Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The cultural effect of the revival of Swing Dancing has been sudden and intense. It is now a common sight at dance clubs across the country to see hep cats in their black and white spectator shoes and zoot suites out on the dance floor swirling and twirling their bobby-socked dance partners. Now you can join in all of the excitement and learn to master the techniques of Swing dancing with ballroom dancing champion Teresa Mason. This informative dance class features the basic steps for the five most popular Swing dances including: West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing, Lindy, Jitterbug and Jive. Included are five steps for each dance as well as a styling tip. Your competence and confidence will grow as your progress through each easy-to-understand lesson. Teresa Mason is a professional teacher and performer and is a former national champion competitor. Her teaching is accredited by the Imperial Society. Together with her partner, Lance Estridge, they operate Dance Arts in Houston. Miss Mason is the creator and instructor of the Ballroom Dancing series of videotapes also available from Kultur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good instruction and easy to follow, January 10, 2000
By Nina (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
I would recommend this video to any beginner in swing. You can see both wonderful performance and thoughtful instruction. You can hit the dance floor in an hour, and I mean it... I have learned more from this tape than from attending swing classes for two months.

2.0 out of 5 stars There must be something better., July 21, 2003
By mkeditor "mkeditor" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
I agree with the other reviewers that the instructors are great dancers but poor instructors. The choice of editing is confusing. Rather than big band or rock-a-billy, the steps are done to cheap synthesizer cowboy music. To say it was not helpful at all would not be correct or fair. It did help, but I am now looking for tape that will serve us better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Swing dancing for men who already know how to swing dance, January 8, 2001
By A Customer
These instructions are nearly impossible to follow - especially the women's steps. The tape starts out with slow, simple steps, but pretty soon, they start stringing together complicated series of steps without demonstrating the women's steps in slow motion. Even when they demonstrate the Dallas Side Pass, (where the man twirls the woman around twice in less time than it takes to say "one-Mississippi") they slowly show the men's steps, complete with close-ups of the feet, and then show the pair dancing together at full speed, with no demonstration of the women's steps. This is how *all* the steps are demonstrated beyond the first basic steps. They must think that men need extra help with dance steps and that women need no help at all! But even the men's instructions are too fast to follow, as my husband found.
