5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Instructional Video, October 30, 2001

This review is from: Intermediate 6-Count Swing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have taken lessons, taught lessons, and watched many videos on swing dancing and this series is the best. Intermediate 6-Count Swing introduces the triple step variation of the dance and adds many more moves to your list. Chris and Julie are excellent dance instructers and use excellent methodology to teach beginners how to dance. I would recommend viewing Beginning Lindy Hop (even if you already know a lot about swing dancing) befor using this one.

This review is from: Intermediate 6-Count Swing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What I liked best with this video is how they combined various moves from the first video and ones taught early on this one to make sequences. This helps you practice transitions between patterns. A little more about up-beat/down-beat and musicality in general would've earned this a 5-star rating, but otherwise a solid choice for the beginner/intermediate dancer.

This review is from: Intermediate 6-Count Swing, Volume II (DVD)

The whole series (though Vol 3 is called "Introduction to Lindy Hop" compared to 1 and 2 which reference "Swing") is excellent. We thought we had the fundamentals and even intermediate points of swing pretty well off - and we did - but we got a lot of "fine tuning" out of this series. Some GREAT really clearly illustrated stuff on subtle hand signalling, great camera angles to illustrate what is going and good comentary will all improve your footwork, body position, leading and following. We also got some new moves which on the East Coast USA were new to folks around here and expanded our repertoire.

If you are beginners - this series is probably the best illustrated and paced we have seen. If you can't get an instructor locally then this is a good start and will get you putting on a great swing routine pretty quickly.

The series of DVD's really build on the previous ones - so take them in order, push back the furniture and dance with your DVD remote in your hand. They really lend to track back and slow motion play if you want to see what is going on!
