Che fortuna trovare chi parla la mia stessa lingua

Thank you for this wonderful dance lesson, coming from a 20+ year lindy hopper. Sometimes I will dance with a boogie like movement because of the music but your lesson has helped me distill some of what gives it the boogie distinction. This has been so helpful!

My girlfriend and I have been dancing Lindy Hop for many years, but we always struggled to get the proper boogie feel when we tried to adapt our dance to the music. The exercises in your video have been incredibly helpful, but to me personally, it immediately clicked when I saw your diagram with the bounce amplitudes. Thank you a lot for your efforts, and I really hope there is more to come in the future :)

We are lindy hoppers who have been trying to learn boogie woogie for a year now. This video has answered so many questions we had. Thank you!

Very interesting! Being a long time Lindy Hopper and Boogie dancer there were a few new things to me. But I would like to add that one of the essential differences is the emphasis on the beats. Both dances uses a syncopated tripple/chassé step since the music is mostly syncopated, but classic swing music commonly has the emphasis on the odd beats so Lindy has the stretch and emphasised, but also cool, backrock. Boogie music more commonly emphasize the even beats so the step emphasis becomes the last step in the tripple.

Great technique and explanation. Well done, Sergei

Hi man. Your videos are great. I like the straightforward technicality. A shame your last video is one year ago. I hope it has nothing to do with the missle strike and shit.

Where did you go?

Thank you!!!what a deep approach!that's exactly what I've searched for!

great concepts learned !! hope more swing and boogie woogie dancers can see this !! all the best Ukraine , love from Taiwan ～

As a ballroom jive, social jive, and swing dancer, I've been thoroughly confused about how the lindy hop and boogie woogie are different. This was enlightening

🙏

This is the first time I’ve seen your videos. I so enjoy dancing,so your video will make my life easier. I have scoliosis which affects my balance so I will be using two chairs to hold me up while I practice those steps. I enjoy many different types of music and dancing 💃. At present I’m into boogie. I have no partner , I’m 91+years of age,but I have no intention of letting that stop me. Thank you 🙏 for sharing your instructions and I hope to see more of this. ❤❤❤😊😊😊. LK from 🇨🇦

Fantastic advice ! Thank you 🙏

This was so helpful!! Thank you so much. 🎉

aways wondered what the difference was. boogie woogie looks different to lindy but the actual differences are subtle. many thanks

Grazie from Italy !!! I've learned so much your video. 😊

Just discovered your videos - soooo great! Thank you so much! and all the best for you! ❤

It's called Jig walk and No you never double bounce in Lindy Hop. Please!

As an American Lindy dancer of more than 35 years of teaching, competing, and judging and dancing obsessively, I can't help but think how silly the European interpretation our American folk dance, Lindy, is. Especially, considering that if you ask Gil Brady, whose California dance style is emulated by "Boogie Woogie", what dance he was doing he would tell you, "Lindy". Of course, Gil's dancing was so much more organic than the rigid expression of Boogie. Well, this is what happens when people try to codify our folk/street dance in a way that it can then be taught for money profit and promote rigid competitions. Strangely, I have, for the last 30 years used very similar basic patterns in my Lindy as I see used by Europeans in Boogie, namely pushes and side passes.

You have great videos. It is horrible that the war is still going on. Thoughts for all Ukrainians.

Great!

incredible tutorial! thank you so much

감사합니다 😃

Finally an incredibly so difficult to find explanation of boogie. Thanks!!!

Great video. I've been trying to figure out how some dancers make that happen. It's really cool that you've broken down the steps! Thx!

I love Boogie Woogie dancing so much! I'll definitely need to go to where you dance to enjoy myself dancing with others Boogie Woogie as well hehehe. Are you from Norway? (I'm assuming because of the "NOR" currency in the description haha)

Great instruction, and LOVE the Gil Brady props!

Привет! Спасибо за такое интересное сопоставление линди и буги, занимаюсь и тем и тем, очень мне интересны Ваши ролики 😍

Thank you! really helpful video! Love your energy ❤

Hi! Thank you for the video! This is something I really want to learn. But one thing is still unclear to me: in Lindy basic, in the first triple-step you move to your left, then right on the second triple-step. But in Boogie Woogie basic, you move right on 3, left on 4, stay left on 5 and then move back to right on 6. In this video you go the BW way starting at 10:04 up until 10:21, then you do the Lindy way up until 10:59. You don't mention this at all. So I wonder - did you do this intentionally? Or did you switch on accident? Also, could you please make the slo-mo sections longer? Because as I watch them I want to see longer stretches of uninterrupted steps rather than rewinding each time. :) Edit: okay, I noticed that you also switched your kick ball change, so you actually did the follower's variant. But you didn't mention it, so I was confused. 😛

Thanks

Thank you so much for this, I've tried to learn this by slowing down video footage to no avail. And I have the same socks so I'm already off to a good start!

Have you ever been to Herräng (in Sweden)? I am an old timer in dancing (began dancing in 1980, and between 1983 and 1993, I took classes in Herräng at 5 summercamps in total), who don't have much with the dance camp as such to do, but still as I now live here since a three years back, I have come to help with the build of tents and similar, so maybe we will meet sometime in the future. I've never looked at my dancing with your sharp analyzing approach, so listening to you, I acctually get to learn a lot of what I've seen in difference, but never given it much attention earlier. Very nice tought by you. Big thank you. PS. People who I dance with, can't place me, as I don't look as a swing dancer nor a boogie dancer, but at my best still look pretty alright, I hope.

Cool video it is awakened pleasant memories in me

Great video. Question about the communities: which dance has bigger numbers worldwide? Would it be true to say that Boogie Woogie competitions are more prominent in the scene than Lindy competitions? Seems like several of the very top Lindy dancers came from a Boogie Woogie background.

thankssss a lot. it's very useful and funny :)

great explanations. thanks for upoadig from germany

Nice!! Love the humor 😅 ❤

8:33 is the most surreal thing I've seen.

Кльова штука! Спробував сам, ноги зав'язались вузликом 😅

Hahahaha your video is so funny. I enjoyed and learned a lot.

Absolutely love the humor in this one. :) Cute baby, I have a 6 month old girl :)! - feeding the youtube algorithm with some comment "it ain't much but an honest work" :)

Thanks a lot for the great video! I have always wanted to know what is the actual footwork danced in fast boogie competitions. I tryed to slow down the boogie competition videos to figure out the motion but I didn't manage to only by seeing. Then I saw a videeo about double bounce and it became clear. 🙂 Your perfectly structured video with the detailed explaination and the historical background made it even more clear. So, thanks for that again! 👍

Hahahahaha! Loved the girl falling in the chair!! And what a cute baby you have!

Thank you! I think of you in these difficult times. Sending a hug to you from the US.

Feels like Boogie pulses upwards and Lindy pulses downwards.

Really good educational video in an understandable simple and logical manner i'm here for it! Slava Ukraini!

Great Video! Good luck!
