SwingSwingSwing is on a distinguished road
If this move is what I think it is (First Move Triple Steps i.e step back, step in, pivot out, triple step, triple step, rock step, and then finish as per First Move), then once you get the hang of it, you won't even need the arm movements to signal this move. All you need to do is lead the follower into putting her weight onto her right foot by keeping a firm right arm round the follower's back and (clearly) change your weight onto your left foot.

You don't need to do triple steps either, you can just do a single step.

If you can do this then you're essentially doing the "basic" move of many forms of swing dancing (East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop, Jive etc).

Then if you keep it going and start thinking "triple step, triple step, rock step" all the time, the next thing you know you are swing dancer!
