    Learnt from just watching the videos. Aaron and kristina are very good instructors . Both are very fit and good looking. Unfortunate that trolls prefer to make nasty personal comments. Even more unfortunate that they are no longer in New York.

    Excellent jive tutorial and both great dancers. I always regret not learning these steps when I was younger back in the 50s and 60s. Thank You so much for a great video. Barrie Owen UK.

    I'm watching this as a 33 year old lonely male, just because I hope to overcome the fear to dance on the next wedding I attend. Women always ask me but I have to decline because I'm too fearful of dancing in public and also because I'm actually so lonely that it hurts to be physically close to someone. I just can camouflage my loneliness well.

      I don't usually reply to youtube comments, but 1) proud of you for facing your fears head on and 2) in my own experience, I used to *hate* parties because I always felt awkward. Started doing dance and I'm way more confident and I love going out now-- even if you mess up, just keep moving and you'll have a great time! Look for social dance clubs in your area too! It's a bit scary at first because some people are quite good but everyone is always super patient and welcoming and it'll really help you put yourself out there :) Good luck!

      Okay but you shouldn’t be ashamed of that at all. What I just heard is that you are taking steps to learn a new skill, overcome fears, better your life and have fun. That sir, is time well spent! And as a 28 year old girl, the chicks’ll dig it! ;)

      I was in a similar boat myself. As a kid, I was always fearful of dancing in front of people at all, let alone in public. But what made it even worse was when my friends and classmates at daycare would play music in the classroom and start dancing to it. It's not that I was against them doing this, but they'd even try to force me to join in even after I told them no several times and they wouldn't leave me alone. Even the teachers would do the exact same thing sometimes instead of telling the other kids that they need to leave me alone. However, I did eventually overcome this fear by starting out with dancing at home and then dancing in public when I'm ready, so I'd definitely recommend doing that because it is worth it. Once I started dancing in public, not only was it not embarrassing like I expected, but I found a new hobby I enjoyed.

    Please make a video comparing contrasting this step with the Jive step. They look essentially the same. I know the dances vary in the style of how one moves the body etc but it’s very similar and basically the same count.

    @Timetraveler1111MN 5 років тому +1

    I’m no expert but from what I learned the way you’re stepping is different then a swing basic, also the angle of the foot definitely showing and hers seems angled behind her foot when you say you’re stepping back her foot should be forward and stepping behind her not angled like Latin dancing.
    She probably can’t help it because she is trained probably very well as all kinds of dancing and those are like Latin dancing shoes 👠

      V necks and good posture on a man elongates the neck, opposed to a crew neck t shirt. He also has even skin toning, which may be a factor.

    how does one dance in heels. I think it hurts just standing, so moving so much for that long must hurt bad.

    • @TPSMB
      @TPSMB 8 років тому +1

      you have to get used to walking/standing/etc first when you wear heels, after a while they stop hurting as bad and you can stay in them for a longer time. dancing in heels is no different, you have to get used to it, usually if you're a dancer its easier to for you to adjust because you're already constantly straining your feet and testing your abilities.

    This is not swing basics these are jive basics swing basics are completely different for the ladies they step back on their right foot and than bring their right foot to the side and rock their hips from side to side and repeat I have being doing ballroom dancing for over 2 and a half years so I know the different between a jive and a swing and this dance they are showing is the jive not the swing trust me!!!

      Well I am Australian and I live in Australia and I go to marshere studios in Ringwood marshere is a franchise so there are quite a few around Victoria and at all the marsheres that is called the jive not the swing the swing is a completely different dance it may be because I am Australian or it may be marshere itself they may teach swing completely different to everywhere else I don't know but all I know the so called east coast swing is auctully the jive at my dance studio cause that is what my dance teachers taught me and the swing is completely different!!!
