4.0 out of 5 stars
This is a clear and concise dance video., November 6, 1999
This review is from: Swing Dancing:Intermediate [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This tape was easy to learn from. The explanations of each move are clearly demonstrated. First, there is a dance segment that shows the viewer an example of the blended moves. Then each move is broken down and explained. Finally, the move is put together again. The instructors are somewhat wooden and humorless in their verbal explantions, but they get the job done in their demonstrations. My husband, a reluctant dancer at best, enjoys these videos and dances with me.

This review is from: Swing Dancing:Intermediate [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Kyle Webb is exemplary in demonstrating various East & West Coast Intermediate Swing steps and combinations in an easy-to-learn. The patterns are of the 60s variety, however, these steps are seen often in clubs around the country. Although not extremely flashy, such as steps used by Frankie Manning or Marcus Koch, the average person can learn these movements and look presentable on any dance floor. Style is obviously missing, however, each person should develop his or her own anyway. The combinations are danced, broken down into steps, then danced again to music. Leading is particularly emphasized by presenting the steps from different vantage points with associated hand placements. I have found this type of instruction lacking in some of the more expensive dance tapes. The video is of good quality with ample lighting and sound. Considering the cost of the video, it's a bargain.

This review is from: Swing Dancing:Intermediate [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Kyle Webb is exemplary in demonstrating various East & West Coast Intermediate Swing steps and combinations in an easy-to-learn format. The patterns are of the 60s variety, however, these steps are still seen in clubs around the country. Although not extremely flashy, such as steps used by Frankie Manning or Marcus Koch, the average person can learn these movements and look presentable on any dance floor. The combinations are danced, broken down into steps, then danced again to music. Leading & Following techniques are emphasized by presenting the steps from different vantage points. I have found this type of instruction lacking in other dance videos. Styling is omitted, however, I feel this is something to be developed by the individual anyway. The video is of good quality with ample lighting and sound. Considering the cost of the video, it's a bargain.
