"swing moves"
"Passos de dança"


Explanation:
É muito comum falar em "passos" de dança, por exemplo. Hoje em dia o termo também está em alta. Seja para um funk carioca, cujos "passinhos" tem os nomes mais diversos, seja para o foxtrote, usa-se o termo "passo", no diminutivo ou não. Então "killing swing move", poderia ser traduzido como "Passos de dança irados", ou apenas "passos irados".

Example sentence(s):
  • "Vou te ensinar uns passos irados para você arrasar na festa".

Asker: Rafael, não é exatamente "passos de dança", que seria "dance steps" em inglês.
