I have my own system for teaching the footwork. This is it. It involves breaking everything down into two types of two-beat elements.

"It doesn't matter" is probably the best advice you could give anyone learning anything new that doesn't involve a firearm.

@MatthewShute 6 лет назад

Or explosives. Or wild animals. Or noxious chemicals. Or considerable altitudes or depths. Everything else, though, pretty much.

Thank you. Unusually, I did two takes of this, and then had a tough time picking between them, because they were exactly the same length and very similar in quality, even though the jokes and minor aspects of what I talked about were different.

You will never know how much this has freed my thinking about swing style dancing. Thank you, thank you. I come from the south and southwestern part of the USA. The dancing styles in the southwestern part are dances that are basically the Texas Two Step and several variations of two step. Dances where if the steps aren't mirrored there will be pain. I could never do dancing like you demonstrate, I always prided myself on being able to follow anyone. I could learn the steps but I couldn't figure the cues one gets from the person leading. OMG! I don't have to. Basically if we are both doing A or B then if our steps aren't mirrored, step for step, so what. The occasional difference adds a little cool to it. I feel like Dorothy. It was there all the time.

@pieroh60 9 месяцев назад

I last went to a Lindy hop work shop with my wife recently without having any previous experience in partner dancing. What happened was exactly what you describe...For a while I managed to keep the steps up, while my body wanted to move freely to the music. Ok... with the basic steps it worked ok more or less after some time, but things became worse, when more steps were introduced (6-count, 8-count and turns). That's why I find your statements so helpful and encouraging: It doesn't matter! Everything is alright! Thank you for that!

Lindy, I have been consuming some of your more history related stuff before, and I have always enjoyed it very much, but never much engaged with it.

I am pleasantly surprised after my confusion at first, you do an excellent job. I am now very amused and very eager to go learn how to dance to jazz, on top of playing it. Thanks

@Sahfiel13 6 лет назад

The best teachers of the arts, martial, dance or otherwise, are able to leave you with something relevant in most walks of life and rather than strict edicts focus on helping you find a flow that works for your own self discovery. I believe that this is so with Lindybeige and his advice on this matter. "It doesn't matter", in this context, feels very familiar. If you think about it, it isn't that far from the phrases many would certainly know: "the way is no way", etc. Sage advice! Bravi, bravi, bravi! To discourage limitation and to encourage expression and innovation is.. I feel.. an element most great teachers possess. Rather than lording over the works of others they help them find their own way while giving aid in the process.

@AicyDC 6 лет назад

Great video! I always wondered why a lot of times when I see very good lindy dancers dancing they are not triple stepping especially to fast songs. Triple stepping is what I've always been told to do, and now I realise they've been doing the 'single time' footwork or another one of the right type A or B which I'll have to try out doing myself.
