Summary of An Introduction to 6-Count Swing
Swing (a derivative of Lindy Hop) is a truly original American dance. Developed in the late 1920's in the ballrooms of Harlem, the dance swept the nation, crossing social and racial lines with unprecedented popularity. Today's resurgence of this soulful dance has enriched the lives of young and old. This video will provide the basic tools needed to enjoy this social dance for years to come.An Introduction to Six-Count Swing begins with the fundamental tools of leading and following. Without those skills, you cannot give or respond to the signals that result in great moves. After mastering just a few exercises in leading and following, we focus on the basic footwork of six-count swing. With that under our belts, we jump right into the basic steps and turns of swing, introducing 17 moves and combinations, each with clarity and plenty of time to practice.
To add to the experience, we asked some great Chicago musicians to lay down some of their original swing tunes for the video.
At the end of the tape (and with some practice), you will be able to lead or follow anyone else who has completed a basic swing class, as well as look and feel like a polished team with your dance partner.
To enhance learning, Julee and Chris recommend Big City Swing's "Ready to Lindy Practice CD". This custom CD was produced with the beginning Swing dancer in mind, with 6 tracks of swingin' tunes, arranged from slowest to fastest, so that dancers can build their skills gradually, while listening to great music.
