Summary: A good introductory swing video
Review: This video does a good job of teaching the basic swing steps and in addition shows some advanced moves. The video does not explain how to do any arials or the like, but it does show some examples of these kinds of moves. A good video for beginning swingers.

Summary: Excellent for Beginner Swing Dancers Only
Review: This video is a great one for those who want to learn how to swing dance, especially young teens. I started out with this video and have successfully began a great hobby of swing dancing. One observation I might point out is that there are 4 couples dancing. This shows the different styles between the couples. I recommend this for the absolute beginners...it's easy to learn and fun too!

Summary: Good for a Laugh.
Review: This video is obviously for the beginner. It teaches the basic step, some turns, and different maneuvers like the "cuddle." The "instructor," Pablo is kind of inexperienced, as are the other dancers, they miss a lot of hand holds. It looks like they filmed the video in a middle school cafeteria, and the quality of the tape itself is pretty inferior. After the teaching session, they break into a "swing jam," where the couples show off all of the stuff that you wanted to learn, but they don't show you an actual step-by-step. So if you have pretty good slow-mo on your VCR you can maybe pick up an aerial or two. Pablo does get tired at the end of the "jam" and it is pretty funny. All of the great looking moves on the cover somehow got left out of the video, I guess Pablo wants to keep the good stuff to himself. Basically, if you know the basic steps, and are wanting to add some polish to your moves, skip this video. If you are a beginner and are really patient, or just want a good laugh, then this is the video for you.

Summary: The Great American Swing Dance Scene
Review: Wow. What ENERGY. What a live Swingin' Scenario of Dancers, Ballrooms, Teachers and just a pure blassssst of Amazing F-U-N! How exciting was it to hear and see live swing-" dancers just havin' the time-of-their-life and just swingin'-on-out on the dance floor at a "jumpin' back to the 40's/50's Downtown Minneapolis, MN. Swingl-joint" called Lee's Liquor Lounge. What an exciting venue to see Lindy(East-Coast) and Lindy Hop(Savoy Style) both on the dance floor and by the Dance instructors. There was none of that stuck-up, show-off, and corner-dance-jam pseudo-fun like you see in California a lot. This was great for "the history of swing" by the amazing Dance Historian--Sir Lance Beneshek and all the Super Cool people they interviewed right off the street========Yeah California, there was no prep; they just "shot from the hip" (So, get "Hip to the Tip") and they spoke right from their swingin" and beatin" heart. I love those people from the Midwest....they are so 100% down-to-earth real...Buy this Video and re-experience what it's like to have real pure fun and learn some of the swing moves without the "California Plastic-Fantastic and yet Energetic-&-Synthetic" type of Dancers and their Videos. This is the real Americana "Gem of Swing". To the High Self-Esteem People of Swing Dance-----this Video is a "SWING CRAZE" of pure unadulterated FUN to the Nth Degree of Swing. If you want to capture and discover or even re-discover the meaning of FUN in Swing Dancing....Do yourself a Flavor and Buy it and Own it and Enjoy it for the rest of your Swingin' Years on Planet Earth.
