Thanks Laura for your videos ! Why your half break looks sooo different to how they teach it in Swing Patrol in London ?

As someone who doesn't dance, or even really has the desire to learn, I can still appreciate the rhythm and coordination of it all. Listening to your examples and explanations is very interesting. You do a remarkable job.

As a trained b-boy, it does remind me of a top rock (the Indian step), though it is obviously different in style.

Nice, I got this one down well!

Thanks! Made on 0.5 speed yet)

Very nice style

Wow! Such a great encyclopedia for jazz dancing! At least for me :) Thank you so much!

We had Tim in the Swing festival of Bilbao last year. It's amazing how easy he makes dancing look like.

Nice

Thank you so much Laura, this is a great and helpful video... Have you ever thought about making some merch? Maybe some t-shirts with "the best way to learn to dance is TO DANCE"? I will love them so much!!

Am visiting the US in October. Would love to attend one of your classes or socials. Is that possible? 🙂

Good tutorial. Im a senior at 74 & never knew the term hacksaws, i just emulated my aunts & uncles. No partners anymore tho, they're 75 yrs and up !

This is realy good. It is like squat training routine based on swing steps.

Damn you're good! Loved you at Beantown camp this year!

❤❤❤❤

Great lesson

Appreciate the interesting history lessons. It adds value to your incredible videos.

This is so intersting !

Crazy

You may want to check out a UA-cam video from January, 1975. Just type in: Sonny and Cher Chattanooga Choo Choo, and be amazed! Cher, Terri Garr, Freddie Prinze and the Pointer Sisters do an awesome 1940's medley, and not only does Freddie sing and dance well, but they all do Truckin', Dig To China (um? Shorty George?), and the Suzie Q. They don't clench hands like churning butter, they kind of touch fingers in a kind of sideways "S". Looks great! 👍

Every cell of my body starts bouncing by watching you dancing. So funny!!! Thank's for the good explaination.

literally commenting because you said algorithm

Your singing is good!

Great video

Great vids - so helpful. And love your fireplace!

so beautiful the performance !

I can’t tell you how helpful this was for me!! I was looking for drills and you answered all my questions. Thank you so much!!

watched this again bc i saw someone do the scarecrow yesterday and i forgot what it was called. i knew this vid wouldnt fail me!

Put a lollypop in your mouths!

Watching girls dance is a great way to stay in shape!

❤❤❤✨

Nice! Many call the rockstep shake the "Frankie Break", cause he loved this move-shaking and he did it in triple steps with slow rhythm many times too. Thanks Laura! ❤

Fantastica ❤

This is great-do you think you could one day also have a camera view from above?

Hola, estoy empezando con el swing y me encantais.. Hoy os descubrí y os voy a seguir, aunque el inglés no sea mi idioma,. Lástima.!!

This reminds me of Rueda de Casino.. You should include partner steps, partner changes and hand signals and make it a “thing”!

Huh ? Hmmm? Well ok as long you tell the truth that the Lindy Hop, also known as Jitterbugging, originated in the African American communities of Harlem, New York during the late 1920s. It is a dance that is deeply rooted in Black culture and history.So we will give you a pass.Good job.

Everything is circumstancial, but if you just start treating this as a conversation instead of leading & following, the result will blow your mind. Something I've recently learned, and I think that could be the summary of the second half of this vid.

the blue dress deserves you very well

I'm back watching this again! and this time I have really appreciated Hussain's style, how you two work so well together! A lot of the time leads can be a bit flouncy or too much jazz hands... but Hussain has a real verve and energy and grounded-ness about his dancing style which was great to watch. (7 months later... and you'll appreciate that I am back out on the dancefloor at a few big social events, and going to lessons again, thanks again for the inspiration!)

Great explanation, never knew about this, thanks!

Most black people know this.

This stuff looks dead simple. Come watch me fail at the next social dance! Better yet, come fail _with_ me!

Hey Laura, thanks for the video. I just started Lindy in a beginner class and I have the biggest problem with synchronizing my triple steps even on slow beats. (Sorry if I mess up the nomenclature). I can synchronize two steps/rock steps just fine but triple steps just wont work. I tried counting, but if I am focused on that, I cannot focus on the second step of triple step. I gladly take any advice you can give me regarding practice to get better. It always looks so easy and fun, but actually doing it is a lot harder and gives me more and more frustration. I am afraid I will loose my motivation over this and just stop. Thanks in advance for your advice. Appreciate it a lot. André

I'm attending my first social dance in a few days and this was so very helpful, thank you so so much!

"a basic, internally self-propelling continuum" That is a great quote, because it's about music but (as you show later in the video) it is *exactly* what you want in your body!

Great video Laura! Ethos and history just as important as the steps :) I used to teach the Tranky Doo many years ago but I haven't danced it in literally 6+ years. Then earlier this week the Dipsy Doodle was played at a local dance and I joined in and that way I learned that I no longer have it all clear in my head, lol. Whoops. So I went looking for a refresher, and I got that here but also plenty of new ideas about how to do it, which is great :)

¡Gracias!

It's been almost 2 years now since I've started to hop into lindy and your videos has and still accompanying me on my journey. I love your pedagogy and you're energy. Thank you for all the work on sharing your knowledge on lindy, it's been so helpfull ❤
