Class-1
How To Do A Swing Out - beginner to advanced:
The swing out. Ok, prolly everyone reading this is asking themselves, ` A
swing out, I know how to do that!` But this is just a little reminder....
swing dancing is the swing out!!!!! :) Everything that is ever danced to
swing music is totally based around the swing out. This class is designed
to get back to the routes of swing dancing and almost taking it to a
spritual sense. By going over every single part of the swing out, and by
working on some minor details, it will improve your over-all dancing to
the point of godly hood. :)
Class-2
How To Dance To Music -beginner to advanced:
Again, it seems like something very simple to accomplish, but let me tell
you that this takes years to perfect. Dancing to music is not the same
thing as dancing to a beat. Anybody can try and dance to a beat, even
though most people can not even do that properly. :) If all dancing to
the music was dancing to a beat, why would there be all these other
instuments and horn solos, where all you need to dance to a beat is a
caveman beating a stick against a log. This class is ment to be a intro
on how to move with the music instead of just doing `moves you learn
in class`. Although this takes many years to perfect, I want this class
to be a push (maybe a shove for some people) in the right direction. :)
