Lindy hop pointers

A few things that I need to remember when it comes to lindy hop:

Keep my shoulders square
Make sharp 90 degree turns with small steps
Step back, step back
Hold the woman close when doing a lindy circle
Lead with the shoulders. Think of yourself as turning your body, not just your feet.
Think of yourself as throwing the woman out, releasing just before the "5" count
Keep the footsteps low and avoid crossing over
