You don't find "nose-to-nose" makes some uncomfortable?
My main concern is how to acquire that tension/counterweight in a
swing, if you do not lean back.
Let momentum do the work. The way I teach swinging, I tell people
to stand nose-to-nose. Then I tell each of them to take a small
half-step to the left. If they twist, I tell them to go back to the
nose-to-nose and explain that it is critical that they stay facing
the same direction when they move left. Then I have them go into
ballroom hold and start walking forward, telling them to notice how
the pressure of holding each other just naturally forces them into a
circle.
