1.0 out of 5 stars A massive disappointment, December 12, 2000
By Patrick Leung "quantboy" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
According to the title, this is Advance Swing. Unfortunately, what I see is what is widely known as 'Pre-Intermediate' swing in NYC dance ballroom circles. In addition, the basic steps shown as 'Lindy Hop' doesn't look at familiar to the Lindy Hop on the East Coast- and I know - because I've taken lessons from students of Frankie Manning- the originator of Lindy Hop in NYC's Savoy ballrooms.

The steps shown in this video look like some kind of mid-western swing you might see in the 70's serial 'Happy Days'- but definitely NOT what you would see in NYC's Savoy ballrooms. For example- this tape bills itself as 'advance'- yet I see no swing outs or eight count turns of any kind- nor any type of Charleston. Then how can this be Lindy Hop??? This is false advertising.

Save your money and buy something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not your best best, April 18, 2001
By A Customer
I've got to weigh in with the many folks who have panned this series. The tapes ostensibly offer a variety of swing styles, but, in reality, only repackage the same East Coast Swing moves and show them again as different styles of swing. Even at the current low price they're offered, they're not a good investment. As another reviewer stated, the Paul Overton/Sharon Ashe tapes are excellent, as are the tapes produced by the Pasadena Ballroom Dance Assoc. (never mind the name, they do well with swing!) and taught by Tami and Erin Stevens.
