swing dance routine

this was my swing dance routine for ballroom dancing class final project during senior year of high school. it was just something i put together with my partner after a week or so. and haha yeah i know i messed up the end.
obviously the dancing here is amateur, i have no aspirations of becoming anything more than an amateur swing dancer. doing the project and dancing was hella fun.
the song is rama lama ding dong.

edit:
lol if you're one of the haters, too bad if you think the dancing sucks. go youtube some pro swing dancing videos instead, or just get a life.
otherwise, thanks for watching!

I use to compete in C&W pro/am. I've also had private lessons with 9 x C&W dance champion Ronnie DeBennedetta, 8 x swing champs Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann & Corky Ballas Dancing With The Stars to mention a few pros. I've also had a few lessons in lindy hop. I wanted to say that was a very good & cute routine! Would love to see more!

@peypeyneekin Frankie Manning's favorite track to Lindy Hop to was Count Basie's Shiny Stockings. The version played at his funeral and danced by hundreds of people in his honour was nice and slow - it was still swing dancing. I dance swing, attend social dances, take lessons and I teach it. There's no hard and fast rule about the speed. The music in this particular vid isn't slow. Some of the world's best swing dancers today have great routines to much slower music. It's still swing! :)
