Thank you so much for this great video! I find the detail approach very helpful...and definitely that's a solid basis for the beautiful dancing at the end (when it's to music)
Wow! A swing instructional video in which the demonstrators can actually dance! Didn't know there was any such thing.
"Teach your students to dance"--that's what this is. I hate the FEEL of "relaxed" swing, as Heyelwood laughingly calls it. That's covering utter inability to lead and follow with flinging motions and sheer force. *shudders* IF you can't do this, no, you can't dance. You just may be so awful you can't tell.
I learned this type of dance in high school and I've been meaning to pick it up again, but this type seems a little different from what I learned. It seems that you rock step to the side but I was taught to rock step back.
@shaunmc3433 Rock step is a rock step regardless of stepping back or to the side. Generally speaking when you dance in open position, you rock step away from your partner (back) but when dancing in closed position to want to rock step with/matching you partner (side).
Heyelwood1, you are SO corret. Social east coast dancing looks totally different from this "ballroom east coast". You can still "triple step", but it's not as much of a walk across the floor, it's more in place. Non-ballroom east coast is SO fun! This just looks so...so BALLROOM!
@Heyelwood1 I have to agree. I respect that there are people who are into diversification, but ballroom swing looks so proper and upright. Which is great if you are dancing a waltz or a foxtrot, even tango. It is like eating barbecue chicken with a fork and knife and not getting a drop of sauce on your fingers.
thanks this help me with my dance class in gym any other things one utube that u would think would help me???IM GREAT DANCER AND A FANTASTIC SINGER I ALWAYS COME IN 1ST OR2ND PLACE IN THE TALENT SHOW!!!
Wow... what intricate level of detail. This is what I find really offputting about the ballroom dance scene - lessons where you spend ages agonising over something that takes someone who knows how to dance 10seconds to learn. Teach your students to dance and they will be much better equipped.

This dance is silly and corny. If you really want to swing dance with real
spins and fun moves, then learn Ceroc, also called Modern Jive ( no not
the ballroom jive). Ceroc/Modern Jive eliminates footwork and is very
popular in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
See "danceyourselfdizzycom

If you really want to learn swing dancing that is easy and swings, then
learn ceroc or modern jive. It's the style that's danced in England.

I bought 4 DVDs- Salsa, Cha Cha, East coast swing and Waltz. I have certainly got worth of my money.
I frequently go back to the DVDs to revise and review. I have joined a dance class and I found these DVDs easier and better to follow.
No doubt, Don and Kasia are the best dance teachers.
