the dance was another lift where I held Noora and turned her
one way while stepping over her. Then I turned her the other way before
letting her jump up and swapping positions with Isabella who had been doing
the same lift with Giovanna. We did this because it looked effective and was in
the lindy hop style. As a bonus, it matched up with the music as well.

The second last part of our dance was a move we made up. Everyone in the
group made a circle around Noora and she spun around to each person before
being pushed to someone else. We did this because we could make a nice
transition from our last move and it was unique and original.
The last part of our dance was in Unison. Everyone stood in a line first before
jumping and kicking our legs underneath us while flinging our arms out. The
transition was smooth because everyone just spread out and moved sideways
and Noora stepped into a free space in the middle. We did this because it was
the best way to end our dance and it was another part of our dance which we
did in unison.
