  • very nice

  • what these two have is SWAGGER!

  • Why did she scream at 2:41?

  • @ApplePie2luv She bumped into him and had to fudge a move to get out of it.

  • @helloman001 Ok Thanks, it just sounded like she had touched him in an inappropriate place or something, but I that makes more sense.

  • what is the second song?!

  • The WCS here is really neat, love it. The Lindy hilarious and fascinating - one of the most precise WCS dancers out there completely out of her comfort zone!

  • very talented couple, much more enjoyable to watch the dancing with the stars

  • I have to agree with the a** part. Very sex. MAx is absolutly gorgeous.

  • Fun :)

  • Max is awesome, he did only the 1% what he knows. That people around never saw a lindy hopper.

  • So hot, want to touch the hiney

  • Comment removed

  • oh-yea!!! WC done well is SOOOOO sexy!!!

  • One of the funnest dance videos on the net! Bravo, bravo.

  • hihi so cute :)

  • The dancers rock!

  • i think im love with that girl

  • I have watched this more than any video on youtube!

  • try this one..... "Paulo Nutini new release pencil full of lead with Al Minns and Leon James dancing"

  • AcousticBruce - You're not alone!

  • That was hilarious. I looked up this follow doing lindyhop on purpose cause after seeing her westie i was thinkin "man she'd have killer swivels" but boy was I wrong lol! I think she could be an awesome lindy dancer but she has a mental block about it. Awesome west coaster though.

  • i think he was gonna flip her and she freaked. she squealed at the end flip too.

  • this video is super . ym a line dancer and this i to super

  • I love this.. Its great to see the younger generation dancing like this. How long did it take you to learn? How long did you take lessons if you did? I am an country line dancer/2stepper of 12 yrs, so i have some background of the moves. I would love to learn. .

  • West coast swing has quite a number of former line dancers and country dancers (who do, I have to say, rather well) in the dance. They will even play the occasional 2-step at a freestyle.

    Come and join us, it's good fun (but keep up the country!)

  • the women in the black behind you looks familiar is it by any chance Tatiana Mollmann

  • fantasticos los bailes, vaya fenomenos

  • lol Call me crazy but that was that first squeal for? lol

  • Comment removed

  • I love max's composition. There may be better technical leads out there, but he produces some of the most seemless and artistic sequences of moves ever seen, frequently in J&J competitions where it isn't even choreographed.

  • i love this guy, he's a great dancer.

  • @veradread ya max pitruzella is a badass

  • bella figa la tipa

  • Can somebody tell me the name of the second song? The one they use for Lindy?

  • Dancin with a Debutante by Mora's Modern Rhythmists. You'll have to order their cd online to get the song.

  • You guys do it really great...congrats.

    Wich is the name of the first song? the slower one...

    Tank you

  • "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley

  • Thank you, man!

  • I could do that if somebody would play that sexy music while I was standing up. 4 stars.

  • great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • there are so many comments on here, i've just got to add mine...

    i think the lead, max, was amazing in this clip.

    but his follow, jessica cox? her west coast was good, and fun to watch. but her lindy hop has room for improvement.

    i don't mean to sound harsh, but normally girls don't scream when their lead dips them. she has a lot of style, but a ways to go with lindy hop.

  • I'm Patrick. It was only a BJ :(

  • perhaps this is unrelated, but that girl has one of the nices asses ive ever seen

  • God, that is so true...

  • This comment is the most relevant one I've ever read on YouTube.

    For once I'm not being ironic here.

  • @MarcusFenixtheMan

    It related to your libido...But she does have a great one.

  • @MarcusFenixtheMan

    comment totally related...

  • @MarcusFenixtheMan 100% agreed.

  • This is not Ceroc dancing. The first part of the dance is West Coast Swing, and the second part of the dance is Lindy-Hop

  • that move at the end is amazing!

  • did he slip on 00:42 ???

  • Not at all. Meant to look that way but that's actually a move he meant to do.

    Look for some of his other videos around and you'll see him do it many times. Pretty common move actually.

  • Love it!

  • zajebioza :D qrcze ile to trzeba cwiczyc heh swietnie sie poruszaja :]

  • great job! looks like simon from american idol is in the background on the right in a black shirt! lol!

  • supper....

  • I am losing track of how many different types of swing dancing there are: east coast, west coast, lindy, hollywood...I'm about to bang my head against a wall...excellent dancing

  • Balboa, Shag, Charleston, Ceroc... the list goes on :)

  • Ceroc is not a division of Swing. They do sometimes play a swing tune or two at a Ceroc venue, but it's not at all based on the footwork or rhythms that the other variants of swing are. (East Coast, West Coast, Lindy, Shag, Charleston, Balboa etc.)

  • oh? I have never done ceroc, but was told its like wcs and salsa mixed?

