I came here looking specifically for a video on sugar foot swivels and on back walks and points, both of which are mentioned in the description, but not demonstrated. It would be really nice if the video could be updated with the last three steps mentioned. It would also be very helpful to see videos of the silver figures in American style.
I am thinking that when I see the Silver level of this American swing syllabus, I am guessing - only a guess - that the 40s Charleston kicks (yes, the "rock step kick....double kick" thing) and some of its variations might be included, and probably the Outside Partner/Partner Outside Kicks (which includes at least one single kick-through in closed offset). This is because some of the Lindy Hop moves also appeared in the Bronze level swing (like the Whip).
This is called Triple Lindy swing - aka East Coast Swing (Triple). And amazingly, the American "American Spin" in swing also appears in International Jive. - almost with the same technique and timing!!! Continuous Tuck-In Turn is a bit like the Chugging variation in International Jive. The Hitch Kicks are a bit like the Flick-Ball-Change in International Jive due to its syncopated timing of the hitches.
I think the Sugar Foot Swivels are similar to the International Jive counterpart - four "quick" back walks in PP followed usually by the 4 kicks, right?
Coming to this video late and mostly answering for others who want to know: this style of dance is basically a watered-down perversion of actual swing dance, but with any concept of actual swing removed. In a very literal sense, this is the worst kind of cultural appropriation.
These quickie once-through-ony videos are a GREAT time saver! Thank you for all of the videos. Please also put up the silver and gold levels!

Will a video for moves #13-15 be posted? Thanks!
Hmm, numbers 13 - 15 seem to be missing from the video, how come?

Your counts and body movements aren't swung at *ALL.*
