Great idea. Might get a few people to look at you with suspicion though. XD

Thank you very much for the kind words! Hope the tutorial helps!

Thank you very much. I am glad you find it helpful. Usually I show how good I can dance in the dance videos that I make, and as for tutorials, the most important thing is to break down each movement. Maybe my background as a maths and science tutor helps with how I explain things. :)

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words. :)

No problem! :)

Awesome, thank you! And well done on learning those first few important moves. This one will open up doors to a lot of new moves and variations too.

Awesome! Life is full of pleasant coincidences. Thank you. Yes, I thought it's best to show the move at the start to give an idea of how it looks in action. That way we know what we're going towards. :)

Yes, exactly. I am glad my approach of breaking it down into parts is helping and working. Best of luck in practising the moves! :)

Yes, exactly. This is a good chance to learn some new skills while life has slowed down.

Matthew Ashworth you are a good teacher , I’m literally following your tutorials on your channel everyday . Please keep it up

@@catladylion5186 Thank you. I might have some more free time now because of the quarantine so I'll try to make some more. :)

You are very welcome! I am pleased they are easy to follow. With most dancing moves, it's 20% learning how to do them and the other 80% is constant practice, I'd say. I'll be making more tutorials. Will try to do another one soon. Been super busy as of late.

Thank you and you are welcome. I am pleased they've helped so many people. :)

Awesome to hear that. Thanks and I am glad it helped. :)

Thanks. I will do! :)

Much appreciated. Thanks.

You are welcome!

Yes, it takes some time. The feet movement is unlike anything that we do in daily life. :)

You are welcome. Yes, calves and also ankles often do hurt when doing this move a lot in the early stages. It does get easier over time though.

Best of luck! It's really worth learning this move.

@@MatthewAshworth thank you

Thank you.

Good luck!

Yes. You can go forwards and backwards. :)

Thanks. Yeah, I know what you mean. Usually it's good to learn some feet moves first and then to start integrating the arms in gradually so that you are not simultaneously thinking of both feet and arms. But since you are already getting comfortable with feet moves, then it's a good idea to add in arm movements. I can try to add some arm tutorials in as well (although admittedly I only know a limited moveset for these so far).

I also hope to learn some arm stuff soon as well, right now I'm not so sure what to do with them.

Just make your arms swing around like nunchucks

Thank you. I'd say the best thing is to keep practising. At first a lot of the moves can seem tough to do, but over time the body gets used to them and you suddenly see it all click. :)

Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, when I was starting out, I watched a lot of tutorials on these moves here on KZfaq. And I was practising them a lot. Later I discovered some moves and some variations of existing moves through experimentation. :)

@@MatthewAshworth thanks for sharing! You're a natural! :D

@@stephaniedesh Thanks very much!

I'd say, try to first do this motion without lifting the feet off the ground. So, just sliding a foot along the floor to its correct position. When you get comfortable with that, try with the foot getting raised. Another exercise you can try is to simply practice the twisting motion of the foot you're standing on while just lifting the other foot (without moving it anywhere). Hope this helps!

@@MatthewAshworth ok thanks!

Ah yes, I see what you mean. What about the view from the top? Did that one help?

@@MatthewAshworth yes, they definitely did.

@@avrasoistaken Thanks! Glad it did.

They can affect how easily you slide and shuffle. I'd recommend something that can glide easily. Same goes for the floor surface. It's usually better on smoother floors.

@@MatthewAshworth thanks!

Hiya. Did you manage to find it linked in any of the comments? It was a custom-made track specifically for these tutorials, but I've posted a link to it in some of my videos. Here is the link again: drive.google.com/file/d/1Lko19WJUy28FnTgivZ_dg5V3PIxSJx47/view?usp=sharing

Hi. Do you mean the musics that inspired me when learning this dance or the musics that I used in the video?

It was a custom-made track by an online friend of mine specifically for these tutorials. You can download it here if you want (though if you use it in a video or any other project, then credit Darren Curtis as the musician): drive.google.com/open?id=1Lko19WJUy28FnTgivZ_dg5V3PIxSJx47

@@MatthewAshworth Thanks alot :)

Thanks. I'll try to keep the previews shorter. :)
