| Name | Grip | Initial Signal | Description |
| Winder Swizzle | L to R | Winder Signal | Start as for the normal Winder and continue until the man straightens the lady's R arm (8 beats). Now the man retains both hands while inscribing a fast double anti-clockwise spin above the lady's head with his L, with the R hand going to the lady's R hip by the end of the second turn, blocking her (2 beats). In order to stop the lady comfortably, the man should step around the lady clockwise and tense his L arm at the end of the second spin. From this lock position, the man leads a clockwise double spin with his L, dropping his R hand to end L to R. |
| Swan Drop | R to R | No signal | Usually this move comes on the end of an R-to-R double spin. At the end of the spin, the man steps up to the lady, places her R over his head onto his R shoulder, and makes contact between his L and her R hips so that the lady stands in front of him facing his R. The man's L hand has gone to the lady's L hip, but with his elbow high on her back to prevent the lady from dipping backwards. Now the man gives downward pressure with his L on the lady's hip so that both crouch while the lady raises her L knee, keeping her L foot pointed down moving up her R leg, while the man moves his R to the top of the lady's L knee (2 beats). In the meantime the lady has faced the audience, and with her free L arm done something stylish, either vertical, horizontal or on her backside. The man gives Downward pressure on the lady's L knee to signal the exit, so both return to a standing position while the man moves his L to the lady's R hip (2 beats), and pushes her away (catching L to R) (2 beats), for a return.. |
