Thank you - this was just what I needed to do tonight! I'm amazed how many of these I know but just can't do comfortably compared to last time I saw this video. There is hope for me yet.
Thank you so much for this! Using it as a big help with learning at our early morning Brighton Beach Charleston Club Look us up on F' book and if you're ever in England, come dance with us on the beautiful Brighton Bandstand!
Impressive list of steps. Kudos to all of you! I did noticed some differences in names of some steps. Crossovers = Mambo step (Mambo walk) Opposites = Shouts Pushes = actually a combination of Pushes and Crossovers, may also be called Pushovers
Thank God you guys grabbed Chester because I don't know who gave you some of the names you posted. While its nice to see the influence of authentic jazz dance live on. Its always interesting when other cultural communities falls in love with and begin practicing and educating that cultural identity without the social cultural experience, history and heritage. The influence leads to appropriation, leads to approximation and assimilation and communities are often lost, names are changed, as values and aesthetics become commodified. The responsibility of a culture is for that cultural to safe guard its intangible cultural heritage and if they don't others just have to be okay with that.
It's funny because I started in breakdancing and now have moved into swing...and I see a lot of uprock moves (just performed with a different attitude) here. :) Very cool. Thanks!
Fun! I love how much things change, yet stay the same. :) What you call cross kicks I call Falling off the log, and I forget exactly what your falling off the log is other than a swivel pas de bouree (ballet term). Also your cartwheel is a wagon wheel, at least in Appalachian clogging terms. The heels too is an appy clogging term, I think called Barnyard slide (IIRC), but also because it has a slide component to it (that you don't do). The scissor kicks are a little like the Yellow Brick Road step, and the triple steps are like sailor shuffles, but not quite. Didn't realize the difference between Truckin' and Skating tho, so that's really cool. Thanks for this!
That's great! But my english isn't my language and I can't understad many terms...Where could I read the names of all these steps? Thank you for this video, I think is very helpful :-)
Hello, I really like what you've done. Where are you based out of? I'm a social dance historian and it's interesting to note the terms used as well as modern interpretations..this is why I'm curious as to your local. Your Apache page had an excellent compilation of video sources, good job and I appreciate that you are digging into original period sources. Me and a colleague will have to go through this is some detail and start discussing period boogie step terminoly. Keep it up!
This is confusing. I don't understand a lot of steps, because sometimes you are not doing them on time or in the same way. Don't get me wrong, it's really fun to watch and i'm glad i found it. I would love some more specific detailing on them.
Thank you - this was just what I needed to do tonight! I'm amazed how many of these I know but just can't do comfortably compared to last time I saw this video. There is hope for me yet.
Great how the dancers by the sides watched carefully to match the step.
The three angles and list of each move is awesome. Thanks so much for this reference!

Awesome video! So educational! Thank so much!
Wow, this is amazing! Finally a collection of the most important Jazz steps! Thank you so much guys!
Thank you for putting this on the internet!
That was one of the best dance move video's I ever seen, good job.
This helps me a lot, with the dance project I am doing. ... The "Skate" & "Truckin" Looks like the same move by the way! (Based on the video)
I did some workshops with Dax and Sarah last weekend and they called "opposites" shouts.
Great work! Thank you!
wowie in a 1 shot movie! nice!
Thank you so much for this!
Using it as a big help with learning at our early morning Brighton Beach Charleston Club
Look us up on F' book and if you're ever in England, come dance with us on the beautiful Brighton Bandstand!

I did noticed some differences in names of some steps.
Crossovers = Mambo step (Mambo walk)
Opposites = Shouts
Pushes = actually a combination of Pushes and Crossovers, may also be called Pushovers
That was awesome! I think I'm gonna show it to my class for school and maybe learn some of those xD
Awesome 😎
Thank you so much.
Thank you guys, you are amazing!))))
This is such a great resource for leaning Jazz moves! Thank you Stewart and others! :)
for the cartwheel, I have always heard it was called helicopter
thank you for this video!

I love this!!!
this is so amazing funny stuff to learn different Dancestyles,i love it,i wish u can teach me in Germany,thank you....
This was awesome! Thank you!
It's funny because I started in breakdancing and now have moved into swing...and I see a lot of uprock moves (just performed with a different attitude) here. :) Very cool. Thanks!
Maravilloso 👏👏👏,son demasiados, pero debo aprender. Gracias
I think the "cross kicks" is a variation of falling off the log
Fun! I love how much things change, yet stay the same. :) What you call cross kicks I call Falling off the log, and I forget exactly what your falling off the log is other than a swivel pas de bouree (ballet term).

Thank you for this amazing tutorial, love how you showed the moves from different angles
Lovely video. I've always known 'opposites' as 'shouts'.
thank you so much!!!! it's awesome:)
weel done guys now you have to do jazz steps 3 whit MUSIC!!!
I suggest north south east west or compass moves
I've known 'Opposites' as 'Shouts'.
AWESOME - this is great inspiration !!
- random lindy hopper from vienna
you guys are great!!! :))
THANK YOU!
Great video I've hear "opposites" called "four corners"
8:23 i hope that guy knew what lindy hop is
of all the moves the random guy could come in, he comes in while they are spanking the baby. 8:20
Holy crap! Thank you! I don't know how to internet! :(
Plaing great. Some terms may vary, but so do they in different locations, ain't they? Where's part One? Отличный словарь шагов
Coule you add the names of the steps lire you did in the vidéo 1 ? It would help non english speakers 🤗Thanks ! Great idea to add the back and side
I think the Opposites might also be called Shouts.
hi!!!I have a question. As the video shows the cake walk, the jig walk and the struttin is the same step?
That's great! But my english isn't my language and I can't understad many terms...Where could I read the names of all these steps? Thank you for this video, I think is very helpful :-)
I like the final jump at the very-very end of the clip, watched it few times :)
Cool!
Someone should put in time marks for all the moves for quick reference.
We call 'opposites' just 'back-forward-side-to-sides' :)
turkey trots?? ...or running man! lol :)
You should check the description. You might be happy to find out what's in there.
Great job! Is the James Brown a jazz step or a blues thing?
Amazin'!
the guy in the black pants makes me giggle for some odd reason!
opposites are called naughty nannies!:)
Odd how you really don't move your hips! It's actually harder to do it that way!

At the time of this recording, Stuart was based in Philadelphia, PA! He's since moved to the West Coast, sadly - we miss him!
Forrest Outman
LindyandBlues Thanks for the info!

What Vera Said!!!
I know what I am doing for next 2 weeks.
Hi, where did the name Drunken Sailor (at 3:39) come from? Is this your own creation or is it authentic? Many thanks :-)
That is not what I know as a Hallelujah.
Pimp Walks?
"Cross Kicks" are called "Nike J's"
08:30 What the hell are you doing*
skirts instead of opposites
Personally, I prefer the name "Hip Sways" for "Opposites".
well james brown, is more of a shuffle, dont think its part of jazz or blues though.
This is confusing. I don't understand a lot of steps, because sometimes you are not doing them on time or in the same way.
Don't get me wrong, it's really fun to watch and i'm glad i found it. I would love some more specific detailing on them.
The fun is getting to figure them out! :)
This is a horrible example of what jazz steps should look like.
funny!!
and Better
💃💃💃
Thumbs up if Sam Rockwell sent you here.
