    in less than 4 min I learned more than I had when searching other videos for hours, wish you could have danced to music at the end to put it all together

      Glad you enjoyed it. These days, I recommend just treating that fwd/back "basic" as just as exercise so you can remove it from your dance vocabulary sooner than later. It's stunted students' dance growth.

    I love this video. It’s the best I’ve ever seen. I just heard of lindy. Watching you, I’m obsessed. Can’t wait to practice. You’re amazing.
    Apparently, there is a group near that lindy. So I’ll practice before I go in.

    • @swingindenver
      @swingindenver  Рік тому +2

      awesome, I'm happy you really like. A quick word of caution, please don't practice that forward and back thing too often. It's good as a rhythm drill, but it's had the side effect of stunting people's lindy hop growth. One of the reasons is because of all the changes in direction. It kind of goes against lindy hop's natural momentum, so I have some regrets teaching it so often in the past.

      Awesome. I'm not sure what Lindy Hop is near you, but there are beginner online courses here: www.ilindy.tv/?via=kennydelilah and you could reach out to our OC friends at Atomic Ballroom to see if they know anyone in your area.

    Jeezuss! Was the camera operator having a seizure?! Or were they trying to do the steps along with the instructors? It's hard enough to learn a step when the camera ISN'T moving.

      If you're looking for a steady cam experience, I'd recommend searching tutorials or going to iLindy. Avoid recaps and don't do that fwd/bk step we teach in the beginning

      Something slower like a breakdown of all the steps would be great, thanks! I just went to a free Lindy hop workshop for beginners last night and I coudn't and still can't get the basic footwork right especially the backwards triple step. Either I'm too slow or I'm just really uncoordinated (or both). -_-

      Some options would be to slow down the beginning of this video (ua-cam.com/video/a5nWPQyK0YA/v-deo.html) by hitting the gear button on the video or checking out this video dedicated to footwork (ua-cam.com/video/LT2z8tGaW04/v-deo.html) and also slowing it down.
