I bet this could be called the Pony Swing, ha. But what I mean by Country Swing isn't this. First I would say it was categorized by "jerking and pulling" and using "stretch" connection to move away from each other. Then I think there was a period where lifts were added into the dance. Right in the middle of the dance and the dance floor. But now I see more of a turn towards "Country Swing Fusion", where moves from West Coast Swing are borrowed and the dance is more slotted.Is this also called the Pony Swing?
Anytime I see "Jerking" I start thinking shoulder injuries. And the line between "pulling" and "jerking"or "yanking" is subtle but real important."jerking and pulling"

Sometimes it doesn't even go with the tempo of the music..and then we add lifts and...Anytime I see "Jerking" I start thinking shoulder injuries. And the line between "pulling" and "jerking"or "yanking" is subtle but real important.
I have similar issues with "pushing" which can become "shoving" with too much enthusiasm leading to loss of balance.
