This unit develops an understanding of various basic positions, and the actions that are taken to move between them and modify them, known as transitions.

Class 1: Standard and Inverted Positions

This class describes the difference between the Standard form of a position and it's Inverted or Mirrored form. It also explains timing for these positions and introduces the concept of orbit, an essential aspect to country swing dancing that distinguishes it from other forms of dance.

Class 2: Tornados 

This class delves deeper into how Standard and Inverted positions interact when combined in a specific method called the Tornado. This also contains a discussion of how spin of a partner and the configuration of a position effect how it flows and interacts with other moves and positions.

Class 3: Basic Transpositions

This class presents a second method of manipulating positions to create new combinations and forms. This type of transition, known as a Transposition is also a powerful tool to modify orbit.

Class 4: Exchanged Positions

This class presents a third method of altering a Standard Position to give a new flavor and feel to a dance. Combined with principles from the previous classes in the unit, students learn how to better modify their dance and give and interpret cues for better communication.

This unit explains how positions relate to and connect to each other, the basis for creating combinations of moves; students will learn even more positions and come to better understand how position interactions change depending on the hand-hold of the dancers.

Class 1: Direct Circuit

This class presents the concept of the Position and Transition Circuit, or the patterns that positions are connected by and can be moved through. This class focuses on the five core Direct Hold positions.

Class 2: Cross Hold

This class presents 2 core Cross Hold positions and applies the various forms of manipulating and altering positions learned in unit 2A, expanding the students options.

Class 3: Butterfly and Cross Circuit 

This class presents the third of the core Cross Hold positions and presents the circuit patterns that exist between all three core Cross Hold positions and their numerous variations.

Class 4: Side and Cross Chains 

This class presents the four remaining methods of hand connection and a basic explanation of the connections and patterns that happen in them.
