What kind of dance involves lifting partner and swinging them around your body?

Question

The girl is held up by the guy and spins her around his body then put her back on the ground. What kind of dance is it?

Answer 1

It is common for Swing, Lindy Hop and alike.
Also, any partner dance that's danced for a show can involve this kind of lift, as long as it is done in a way that fits the style. I have seen it in professional showcases of Latin dances. Also could be a part of a Contemporary routine.

Answer 2

It can be done in Lindy or Jitterbug but this is something you should only do if you have a very good instructor. A person lifting his partner can drop her or hurt your back if you do the lift incorrectly.
All social swing ballrooms dances that I know of do not allow any kind of lifts,
In addittion it is dangerous to those dancing around you,

I am not saying you should not try to learn it. just be aware of the risks and find a good instructor,

I really can't say anything about ballet or other styles of dance where there are lifts.

Answer 3

swing dancing. ballet and many other kinds of dance involve the lifting part if it is incorporated to match the style.

Answer 4

swing dancing, also ballet involves some lifts

Answer 5

I believe it's OK if all of the 4 (or extra) persons worried are joyful.The suggestion is to boost uninteresting lives, but it surely can result in needless comparisons and competitions. What begins as a pleasure pastime will have to no longer result in mental disorders.
