[Callers] American with Style

In his article Colin Hume says that the balance before a swing is "more of a lurch". But I would disagree. My experience is that most dancers do some sort of footwork - they step forward with a 1-2-3 and back with a 1-2-3 or do a step and kick across or anything else they fancy in the way of footwork. What is the general view? What do you teach when you teach a balance before a swing? What do people actually do on the dance-floor?
