Sorry!
The default for me is that a Give & Take always ends up in a swing, so I
don't write it down in my dance description database.
And it is interesting to note that Larry Jennings, acknowledged as a
choreographer who used Give & Take a lot (his second book uses this
phrase as the title), preferred that the first part of this move only
take 4 beats of music: 2 beats forward, another 2 beats to back up,
and then a 12 beat swing. Makes for a longer/zestier swing, which Larry
loved!
Thanks for the clarification. Always something new to learn!
