In this variation the follower simply spins during the final triple step of the move. This is not something that the follower will necessarily expect; in fact, she may be intending to perform a footwork variation. This means that the leader may need to lead the spin more firmly than for a normal spin. The leader can make this lead clear because it is led with both of his hands—the left hand leading a spin as normal, but with his right hand on the follower's side also leading by pulling across to the left.

Welcome to an incomplete book about Lindy Hop.
I wrote the text here five years ago, based on my notes from when I was originally learning Lindy Hop in the mid-1990s. My original plan was to take a large number of illustrative photographs, which would make the bare text much more comprehensible.
However, that was five years ago and I've not gotten as far as taking a single photograph. So rather than waiting any longer, I thought it worth releasing the text as-is, in case it's useful to anyone else.
I'd interested to hear any feedback, but unfortunately I can't promise to do much about it.
And maybe one day I'll get as far as illustrating the book, and creating the originally-intended printed version:
This book is dedicated to the memory of Frankie Manning (1914-2009), Ambassador of Lindy Hop.