  • There are a lot of moves that are evocative of salsa, hair combs, pretzels, lots of spins, but unlike West Coast Swing, Ceroc is not slotted (though it can be... some teachers do specialty workshops in dancing Ceroc in a slotted format) and does not at all emphasize footwork or syncopation. It's great for folks who say, "I have two left feet" because it gets you focusing on dancing with your partner instead of stressing about footwork. Think of it as a gateway dance to other styles.

  • And actually... to avoid confusion... Ceroc is not the name of the dance- it's actually called modern Jive, which when done in various flavors can resemble Jitterbug or Swing. Ceroc a corporate entity that sponsors Modern Jive dance classes and weekenders, around the UK and in a few other countries.

  • HOLA EXCELENTE DESDE LIMA PERU

  • Agree, a video to come back to over and over, and I have. Personally, I think of wcs as smooth, lindy as athletic, and both are great. To me, Lindy's all over the floor, and boy has his way with girl. Wcs, girl owns her dimension ("the slot" - up and back), and the boy has his - he guides, and moves outa' her way. Different count for sure: lindy's eight and wcs is six. Watch again, counting to yourself, and you'll pick it up.

  • that was amazing!!

  • i just want to watch the damn thing

  • they seem so in tueb with eachother. Awsome!

  • One of my favorite videos on youtube... does anyone know the name of the lindy song?

  • Name of song is Crazy by Gnarls Barkley

  • I'd hit it

  • Max is awesome!! It was so apparent that she was scared he was gonna run rings around her and he waited right to the end before he flipped her around! brilliant!!! hehe!

  • Fun time there!!! Very enjoyable....

  • Max is great! Watch him in the ULHS 2006.

  • She is a much better West Coast dancer and he is a much better Lindy dancer. She is too upright for Lindy. Hollywood would fit her style better...but pretty good.

  • Whats the difference between west coast and hollywood?

  • The main difference is that the west coast style is done in a slot--so the dancers are going forward and back on the same line. Hollywood is generally done on a circle and is very upright, like West Coast. Generally, Hollywood is faster. It's was the "white folk" response to what was being done at the Savoy ballroom--a mutation of Lindy Hopping in movies.

  • Oh thanks!!! A friend of mine took me to a dance a little while ago, I attempted Lindy but a guy I met said I would be better at Hollywood. I used to do Ballroom, so maybe it was because my frame is naturally more structured and dare I say stiff?! Coincidentally I have just looked up lessons to learn Hollywood style swing on his recommendation :)

  • That's great. Both Hollywood and Lindy are good to know, it's just a question of wheich you prefer. They are very stylistic and if you have a great chance at a good instructor-learn both, Why not?

  • yeah for swing! good job guys!

  • Hey! Does anyone know the name of the song that they are playing during the lindy part?

  • You are so good! I'm going to learn west coast and lindy it looks so much fun! Name some good lindy hop songs, please? :)

  • a joy to behold.....bring it back PLZ!!

  • That was fantastic!! I'm so impressed. (:

  • hey guy and girlyou are absolut perfect swing and slowly rythm and perfect moove i like the futur dance in south france its verry class i m just practice when are you com in south france for the demo ?

  • @ AcousticBruce - not true. Lindy !> West Coast, and West Coast !> Lindy. Neither one is better, each is an individual, yet related, dance. Which is more complicated will be debated 'til they're gone and forgotten - but while the fundamental skills used in each are very close, the fine tuning is different between the two.

  • he's a much better dancer than she is ... man i wish my boyfriend would try that with me ... *sigh*

  • I like this, and watched it twice. Agree, she's a very nice WCS dancer, but doesn't know how to lindy. He's good at both. She squeals, but not to be cute; he's dancing circles.

  • Er nice WCS dancer??? try one half of the 2nd best rated coupel in the world!

  • Only the 2nd best??? (note the triple question marks) Er yourself. Granted, I lindy, and don't know WCS, but you could show better manners. Better spelling and punctuation too, come to think.

  • On the better manners point you could at least find out who she is before passing comment,the importance you placed on my grammar is not really relevant, you should be concentrating on getting all the facts before posting rather than worrying about how something is written, and besides you obviously understood the post otherwise you would not have commented on it.

  • Don't lose any sleep over it, schnook. Peace, brother, and thanks for the thoughtful response.

  • She is primarily a WCS dancer, but she is also good at lindy. To say that she doesn't know how to dance lindy is incorrect.

  • i might add if you lindy you can do almost anything

    if you tango then maybe everything since it's pure connection

  • First song is Gnarls barkley singing Crazy, Both great dancers, Both one of the best in the world at their respective disciplines....respect

  • Jes, i love you =)

  • her squeeling is so cute! wonderful job!

  • Video quality is dreadful but super dancin' makes up. Enjoyed it.

  • Whats the name of the song in that first dance? Thanks!

  • Max you're amazing.. Hopefully I'll be able to dance nearly as good as you guys someday.

  • great! how long have you been dancing swing?

