Lindy Hop is a Black American artform; knowing more about its cultural heritage will help you appreciate what you're learning so much more. Here are a few resources to get you started.
The History and Culture page on our website includes a series of short videos that give you an introduction into important topics in the history of Lindy Hop:

The Lindy Hop and Anti-Racism page is about where we are now as a global Lindy Hop community and what you can do to honour the culture of the dance, plus links to other organisations actively working on these issues so you can find out more and support them:

Would you like to learn all of these moves (and more!) from home? We filmed it for you!
6 full classes of our Swing 6 course (as well as all the others) are available at bit.ly/swingstep-TV
We also have separate courses for leaders and followers to improve your skills if you don't have a partner to practice, and their first classes are available for free :)
this video series is perfect! cute, smart, a good reminder for experienced and also as a guide for a starter... I hope new ones come soon! :)
Thank you Caner!
We were filming it to show the content of our regular courses, so there was no plan to keep filming them :) However these days it is impossible to have regular classes, so we filmed all of our courses and they are now available online as proper classes that you can take from home :)
If you'd like to have a look, check swingstep.tv
We also have some special courses there that you will not see in this video series, for example Musicality or Skills and Drills for leaders and followers. The last two are separate courses, so you can practice at home on your own. The first class is available for free :)
Hope you will find something of interest for you (and maybe your friends? :))
The second song looks lile a whole new dance to me. Is this still lindy hop or are these different courses?
The second song is a fast one, and Anna and Slava are dancing Charleston steps to it. Different footwork and a bit different groove than the first song, but Lindy Hop is a very rich dance and both are a part of it. In fact we often mix these two things within the same song while we're social dancing 😊

What's the last turn called at 0:47? When the leader jumps and does like a outside turn with a break.
it's a tuck turn, not sure what to call the variation
Bit late, but I'd call it a "quick" tuck turn. For leaders, I would say the focus is the on the lead's upper body twist before the turn, which allows you to prepare it in two beats. Once you get your frame and timing right you can use these in lots of places.
Hey! :)
Yes, it is a quick tuck turn, as mentioned in the comments above. We call it a "tuck-tuck turn", as it fits the rhythm of the movement on 1-2. And as Jose pointed out, the trick is in the upper body :) But also both leaders and followers need to use their arms properly to go up and down.
We have all the movements described in our online videos. You can check them on swingstep.tv
Maybe you will find something that suits you :)
