Swing Dancing/Jitterbug

[llamakin]

this is so sad! apart from the horrible dancing, that girl looks so serious! they aren't even having fun! isn't that the point of swing?

[ddr1166]

intense? no...yea you got the whole pickin up and flippin around part down...but wheres the footwork?? the footwork is what makes the dance great!

[EyeLean5280]

If this is supposed to be the jitterbug, they've got the big moves down, but none of the little touches that make the dance beautiful.

But I don't think they're jitterbugging in the first place.

@EyeLean5280 It's not. Check out Lindy Hop and you'll find what you are looking for.

I'm sorry, this isn't swing dancing. It's actually Hustle with some Aerials.

[bobbyjustbobby1]

another guy using a small girl for aerials. not completely impressive. any guy can do aerials with a slim girl.

JitteryBugger Wow! you learned off of YouTube videos. Thats pretty good. My mom

taught me. So I was dancing since I was about 10 yrs old. I'm 70 and stll dancing. You are doing great.

It helps alot to have light weight leather sole shoes and flex arms at the end of your

turns. It'll look better and be more comfortable. Have fun and keep it up.

Good technique but very sloppy. Practice, practice, practice! You're doing well though and keep up the good work.

Perhaps wear some dance shoes instead of crocs. Might make things easier. And personally I find it really hard to dance in jeans. Leggings will give you more freedom to move.

[hillerm]

You guys are technical, but you're not dancing in time.

[tazmanian1967]

dont worry about bayo hes just jealous you to look like you were having fun thats all that matters and its not as easy as it looks you go guys

[Bayoudancer]

You go to the trouble of learning all those moved, but not interested in actual skills. You're free to do that, but there's much more to dancing, that's especially not so hard on the arms. Invest in some skills, and I bet it'll be even more enjoyable. peace, David, a bayou dancer...

[InionGhost]

Very nice job. :-D You are talented and were clearly having fun. Good for you! I really hope that you will post more dance videos.

[iluvdanc22]

haha, thanks for you comments everyone! We love reading them, but we just do it for fun...and we taught ourselves off youtube videos only about a month before this performance so go easy on us.  And yes, those are pink crocks...why i wore those i'm not sure...but they were comfy :-)

[kutekitty28]

Thanks for sharing your dance. You just need a little more practice, but I believe you know what you are doing. That's what counts.

[Sweetbug74]

Nice aerials, but really, pull those arms in, you'll pull each other's arms out of their sockets. I can't see your feet so I can't really comment on the steps. BUT, if you had fun doing it... that's what counts.

[androo08]

thank you, we did have fun doing it :)

and we're not really into dancing...just doing this for fun

[Marshswing]

yeah, I agree with delerium, please go take lessons. I was fearful for her life a few times.

[heresmystupidname]

ok please don't tell me she was wearing pink crocs? oh dude.

[AbsentAbe]

This is called Country Swing to my knowledge. I personally don't like Country Swing. It is too simple.

[TheGror]

you have fun and that's what dancing should be about actually... nice performance

[bunky24612]

dude guys dont be so mean...you guys are doing great...and its harder than it looks anyway :)

[mandyc104]

they're right, it's not following beat which makes it look sloppy. Good try, but get into the real thing and you'll soar above those moves and have a lot more fun

[delerium0727]

That's not swing dancing! Thant's just a couple of people with too much back weight pulling each other's arms out! GO TAKE LESSONS!!!

[mixngal88]

AHAHAHAHA! I'm jealous of your dancing ability!!! = O 

^_^

[karenheartspiano]

um, that just looks like a bunch of tricks, it wasn't REAL east coast swing.
