Welcome to our Lindy Hop for Beginners video lesson. This is a "home edition" class - our goal is to give you as much of our regular Lindy Hop class experience as possible.
***
Is there a difference between “Swing” and “Lindy Hop”?
Our answer is: no! Well, sort of ;) Lindy hop is part of a family of swing dances such as Charleston, Shag, Balboa, Blues and others. In this video, we concentrate on the syncopated triple-step rhythms that fit so beautifully to swinging Jazz music. If you're interested in other rhythms, check out our other video: "Lindy Hop for Beginners: Charleston Rhythm" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XRmwURoKFrQ.html
In this video, we jump straight into warming up and practicing dance steps. If you're new to Lindy Hop, we also want you to know that Lindy Hop is a dance that comes from Black American culture; knowing more about its history will help you appreciate what you're learning so much more. For that, we've prepared a series of short videos that give you an introduction into important topics in the history of Lindy Hop.: swingstep.com/courses/history-of-lindy-hop/
