This video tries to show you some of the basics steps used in longboard dancing. It starts at the absolute basic level and works a little bit up to some more advanced steps. But still, almost everything is based on the simple cross-step. No fancy board manipulation or technical wizardry. Just walking on the board.
I hope you will use this as a guide and as an inspiration to go dancing. It's really not that hard!
Board: Simple Platypus, Randal 180's, Orangatang 86a Stimulus

Can we just take the time to appreciate the quality of this 9 year old video? That and how much it teaches without much verbal instruction. This is insanely well made.
Thanks so much for your kind words. This video inspired a lot of people
This is perhaps the most attractive thing I've ever seen anyone do. How is he so graceful?!
lots and lots and lots and some more lots of training i guess
@@mercylessplayer its actually pretty easy to learn took me about 1 month of going two day a week. To learn most of these
100% agreed! Made me solidify my interest in long dancers 🤘🏻🇨🇦
this dude is chill af, met him once in eindhoven at the "so you can longboard dance?" meeting and had a nice time talking with him about longboard dancing and live. very sensual and humble person with a superchill attitude

thanks
Thank you brother
i guess I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch new movies online?
@Jose Elisha Flixportal :D
One of the best (maybe *the* best) and most enjoyable instructional videos ever, including a huge range of subjects. Mesmerizing.
yup! I couldn't say it better myself! ! Awesome.
+Thirak ~ I agree. I actually looked them up because of this video, and added a few of their pieces to one of my playlists.
I wish I can find a street like that with absolutely not cars, near me :(
Right? Something with some reasonably smooth concrete at least
Parking lots or garages in the evening/night are the move 💯
or like generally outside of any city.
been dancing for a couple years and i still come back to this for inspiration :)
same here
Same
I watched this video 2 years ago. It inspired me to get a longboard. It's crazy watching this today and being able to actually do the same steps. Thank you man. Much love.

