Slowfeet Studio | Slow Bal with Deirdre
Netherlands
Приєднався 15 чер 2018
Deirdre Schoemaker started her dance studio out of love for slow dancing to jazz music. In 2019 Slowfeet Studio in Rotterdam was born to bring the joy of Slow Bal to as many dancers as possible. Slow Bal (short for Slow Balboa) belongs to the swing dance family. It's not as well-known as Lindy Hop and Balboa. By making most of our videos accessible for everyone, we hope to spread the love and inspire other dancers.
Nowadays Deirdre is travelling in The Netherlands and in Europe to spread the joy of Slow Bal in Swing dance communities. So if you are interested in Slow Bal workshops, contact her on one of the social media channels or email info@slowfeetstio.nl.

Slow Bal Improvisation with Deirdre and Joost (playfulness, rhythms, body movement, variations)
Переглядів 9114 днів тому
Spotlighting an improvised Slow Bal dance with you today ❤️. What I really enjoyed in this dance is that Joost and I were both playing around. Playing with shapes, rhythms, body movement, connection and our dynamic, which is something unique between us. 🙏 Like I said, we were just having a dance, fooling around. And that state of mind always brings us joy, and sometimes also cool (new) moves an...

Great tips, thanks!!!
Hi Pia, thank you for your message ❤. Ive been planning to make a video sharing how it actually went, but havent gotten to it yet. In the end it was a lot of fun, but mainly thanks to some sweet advices. I tried to focus on the dancing, having fun, tuning in to my partner, and forgetting a bit about the whole competition. So I ended up having fun, enjoying my dances. I ended up being second in the M&M!
Dear Deirdre - i can relate so much with your thoughts and feelings about this!! Like a 100 % Personally i struggle often with Performance Pressure during Social Dancing🙈 - sometimes it is heavy. I am a Person that can enjoy and let go, but these situations sometimes kinda block me - (which does not mean that i don't have fresh, relaxing, bold dances as well - 😅🥰🙏🏼) Please tell me more now that you've experienced it about the Mix & Match - Could/Did you enjoy it? Thank you for your Content! You inspire me to learn some more Slow Bal and to try Back Leading or taking Space and giving ideas in - in general.. thank you so much!!! 💜💜💜 Pia
It is!! She was my lovely partner (and roomie!)
Oh it’s Elizabeth!
Ah, monthly grocery list 🙃
Thank you for this supportive and helpful message and for helping share ideas and resources to further the groth of this wonderful dance online as well.
🤩 so lovely
I have to try this exit! Nice work!
❤❤so beautiful!❤❤
Is there any move for stealing other’s leader? 😜
Yes, most of the stealing moves can be done with both leaders and followers. In this case, a second follower could easily move towards the left side of the lead, connect and close the connection :D
Do you have an Online class?
Unfortunately no, not yet!
Qué manera tan deliciosa tiene ese caballero para conducir a su pareja de baile,lo adoro
Gracias, se lo pasaré.
Nice!👌🏽
Chandler, you're such a good dancer, how come we've never danced before? Probably Phoebs, because you're always trying to lead. Not my fault, everybody's always trying to tell me what to do and I have my own path to follow. And my name's not Phoebe it's Princess Consuela Banana Hammock. All's fair I'll be Dirtbag then. Oh, hmm , after we get through with this song can we dance to smelly cat? Is that a crack at my bad dancing? No no, I can clean it up and make it a swing song. 0h, ok then ... and diiiiiiip. 🕺💃 😁
Thank you for this great video. If I am correct, in the slow out - which starts out as a circle - 7-8 triple step gets replaced with a step and hand switch. Is this correct? Dank U
Hmm, if I understand you correctly, then I think it's a little bit different. We start out with a come around (or circle) with a step step - triple step. Then on 5 the hand of the lead switches to the side. On 6 build up stretch. 5 and 6 are both a step step. On 7 and 8 is the rotation for the follow with a triple step (leads also triple step). Does this help?
@@SlowfeetStudio thank you for clarifying everything. Looks like I need to work on my come-around to get more rotation. It was very helpful. thanks again.
It helps a lot indeed to have a good rotation. Think about moving from the upper body, rather than your feet (they will follow). Have fun practicing!❤
Hi there, I am Faruk, an SEO expert. I researched your UA-cam channel for a few days. Your videos are awesome, but I can see that your videos are not ranking on UA-cam's top, struggling to gain subscribers, views and engagements. Upon review, I noticed that your channel and videos lack optimization, particularly in terms of SEO. Its current SEO score is 20 out of 100! which is lower than standard, hampering its exposure to a broader audience. Can we have a short meeting about issues with solutions?
goed gedaan. Tellen integreren in je moves is wat wij muzikanten sowieso doen. mooi trouwens dat je dit doet bij langzamere tempi
Thanks! leuk om te horen!
You have lovely stocking toes ❤
so important to know/feel while dancing! very helpful, thanks:)
Have fun hitting that one ;)
What music is this?
😍
She is dressed so nicely and he wearing faded jeans
Ha, I know, But this is Joost. Everyone should wear what they are most comfortable in :)
Nice skirt!
Thanks!

