Had my first Lindy lesson last night. THIS VIDEO HELPED! They taught the same steps and told us all that these were absolutely key to learning the Lindy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO and series if you don’t have lessons where you live. ☑️😂❤

Wow, thank you very much for teaching us to dance. Thank you for sharing love, that is your talents of dancing. You both have true compassion, the caring of others, especially with us strangers. Thank you. I’m 53 and I always want to learn to do this style of dancing!

Ok, I’ve now done this video 40 times in a month. When you turn “inside” it is towards your mystical partner! Took me 25 tries before I could do the turns and another 10 to be smooth-ish and upright. I can only do this video 5x in a row before sweating very inelegantly. I did a crazy thing and have signed up for lessons. They are 55 minutes long. I may not survive. If I do, I’ll report back on whether this practice helped! I want to thank these two for posting this series. It has been really fun trying to keep up with them!

I went to my first swing-dance event tonight. I’ve never had any dance lessons, but they said beginners were welcome and had a short lesson before dancing. They explained these steps but had us do them with partners almost right away and then introduced at least 3 different moves very soon! I felt overwhelmed and though I tried multiple times I kept losing my rhythm and feeling quite awkward! However, I’m going to practice these and maybe take lessons. Relieved to hear I’m not the only one that can’t do this without practice haha. Thanks for explaining that thing with the inside/outside turns too. Good luck!

@@RickyDueck, I’m working up the courage to go to my first dance tonight. The first hour is practice and then the dance. I want to get that practice in and to watch some real dancers! Plus, it beats sitting at home and watching Netflix! The lessons here are with a class and only once a week. I do this video over and over in between. Sometimes I watch Nils and Bianca for inspiration! Best of luck to you!

There is a 'learning' gap between your part 1 and part 2 videos. Part 1 is a single element video and part 2 is multiple elements put together. I'm a middle aged man trying to figure this out with my wife in the dining room while the kids are sleeping and we are lost.
