So you've heard about the swing craze taking the nation by storm and want to know more? Get the flicks Swing Kids and Swingers, buy up all the Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy you can find, and settle in with Swing Craze for some instruction before hitting the clubs. Vintage clips of hep cats from the 1930s--unfortunately interspersed between less thrilling commentary--will leave you breathless, and the clear, easy-to-follow demonstrations will have you rock-stepping in no time. The production values aren't as glossy as on a big-studio release, but, with material aimed at new zoot suiters rather than folks looking for fancy air moves, this is a solid introduction to the dance, the lingo, the culture, and the history of swing. --Jhana Bach

Excellent for Beginner Swing Dancers Only,
By A Customer
This review is from: Swing Craze [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video is a great one for those who want to learn how to swing dance, especially young teens. I started out with this video and have successfully began a great hobby of swing dancing. One observation I might point out is that there are 4 couples dancing. This shows the different styles between the couples. I recommend this for the absolute beginners...it's easy to learn and fun too!

Pablo works it,
By kirroyale (Niagara Falls, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swing Craze [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a good video for beginners. It taught me all the East Coast basics, and I feel pretty confident with my East Coast now. The quality is pretty low budget, but it's a dance instructional video, not a feature film. Anyhow, they play a great song at the start of the swing jam, but they fail to credit it anywhere. If anyone out there knows the name of the song, post it here. Thanks.