  • Max is so good

  • NORTH SYDE

  • wow! nice but I think it would have been nice to see on some faster music...

  • forget what I said...nice dancing

  • I have a question, what is the difference between lindy and east coast swing? And, How does lindy and west coast look kinda similar in the step (besides the jumps and kicks)?

  • Lindy Hop is similar to what you see above, but its more athletic looking (typically) and is more complex. It tends to look "rounder" or more eliptical in its 8 count basic. It doesn't have to stay on a slot, like WC. The man and woman's basic steps are different. East Coast is more of a "mirror" dance - the partners usually stay in front of each other and do the same 6 count basic, but start on different feet.

  • I was always told that WCS is essentially Lindy Hop, but with more 6-count patterns, some different stylings, in a slot, and usually different music.

    I was a lindy hopper who never tried WCS until a friend from work dragged me off to where her friends practiced. All were long-time WCS-ers. I was pulled onto the dance floor and was able to follow everything. It didn't feel much different. The differences seemed like a matter of styling. It was fun, though.

  • if you can do lindy than you can do WCS... its not as easy the other way around.

  • Very true. You can actually see up above: she looks very uncomfortable and almost akward in Lindy - she still tries to butt wiggle in weird places in her basic & her posture is a WCS posture. She prances a bit & doesn't connect to the floor, and doesn't know what to do with the music. He, however, looks comfortable with both, & in each looks grounded, with good posture appropriate to the dance. Its fairly easy to WC your Lindy - de-Westifing your Lindy is harder.

  • Good to know, Bruce. I've been having trouble with the local Lindy scene. They're stuck in the early 20's. Charleston and early jazz pervasive and they look at you funny if you want to hear boogie woogie or anything that isn't traditional early jazz. I'm getting tired of it after two years in this scene. I spent a few years in LA and SF, and they spoiled me, I guess. ;) My heart is with Lindy, but I feel the need to get out and dance. I'm seriously considering checking out the westie scene.

  • I agree. It's all about how many beats per minute someone can dance. Megaphone music...yuck! Who cares? There is almost no where to go in SF to Lindy on the weekends. I just got back from Boston where the Lindy scene is alive and kicking with tons of live music everywhere. I've started WCS here just so I can go dancing on a Saturday night! I say it's all swing, it's the MAC vs the PC.

  • This girl knows how to move her body.

  • I just noticed the opening said Jack and Jill which means this was not a preset routine. They are paired at random and pulled that off ad-lib. Heh. Gotta love when he can lead her so well that she has to squeel with delight.

  • why is this dance better than pro dancing. Its perfect. I just want to dance like this....!!!

  • Uh... it is pro dancing, Max and Jessica are both pro-swing dancers she West Coast Swing, he Lindy Hop. It is just a more accessible form of dancing, something real people can connect with.

  • wicked dancers x

  • i watch this daily

  • Me too!

  • and i am leaning this ni my skool its fun..........

  • COOL! You two are great. This video has inspired me to order an instructional dvd to learn how to do it. Hubby is even willing. Out of all of the West Coast Swing dances I watched, this was the best by FAR! How long did it take for you to learn? We do dance every weekend but have never tried to do this one.

    GREAT JOB!

  • I LOVE this video! Does anyone know the name of the second song (for the lindy hop)?  Thanks.

  • It's "Dancin' with a Debutante" by Mora's Modern Rhythmists...

  • Nice the girl moves so goodd!! miam

  • WOW, you guys make me want to . . . . D A N C E ! ! !

  • Wow! VERY cool. I'm learning this right now but it looks nothing like this!

  • You guys make it look like so much fun!

  • That was GREAT! Do you compete at all? There's just one thing I don't get. At the beginning did you slip or was it fancy footwork? Either way, you made it look really good. The whole thing was AWESOME- way to go!

  • That was awesome!

  • Can anyone tell me who the artist is, and/or the name of the first song?

  • Crazy of gnarls barkley

  • It's "crazy" BY Gnarls Barkley. I just say this because it confused me. I wanted to know also but didn't get the crazy of gnarles barlkey comment.

  • That was done with spirit!!!

  • That's really fantastic. I have never seen anyone adapt lindy hop to a disco song better than they did here.

  • That first dance wasn't Lindy Hop it was West Coast Swing which, like East Coast Swing, is taken, in part, from Lindy Hop but has ultimately become it's own entity.

  • Wow! So That's where my share of grace, agility, and dance talent went... You guys stood in line and got mine! You make it look easy and SO fun. Wonderful!

  • what song is it for the WCS?

  • wow! thats crazy! What song is that playing for the lindyhop?

  • wow! thats crazy.  What is that song for the lindy hop?

  • that was pretty neat... i think the best part was the screaming. lol. j/k nah it was pretty awesome... she follwed his lead like amazingly and its just a "wow" thing

  • I was amazed by this video. The setting is so low-key that you have no idea that the dancing will be so good!
