My husband and I just learned our first dance steps proper way. We are going to celebrate our 20 anniversary and surprise our guests with this dance. It is a lot of fun. Thank you for your teaching. You are great teacher.

At 50 years old, i have never learned how to dance. This looks like a good place to start.

That is the exact rock ‘n roll step I did in the 50’s and 60’s. I was lucky that my parents gave me dance lessons including ballroom dancing which meant I was always on the dance floor but I married a man who was a terrible dancer, I tried to teach him but he had no rhythm at all, so I gave up with him, he just didn’t ever get it.

I love the way you teach. You break it down so small but its not patronizing. I don't feel like I'm being made fun of for not knowing or being scared, just slowly being brought of my stiff shell. Especially with how much effort and movement you put into such tiny steps, it shows me how there's already room to do more even in steps so small. I can have something to work on, even if all I know are small bits. As someone who has desperately been wanting to learn to dance for years and I have to learn it all alone in my room, its appreciated more than you know.

Explained in a very clear and simple manner. A good teacher!

I am here because my neighbors asked my wife and I over to swing. It looks like fun. I hope we get the moves right. Thanks

Thank you 🙏🏻

I am an elementary music teacher that likes to teach swing dance occasionally to 5th/6th grade. You do an excellent job of really breaking this down! I am currently using this video to teach my students :)

Thanks Oleg and Christina ❤

You are an excellent tacher. Slowly, step by step, explaining, repeating...love your lessons. I've always danced very much as an adolescent and adult. Now I practice your steps alone in my living-room...Thank you!

A great way to socialize and shed your inhibitions,and fun way to exercise without the pain.

very simple, very easy, love the way you teach !!

Bruv, this was the very first swing dance video I found in Dec 2023. I had gone to a banquet, people were swing dancing, and I never had taken a single lesson in my life, dancing was not on my bingo card. I saw the swing dancing and I said, that's the kind of dancing I am interested in. This is the video that kicked off all my swing dancing, I have taken tons of lessons and gone to tons of dances and this video was the start of it all. I still feel this video is very solid for anyone else watching, I'm even a bit nostalgiac about it. Swing dance has to be one of the most inviting, welcoming group. Early on, I threw my ego out the window and went by gut feel that fun was the core to learning swing dancing, and that one rule worked. do 2x or more dancing at dances than taking lessons - use lessons to bolster what you figure out on the dance floor. I learned to not sweat it if I messed things up - more experienced followers were really patient and constructive. Now, one of my favorite things at a dance is dancng with totally inexperienced dancers - I mean this is their first time. You can show them the 6 ct that they can dance with all night long and have total fun. They are so appreciative, too. I am actually getting into "experienced" level classes and the learning is taking off faster. Learning to learn. I couldn't even keep the 6 count 5 months ago, so get yourself started, and do all the dancing you can. Don't worry, relax, you will learn fastest with that mindset - I've met dozens of what are now great friends within a 2 hour radius of where I live. Cheers!

I am so happy to have found your dance class videos. Thank you!😊💕

Oleg I've been watching your lessons for a long time now. As a teacher, I can tell that dancing is your passion. You are thorough & patient. All the qualities of an excellent teacher! Your sense of humour when dancing on your own in public always gives me a good giggle!

Love this. My husband was a dance instructor in the late ‘50’s early ‘60’s, before I met him. He was classified as the best in our county. He danced on Dance Party in California. He came down with MS and could no longer dance and could not teach me, so sad. But he shared his fond memories with me and that was good.

Excellent teacher, such clear instructions for both ladies and men .great. Thanks.

I love the way you teach. You're brilliant.

Amo ver qué el lenguaje de la danza sea propio y Universal,pues yo aprendo cada día con ustedes aún no entendiendo tu idioma..gracias , geacias!!!!!

😮wow its great 👍 ls dancing zumba helps to learn it quicker? Love it.lm going to follow you.thank you so much for cheering me up ❤❤❤❤

Oh yes. You are such a great artist and teacher. Finally you are teaching not only the lady but the man too. Maby I did not notice but till now I only see you teaching the ladies. This is the first time I see you teaching what the man is supposed to do. Due to that I was not coming here to see your lessons. It would be so useful to all of us around the world if you with your great knowledge could always when teaching the lady how how to do would teach what the man should do with the lady. Thanks for sharing your art with us. Greetings from Brazil ❤️❤️

So usefull sharing!

This is awesome, thank you...

I wish you could have been our teacher in ballroom dance classes! My husband thought he was a great dancer until we took ball room classes- I could never dance with him, he was so bad! I grew up dancing with my dad. I learned the box waltz by standing on his feet when I was 5! My parents did a lot of dancing not only ballroom, but also polkas, foxtrots,Norwegian Schottises, old Tyme-Scandinavian Waltzes, all the fun dances! Now I can’t dance anymore and I sure do miss it!

I don’t know how I found you but my two left feet are singing your praises! 🇨🇦❤️

There's a lot of good stuff in this, but the swaying is a very Latin, sexy version, amd.your rock steps are enormous!

Thank You❣️

Thanks Oleg 🙏🙏👍👍👏👏

That was great!

thank you!!

GREAT TEACHER

Thank you

Thank you Oleg, I just switched from a different channel to yours. I also love the way you teach and echo all that "Salisbury Steak" had to say! P.S. I'm teaching my kids at a younger age than I learned anything and they love it!

You had a cool haircut 2 years ago also, thanks for your teatchings‼️🎯💎 Jazzy Norwegian.
