 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.
