I completely agree with the others who have responded. The world needs more dances with fewer swings. I love swinging but I love other moves as well.
If a dance has something like "Partner Balance & Swing, Circle Left 3/4, Neighbour Swing" then my immediate reaction is that that is half the dance gone already and it has nothing interesting in it. We've all done that a thousand times. Let's have some variety! Once you break out of the need for two swings in a dance you can use the space to create much more interesting choreography.
