Summary: good value for the money. includes history of swing video
Review: A good video it learn swing dance with no prior training. Lots of beginning moves to get you started to be ready to go out and dance. The tape lays it all out in a easy to follow manor. Several couples are shown invarious forms a swing attire. The history of Swing video included shows how it all began. Beginners can't go wrong for the price. ---swingkat99

Summary: not that great
Review: i thought that this tape was not that great because of the poor quality of the video itself and the people involved were very unprofessional. although this tape has some good moves, that is why i would give it one star.

Summary: Good for beginners only
Review: I thought that this video would show me some new moves, but I ended up not learning a thing. It's only good for beginners I think.

Summary: Great Swingin' Starter / History Tape Set
Review: Lots of content for the price. Pablo Rocks! When you get this, use the stop motion on the B & W Lindy Hop vintage footage of the dancers. WOW!! They attept to defy all the laws of physics. Instructional video is rather dry, but I have given it other who had no clue -- and now they do. Footage of local digs in Minneapolis.

Summary: Not the best representation of current swing scenes
Review: Mostly taking part in Minnesota, it didn't seem to portray the high caliber of dancing that is out there. The vintage scenes from 30's were the best part of the tape. The caliber of dancing by the locals, while competent, is easily surpassed in other swing communities that could provide a better setting for a video like this. Would be better showing dance scenes from more cities around the country. Has an amusing quality to it that makes it a fun watch, kind of like watching a good'ol kitschy B-Movie.

Summary: If you want to have fun, go buy this one.
Review: OK, let's be fair - the first tape is pretty decent except for the guy who says 'Now I am here', but if you want to learn the history of swing go buy 'Swing - a new retrospective' book. The second tpe is good for teaching the basics, but go and find a live instructor. In the second tape, we had to rewind couple of times in the swing jams because it was really funny - no offense, but if you are doing a tape to sell, I think you need better dancers than this. It was hillarious - didn't they do any editing at all??? Pablo is really funny, especially when he gets tired at the end of second swing jam.

Summary: A solid primer for complete beginners
Review: Swing Craze is actually a two-tape set. The first tape is a cute but somewhat scattershot history of swing dancing. The second is a well-paced, step-by-step instructional video for straight beginners. The instructor is pleasant and is good about repeating the more difficult concepts. This tape got me started!

Summary: Good instruction. Bad sound!
Review: The first video shows history and information about swing dancing. This was Okay but the sound was fuzzy. The second video shows how to do the steps. This was helpful but not the best quality of video.

Summary: The Great American Swing Dance Scene
Review: This is a good video for beginners. It taught me all the East Coast basics, and I feel pretty confident with my East Coast now. The quality is pretty low budget, but it's a dance instructional video, not a feature film. Anyhow, they play a great song at the start of the swing jam, but they fail to credit it anywhere. If anyone out there knows the name of the song, post it here. Thanks.
