I fell in love with zydeco music but on this other side of the world (Europe / Hungary / Budapest) I had no chance to learn the dance. So really thanks for this great vid and keep on dancing!
This is what I have been lookin for I have always wanted to learn how to zydeco.. Its not taught here in the North. But I plan to learn it for I might be visiting the South this summer.. Thanks again for posting it!!
Thank you Greg, I found your instructions, very clear and easy to follow. I dance salsa on 1 so am not unfamiliar with quick quick slow timing, although in Zydeco timing (and feel to match the music is a little more bouncy) is the opposite slow quick quick slow break or rock step on 7-8! I got it! Thanks again!
i also think bachata and zydeco have a similar movement. i have done bachata lots but didn't understand how to do zydeco just by observing, until now your video has broken it down for me & i can see the basic underpinning. thank you!!! who is the group doing zydeco version of "lean back" that you had at the beginning of the video? sounds like good stuff
@guyfax Great suggestion and I will do just that. The weight changes are the most important but the tap gives the whole motion and feeling of the dance and style that needs to be clarified. I will post a video clip with this info and possibly other tips. You have a good eye to notice this... -gb
Just search for Frank Nooney Young on facebook and you can shoot him a Facebook message. You will see a picture of him holding an accordion on his page... Just ask him if there is anywhere you can get the Lean Back track or others...
