Reverse Tandem
Frank and Ufuk show an interesting Tandem intro variation they call “The real world Tandem”.
This is a variation on the Chase into Tandem Charleston move where instead of the follower ending up in front of the leader the leader ends up on front.
They also show a nice transition back into “normal” Tandem as well as an exit from Tandem.
p.s. don’t mind the long handshake sequence in the middle.

Charleston moves
Daniel and Gabriella show a bunch of Charleston variations, including side-by-side, tandem & hand-2-hand.
Make sure that during your Charleston you keep the bounce/rhythm going. When in different 30′ Charleston variations like tandem & hand-2-hand for example you always want to keep jumping on the balls of your feet. Think of it like you are always skip roping(jump roping) during every move.
