There are some excellent dances that have a swing which ends in the middle of a phrase (Hexitation springs to mind straight away for me).  It is a skill worth learning and helps teach the dancers about musicality.

(Actually I wrote one yesterday, before I saw this discussion!) :-)

            Happy dancing,
