Intermediate 6-Count Swing, Volume II

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Instructional Video
Review: I have taken lessons, taught lessons, and watched many videos on swing dancing and this series is the best. Intermediate 6-Count Swing introduces the triple step variation of the dance and adds many more moves to your list. Chris and Julie are excellent dance instructers and use excellent methodology to teach beginners how to dance. I would recommend viewing Beginning Lindy Hop (even if you already know a lot about swing dancing) befor using this one.

Summary: A real disappointment
Review: I never reviewed anything before because I"ve never been this disappointed with a purchase. Im glad I didn't buy "beginning"; I can't imagine what could have been on it! Tying your shoes? We got 2/3rds of the way through this tape and were still practically standing still. There is nothing stylish about the way these folks dance, I guess if you want a tape absolutely guaranteed not to intimidate anyone this is it. Personally I'd like to learn SOMETHING for 20 bucks. Save your money. Buy a movie with Fred and Ginger in it. I've learned more about swing from individual stills in Ken Burns' Jazz than I got out of this tape.

Review: I was so envious of the "Good" dancers.......... I was not sure how they did it or if I ever could. Chris and Julee have given me the understanding to feel the music, enjoy myself, and most importantly let my partner enjoy our dance together. Watching "Good" dancers is sometimes intimidating. There is something about watching Chris that gives me the confidence to believe that I too can do what is being shown. Julee gives me the understanding of what a follow looks for. I am sure they do the same for the Follows. They both exhude the fun that swing is all about. Some of the moves I learned from the tape, I used the very first time out. They worked, and the feedback about "MY" new moves was positive. Thanks,guys........Will there be an advanced video soon?

Summary: Well done
Review: What I liked best with this video is how they combined various moves from the first video and ones taught early on this one to make sequences. This helps you practice transitions between patterns. A little more about up-beat/down-beat and musicality in general would've earned this a 5-star rating, but otherwise a solid choice for the beginner/intermediate dancer.
