An Introduction to 6-Count Swing

Summary: Best DVD out of 3
Review: My husband and I have 3 Swing Dance videos/DVDs. This was the best of the three. Chris and Julee are younger than the instructors on our other tapes so there was more energy and bounce to their steps. Their explanations made it easy to follow their moves. Being younger, they are also more "politically correct" and they refer to the dancers as "leaders" and "followers" rather than "men" and "ladies." This was awkward and a bit annoying (I know, it's a tiny thing). More importantly, they go slow and repeat everything many times so you aren't forced to rewind. A live orchestra on a real dance floor adds a little glitz and is more professional than lessons done in someone's home.

Summary: Best of the Best for Beginning 6-Count Swing
Review: My wife and I started a beginning swing dance class last week. We were hooked. The class meets once a week on Thursdays for one hour with practice afterwords. We wanted more and couldn't wait till next Thursday, We bought 4 dance video's and this is the one we watched over and over. Chris & Julie made it look easy and the instruction was excellent! We are ordering the second video for the Intermediate 6-Count Swing. If you are interested in learning swing dancing, save yourselves some money, this is the video to get you dancing.

Summary: These guys are goooood! And I'm a BEGINNER!
Review: No, I'm serious... I'm as newbie, green, novice as you can get! I decided to get into swing just recently so I went out and bought quite a few different "how to" videos just so I don't feel COMPLETELY stupid when I take my first lesson next month. This one takes the cake. It's thorough, intelligent, and well done. I recommend it highly.

Summary: The finest instructional dance video I've ever bought!
Review: Of the 22 dance instructional videos I've purchased (mostly all on swing) this is undoubtedly the finest. It is also the perfect video for the beginning swing dancer, since it provides clear, lucid and detailed instruction on steps, arm motion, leading and following. Most instructional tapes either omit such information or do a poor job of it. In fact, this is the only tape I would recommend for beginning swing dancers. We had been dancing several months, taking very good dance lessons and still derived enormous benefit from this tape. This tape provides a critically important instruction in proper leading and following useful both to the novice and bronze-level dancer. As a first tape to watch, it provides the skills necessary to be able to derive benefit from other instructional tapes. It also teaches enough steps for your to effectively swing your heart out on the dance floor -- I've been impressing even the instructors where I take my dance lessons!

Summary: The BEST way to start
Review: Something I never thought I would want to do (dance) was made understandable for someone with no prior lessons. I Hope there will be a follow up soon! Thanks

Summary: Absolutely Excellent!!!
Review: This is a fantastic tape. The instructors, Chris & Julee, do an excellent job of breaking down ALL elements of the dance, with the appropriate emphasis on how the partners communicate through leading and following. Not a "follow my feet and guess how to coordinate it" presentation, like other videos we have. Highly recommended.

Summary: Excellent video, quality routine and lead-follow techniques
Review: This is a very good good video for beginning swing dancers. Of any videos i've seen, this one does the best job of teaching lead and follow techniques. And the routine that is taught is more than plenty to get you dancing socially and kicking it up. This is a good one!

Review: this is like a private lesson in your living room. after 2 hours you'll be able to dance to anything the band plays (really - i tried it). clear, easy-to-follow instruction, lots of different moves, helpful tips. highly recommended - i'm buying another copy for a wedding shower gift.

Summary: Showing off your moves!
Review: THIS IS THE BEST SWING INSTRUCTIONAL EVER! To be honest, I have purchased other swing videos to try to learn the moves and this is the first one that actually gave me the confidence to go out and try the lindy hop in public. Not only can I thank this video for teaching me how to swing but after I strutted my stuff at a club, I got a date out of it! When will you have another video? This has great music too. Thanks Julee and Chris! I feel like i know you now!
