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.

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

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 :-)

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

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.

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

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.

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