Lindy hop's main move, the Lindy turn, is a very difficult move, but when you dance it right, it feels flipping marvellous. A tutorial.

This woman says nothing throughout the whole video, yet She shows so much character. I love her.

@Moraren 6 лет назад

As someone from Finland I can confirm that we dont speak much. We mostly communicate through smiles, nods and slaps, as show in the video.

@wierdalien1 6 лет назад

Moraren interesting. Especially as you have such a lovely language

Recommendation: when teaching a pattern, always, always demonstrate the pattern with a partner first. Then and only then begin teaching the individual footwork and hand and body moves. It is helpful to us students to be able to begin with the end in mind.

Thank you! I got confused with all that I am not suppose to do.

Growing up as a girl, dance classes I’ve had were all a source of frustration and stress because I’m clumsy and graceless. Yet I can really appreciate how Lloyd puts effort into not overwhelm a beginner. You’re a really good teacher.

@diceman199 6 лет назад

I actually know two people (including me & excluding Mr LB here) who have also done LARP, Martial Arts, Medieval reenactment, roleplaying and lindy hop....we don't make videos however

@drewinsur7321 6 лет назад

thats for sure is a weird medieval martial art, i will tell you that.

@timeforsuchaword 6 лет назад

Supermarkets were rough places back in the day and you needed to know how to handle yourself properly.

@ThePoeticPariah 6 лет назад

I'd like to think this is the opposite of what Lloyd often discusses, which tends to be history with a relatively heavy focus on warfare. However, it's not. Rather, this is the different side of the same coin. A perfect balance. Today, he doesn't discuss conflict or war. He educates us on love. War and love. Almost zen, don't you think?

@minuteman4199 6 лет назад

I don't even dance, and I found that pretty interesting to watch!

I led my ballroom partner into this while we were social swing dancing and she followed it perfectly out of nowhere! it was a lot of fun.

@anarchclown 6 лет назад

Ok so now I'm watching random dance move instructions just because of how entertaining Loyd is.

@bdrakePBDA 6 лет назад

Well done, sir! The Lindy Turn/ Basic/ Swing Out took me a couple of years to feel comfortable with, another couple of years to fine tune, and the last 15 or so years to share the joy that is dancing to beautiful, happy music. Keep on swinging! As Frankie said, "A one, a two..."

No, he just didn't explain "The Fish Slapping Dance" aspect of the Lindy incorporated from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

@johnladuke6475 6 лет назад

Okay, I'm having trouble right at the start, when I reach out with the light tension in my grip? See, my opponent keeps delivering a cut to my extended left wrist and then my off-hand is no good for blocking or grappling. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

@Fitzwewels 6 лет назад

John La Duke I think you may have missed the point.

@plasmo9891 6 лет назад

Fitzgerald I think you may have missed the joke.

@lindybeige 6 лет назад

Start by saying something nicer about the other person's mother.

@johnladuke6475 6 лет назад

Wait, what? I thought saying "your mother wears combat boots" was a way of complimenting her practical choice of footwear. I guess I've had it all wrong from the start. This is the value of good instruction!

@danielstarnes7354 4 месяца назад

It's a good thing you brought Laura along for this. Some of your combat videos could use a woman's touch, too.

@coryman125 6 лет назад

I don't like dancing. Somehow I sat through the entire 17 minutes of this video quite happy, even laughing at parts. Also can we just take a moment to appreciate what a good sport she was about being thrown around like a shopping cart full of inexpensive, non-fragile goods?

More videos like this please @Lindybeige ! I love military history and such but I'm a gypsy jazz musician and would love to start learning how I can dance to the music I play but I'm very nervous and don't like practicing in groups lol. More dance lesson vids!

@guitarlover1204 4 года назад

I just started taking lindy classes because of this video... and this helps me a lot to break down the moves. the swing out is indeed, difficult as all hell

@Jumboo364 4 года назад

I’ve been trying to learn for 7 months. This is the first time I’ve heard someone with experience admit the difficulty. Thank you! This move isn’t intuitive and requires lots of practice.

@Billchu13 6 лет назад

Excellent video, shared it with my swing friends. This took us *several months* to learn in weekly classes at our club in college, so like he says, don't feel intimidated if you feel like you don't get it right away. Next time you two should wear differently colored pants so that we can see your leg work.

@pjabrony8280 6 лет назад

I don't know how it is in Britain or Finland, but in the US, if you break something in a shop and it's accidental, you're not obligated to pay. The store's insurance should cover it.

@barneyallen5377 6 лет назад

Shopping cart? FFS, even Lindybeige has sold out to American English. End of days is upon us!

@Cysubtor_8vb 6 лет назад

Huh, think you might have fixed a little timing issue I had as I was taught to start pulling in on one, which can still work, but it always lead to a sort of learning curve every time we change partners as we have to feel each other out. Thinking about it, it likely made it easy to rush into the turn too early and lose momentum before the triple steps. Then again, a lot of the people in the club I learned it in also dance at events where they Lindy at crazy fast tempos that make it appear like they're slinging each other, lol

@CharleyGames 6 лет назад

Is it possible to have the follow turn in the 3-and-4, left hand going right, and catching her at 5 and beyond? Like in salsa, you have the 360+ (at least, that's the name from which I learned it, a break and crossbody inside into 360)

@jabbojab 6 лет назад

@williamharris1406 6 лет назад

I had to do a double take on this one, I subscribed initially because of the interesting warfare videos and (if I'm being honest) your videos on the merits (or rather lack thereof) of torches. But I'm an avid swing dancer (and have been for the past two and a half years) and I had no clue you did swing dancing too. I wanted to know, how is it looking at how your ideas on dancing might've changed between now and something like your Ska-Swing video from 2008?
