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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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!
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 :-)
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.
The three angles and list of each move is awesome. Thanks so much for this reference!
That was one of the best dance move video's I ever seen, good job.
Great how the dancers by the sides watched carefully to match the step.
Awesome video! So educational! Thank so much!
Thank you for putting this on the internet!
Wow, this is amazing! Finally a collection of the most important Jazz steps! Thank you so much guys!
I did some workshops with Dax and Sarah last weekend and they called "opposites" shouts.
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
Great work! Thank you!
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)
Awesome 😎
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!

This is such a great resource for leaning Jazz moves! Thank you Stewart and others! :)
That was awesome! I think I'm gonna show it to my class for school and maybe learn some of those xD
Thank you so much.
wowie in a 1 shot movie! nice!

Thank you guys, you are amazing!))))
for the cartwheel, I have always heard it was called helicopter
Thank you for this amazing tutorial, love how you showed the moves from different angles
I suggest north south east west or compass moves

this is so amazing funny stuff to learn different Dancestyles,i love it,i wish u can teach me in Germany,thank you....
thank you for this video!
Maravilloso 👏👏👏,son demasiados, pero debo aprender. Gracias
I love this!!!
Lovely video. I've always known 'opposites' as 'shouts'.
8:23 i hope that guy knew what lindy hop is
weel done guys now you have to do jazz steps 3 whit MUSIC!!!
I think the "cross kicks" is a variation of falling off the log
This was awesome! Thank you!
what is different cakewalk and jigwalks? is it actually same thing? plz someone tells me :-O
AWESOME - this is great inspiration !!
- random lindy hopper from vienna
You should check the description. You might be happy to find out what's in there.
you guys are great!!! :))
Someone should put in time marks for all the moves for quick reference.
thank you so much!!!! it's awesome:)
Great video I've hear "opposites" called "four corners"
Amazin'!
I've known 'Opposites' as 'Shouts'.
THANK YOU!
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.
Great job! Is the James Brown a jazz step or a blues thing?
I like the final jump at the very-very end of the clip, watched it few times :)
Hi, where did the name Drunken Sailor (at 3:39) come from? Is this your own creation or is it authentic? Many thanks :-)
turkey trots?? ...or running man! lol :)
hi!!!I have a question. As the video shows the cake walk, the jig walk and the struttin is the same step?

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!
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 :-)
Plaing great. Some terms may vary, but so do they in different locations, ain't they? Where's part One? Отличный словарь шагов
Holy crap! Thank you! I don't know how to internet! :(
We call 'opposites' just 'back-forward-side-to-sides' :)
Cool!
the guy in the black pants makes me giggle for some odd reason!
Odd how you really don't move your hips! It's actually harder to do it that way!
Pimp Walks?
of all the moves the random guy could come in, he comes in while they are spanking the baby. 8:20
skirts instead of opposites
opposites are called naughty nannies!:)
^^^^
What Vera Said!!!
I know what I am doing for next 2 weeks.
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.
That is not what I know as a Hallelujah.
well james brown, is more of a shuffle, dont think its part of jazz or blues though.
08:30 What the hell are you doing*
"Cross Kicks" are called "Nike J's"
Personally, I prefer the name "Hip Sways" for "Opposites".
funny!!
💃💃💃
and Better
Thumbs up if Sam Rockwell sent you here.
