Painting based on photograph of Damon Stone and Ruby Red swinging out at a dance at the Cheryl Burke Dance, formerly Metronome Dance Center, in San Francisco. "Swing out" is a term used in Lindy Hop (and other) swing dancing. It refers to the elliptical pattern of partner dance where the follow typically swings towards and then away from their partner. What I love about the feeling in this picture is that you can sense the flow of the dance, the connection between Damon and Ruby, and almost hear the music!