God, there is such a beauty to this. I honestly consider boarding to be an art. It's so free, it's so fluid. It truly is land surfing.
You make it look so easy :) Thank you for making the video!
Holy shit that board is flexy
The best longboard dancing tutorial I've ever seen mate. You made that simple. Congrats.
I abolutly love your style,every step looks so smooth.... it's relaxing to watch you. (Sorry for my bad english) Greets from Germany
Deutsch
jan lange
was deutsch?
Carolina Kaes ich finde es nur immer lustig wenn man deutsche unter englischen vids sieht... Aber ich Stimme dir vollkommen zu! I think this style is really cool and relaxing.(Bad english, From germany :P)
your english is actually really good! but a little correction is to say greetings from germany if you want to say it again. anyways, you are so right, he is so graceful and amazing to watch
Die deutsche Dancing Community sollte größer werden und enger zusammen kommen XD
This is insane! You make it look so simple
ahah, I get it
This must feel so gratifying to finally be able to do this comfortably
the reason i love this style of longboarding is because it just looks so laid back and fun!
I could watch this all day it's perfect. Makes me hate this rainy weather rn though.
Been longboarding for two years, found this video and decided to try something new - By now I've learned the cross-steps (both) and the sex change. It's tough and you'll lose your balance sometimes but this video has helped me an enormous amount. Good luck, future dancers!
This is the best dance tutorial I have found so far! You are really awesome and I can't wait to try this stuff out.
cant get enough of this! This is so well done! different angles, slow mo, all flowing so smoothly together. Gotta be the best out there. Great Job!
I'm mesmerised whenever I watch this. Definitely therapeutic to watch, tricky trying it on my board - but getting there "Go Learn" 🤘🏻
This guy's movements are so flowing, damn, I'm impressed lol. You deserve the thumbs up!
thanks for making this video. i was really lost in my dancing. I became really adept at cross stepping and peter pans, but I really didn't know how to elevate my skating beyond that until you step by step showed me how to link together these tricks. Thanks, keep up the good work, your work inspires us all.
Been rewatching this for nearly five years now for inspiration thanks so much yall
This is amazing! The amount of repetitions is just perfect to learn, thank you!
This guy is so friggin smooth
thanks man this helped allot most off all because of your relaxed and smooth style of dancing
this is one of the best longboarding videos on youtube.
=== MIRRORED VERSION FOR REGULAR STANCE: /watch?v=Ny0HinD_X0o ===
The amount of flex on that board is amazing
This looks so chilled. Smooth style!
So I ripped this video onto my phone - found a fresh built carpark in Wells, Somerset, England and bought a longboard. Your flow has pushed me in the space of 3, 6 hour days of riding back and forward to push myself to learn smooth cross steps, 180 steps (both step forward step back and step around..like a 360) and I'm on the Peter Pan tomorrow. Thanks man, keep up the good work!
Ps. Alt-J, Phantogram - legends!
I love it! Such a simple, yet effective, way to present a tutorial video. You're going to be getting a lot of repeat views from yours truly until I have all these down!
The mirrored version is a great great great and simple idea ! Perfect!
We here in Rio de Janeiro longboarding love dancing. Let's do a big event during the World Cup and another in the Olympics.
This video has so many beautiful shots.
For sure one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thanks for the video and the instructions
I love to bomb downhills, but your skill and finesse you show while boarding makes me want to learn to dance too... Your peter pans, they make my jaw drop, mate... I would love to watch a tutorial on peterpans by yourself...
Keep on living the love man.
making it look really easy and graceful. nice work!
These steps are for beginners and intermediates
I could move to another level thanks to the taste of wanting to learn to dance
Now focus on freestyle and mesclo the two to see how it goes
Simple Longboards thank the great start that gave me
It was not easy, but got over rss
The best video for learn the basic of dancing, very cool ...
Beautiful video...great camera shots...superb technic and excellent choice in music...subscribed thanks
Quality videography, dope music, graceful skating👌 I was inspired to learn a step & I did before coming back to finish off the video. Big ups!
That was the best video I've seen for learning how to dance over the board, perfectly shot and really good edit and music, simply love it, thnks so much brother.
i started longboarding after watching a dancing movie and it was love at first sight! i couldnt make many moves at the start but now i can make cross steps, switch cross stes, peterpans and others! im trying to learn how to 180 step to backwards 180 step. this move will increase my combos! i will try it soon! thx
I learned pretty much everything from this video. It's great. Thanks a lot!
had my board for about a week now, doing well with cross steps and the peter pan! it's quite the challenge but it makes you really want to master it skillfully
Graceful. Thank you - dancing is what I want to do in the long term, that looks like a beautiful board for it. I think I'll be referencing this video a lot in the future.
@bgiceman7 I don't want to go into details. All that I can say is that I'm really glad we've got so much support from everybody! It really helped us a lot! :)
Looks great. I cross-step my board all day while going straight, pull to rear to snap a turn. Hadn't occurred to me to work my cross-steps into carveable waving turns. Looks like I've got a lot more to learn. Thanks!
Calvin Peck just try to loosen your trucks
Great video, it's totally enough for learning the first few steps. Thanks
This is so wonderful! Love it!
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You're great, guy!
this is so beautifully filmed. Great execution man
It flows so well when he does it
Made me super happy! definitely inspired!!
That's sick dude!! So graceful 😍😍
Check out the compilation of Shove-it and Pivots on this channel. And I'm working on a video of steps. For now, you can also try everything Switch! :)
Yes. Check out the Facebookpage in the description. :)
Beautiful riding style. I will be getting my much loved but little-used board out and learning these moves one by one :)
This video has progressed my dancing so much . I have spent so much hours working on my style. Can we have more of these? Please and thank you.
That's awesome. I really want to become better at dancing and i am going to use this video. I've literally watched it 6 times...

I like that in this video you really see the board worn down from usage compared to a lot of other company’s where they use brand new boards in there videos

I've always felt so limited with ideas for dancing, but wow. Now I've got a lot of new things to try out =]
I favorited your video.
Really help full, focused on teaching, not in grooving. Specially usefull the slow motion repetition of the feet
Really great video. You got great skills and video quality was awesome too. Well done!
yes. for dancing, flex is great! it makes it more springy and lively.
Thank you vor this vid. Well done, inspiring and beautiful.
@billyrobertdavies It's our Simple Platypus. Check the description for more info :)
I've been searching for good videos to learn easy skills to do but it was hard. I'm a beginner but I work very hard! I hope someday I'll be as good as you:) Keep uploading videos! Greetings from a longboard Spanish girl!
So smooth!
You are incredible I got vertigo watching some of that so smooth
:] thank you for the inspiration! can't wait to improve my dancing skills
Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for the video!
i tried and i failed...
It's of course way harder than he makes it look. Keep trying, it will work one day. :)
Paul Merkel thanks
+El Manana There is no fail in learning, just place your feet on every part of your board, so you learn to feel what it's doing and turn a little bit at first, to learn switch ride and so on. Just to be confident on every spot of your board first, that takes some time. Falling off is ok, should learn that too, you'll get more confident after that. Bend your knees and relax, the rest will follow 4 sure
Paul Merkel will it though... :D i cant See whats Not working when i do it myself its pretty frustrating...
Hey its been 5 years.Can you dance how?😂
simply beautiful
Still my favorite person to get trick tips from
loved this! great video!
I'm learning Peter Pan Steps! Thank you so much!
Kisses from Brazil!
