Hi all,
You should NOT need to support the other person in a Swing. If
they are pulling away, leaning back or leaning sideways then take away your
connection until they take responsibility for their own weight and balance.
The shoulder-blade connection is purely to counteract centrifugal
force. That is not normally a lot of force, so it shouldn’t make you tired. I
Swing fast all night and never get tired arms because, having damaged
shoulders, I never let the other person make me support them.
I completely agree that the Rightie shouldn’t try to reach the
Leftie’s shoulder-blade. See six reasons why at

For good Swing technique please see

Not everyone agrees with everything I say (but I think physics
does!). :-)
Happy dancing,
John
