  • how the heck are we supposed to do this in ballroom dancing!?!

  • @kittycat42300 You don't. Real swing dancing like this is not going to be found in ballroom dancing classes. The dancing in this video is "Lindy Hop". It's the original swing dance, and it's it's considered a folk dance that was created in Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s. The swing dancing you'll find in ballroom classes is literally a watered down white version that was created in the 1940s by people who couldn't do this dance.

  • 1. I would ever want to dance that fast in my life. EEK. 2. I wish I were strong enough to do those aerials... guys are lucky bastards.

  • @Aprinsa It's about technique. Strength helps, but if that's all you're using then you're doing it wrong.

  • @lindyhop411 Ah. I haven't actually gotten to aerials yet. I just assumed it would require a lot of strength! I haven't seen any female leads doing them yet. I know one girl who leads and has been doing swing for 8 years and says she can only do the ones that go under the lead... but she's also smaller than me. I could probably pick her up!

  • @Aprinsa Well remember that the guy who invented air steps didn't start doing them until he had been dancing for 10 years. Also, what kind of swing dancing are you learning? If you can't answer that question, you're definitly not ready for air steps. The dancing in this video is Lindy Hop, the original swing dance, and the dance associated with air steps. When you do learn them, remember they're for performances or competitions, not the social dance floor. :-)