Soo care to explain your numbers? :D Love to hear what you mean by them.
the dancers at 1:50 of the video did a movement that I wish to revisit. I sure didn't mean to pollute the "comments" opportunity with my personal notation 🥲@@SlowfeetStudio

love it! Especially the sassy ending💁♀
Hahaha thanks!
Very beautiful and amazing good idea to save the pantyhose nice looking legs in shiny black pantyhose
while dancing try on some tights a heavier denier but worth it after washing many cycles and not as easy to make toe holes. try not to pull up so much on the toe area while putting them on and leave allot of room in the heel area might help and dance to the rythem or have a easier lead while synchro with dance partner . Don’t be so far behind on tempo which thorws thing of like shoe adjustment step to the beat and know the patterns on beat. much easier flow and enjoyment. please don’t throw pantyhose away you can use them for many things around the house too when your finished or give them to me i’ll recycle them for you. 🙂
Wow you look amazing in the leather skirt. There's nothing more sexy than a tight black leather skirt, with black pantyhose or stay up hose and heels.
Love it ❤
Thanks! ☺
Called long arm toss out in regular balboa
You know, that makes sense! I'm always struggling with what to call moves. So I think I will change the name of this video 😃
😍😍
DEIRDRE DO YOU NEED A FOOT RUB TOO THIS IS JOEY THE PANTYHOSE MAN DO YOU LOVE TO PLAY MONOPOLY AND UNO TOGETHER TOO
You needed someone to point out these exist ?! Also correct me if I'm wrong : these are stay-ups, right ? As in : they stay up by themselves. Versus hold ups, as in : they need to be held up by a garter belt. A lifehack from my grandmother : she used to cut out the crotch of her tights and wore her undies over them, so no hassle when she visited the ladies room : she merely had to drop her undies like when you do without tights.
Ha, well, I knew they existed... but I always thought that the silicon band would not be good enough to stay up. And the one where you wear the jarretels seemed to be too much of a hassle. Sooo yeah. Could be just me. But for me it was a 🤯 moment 😃. And your grandmothers lifehack sounds very smart! Although I do wonder if it would make the fabric more likely to tear.
@@SlowfeetStudio No tear when you cut on the inside of the crotch's seam. ;-)
I prefer the slow dances. You get closer and you stay there longer. Nothing more romantic with the right song and partner.
On the holdups to really get the band secure on the leg, spray/sprtze some hair spray on your thigh where the stockings will be Wait like 2 or 3 minutes then put on
Thanks for that extra tip!!
Perfect 🎉
It was fun!
Beautiful place 😍
Great liistening to music in relaxing day. I do it and feel it is my own time. And thank you for the advise , interesting that doing the relaxing fact, help us to dance better
Thanx for doing this interview
Thanks for showing your appreciation!
Beautiful :)
Thank you!
Thanks for your message ❤. Even though it is debatable how much of this is Slow Bal (Music is not swing and the steps are made to fit the music and the couple), I did use my Slow dance / Slow Bal skills to create something for them. And we definately had a lot of fun during the lessons, which you can see back in their smiles on the dance floor 😊
As much as I love my Lindy, Balboa and Collegiate Shag and they all have their time and place I think given the nature and spirit of the dance I think Slow Bal is the perfect foundation for a bride and groom on wedding day. This couple looks like they are loving their first dance and what you showed them from the world of slow bal but as Micky said this dance has a romantic character so its a natural fit. Great work
Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much.
Paddles
Hahaha oops, thank you. I will change it 😁
Haven't been dancing in a very long time. I sincerely miss it.
Sorry to hear that :(. I hope you will be able to get back on the dance floor!
Great demos! Watching here in Tulsa OK :-) BTW who does this song? Thanks
Thanks! great to hear that you appreciate them :D. The song is Si Tu Vois Ma Mère by The Bailsmen
I appreciate all these mini lessons!
♥ Thanks for telling us, very much appreciated!
