Thanks a lot for the video. I have two off-topic questions for the native English speakers here: I have never heard a word like “straight” being pronounced with a sh-sound like in „shoe” before. In this video it is always pronounced with “sht” instead of “st“. Is that something regional? When she says “the flicks” (0:29), “the standing leg” (2:26) and “the change” (6:38), she pronounces “the” like “ði“ like it is normally done before a vowel sound. Before consonants it is usually “ðə”. Why has she changed the pronunciation in “the flicks”, “the standing leg” and “the change“? At 4:46, she says it vice versa when she pronounces “the” in “the ankle” like ðə instead of ði, as it should be before a vowel sound. I have always learned: If the indefinite article is “a”, the definite article the is pronounced ðə. If the indefinite article is “an”, the definite article the is pronounced ði. This rule can be found in every English book. How does it come that there are examples here that don’t follow this? Thanks a lot!!
I was going to write the same... ☺ I appreciate that you started to rise gradually the tempo... and the phonetic was great to remember by repeating it. Thanks!!! 😍
Suggestions: Thanks learned a lot from your channel very educational. Can you make some pratice vedio, with only step , or with short or no explanation for people to fellow to practice? Thanks
It would be helpful if you were to do a quick demo with music first, so we would know what it looks like before the long explanation. Thanks for clear and slow instructions.
Egais Smargis, a ballroom dance expert, realizes that there are two types of jive dancing especially in dancesport jive - Swinging jive - where the chasses, kicks, rocks, and ball changes are more grounded with less "tic" feeling across the rest of the body, and using little or no flick actions, and; Jumping jive - much more competitive and demanding, with a lot more "flicks" than kicks, and you have more "flick" ball changes than just regular kick ball changes, and there are even flick ball changes even in the basic jive actions. This means moves like the Mooch, Chugging, and maybe even the Coca Rola have more "lifting" in the flicks than anything else.
great lesson. unfortunately my brain melted when came time to raise the ankle on the standing foot. by the time i sorted of got it, my body said it was done. i guess it was a good workout too.
Yikes (do i hv ADD?) too hard. i dont hv the balance and trying to concentrate on how to stay upright and not fall over i cdnt concentrate on the steps😆... ill try again. (Big girl problems) im gonna hv to master ur balance video first.
i put my hands on opposite sides of a door frame for support while i am concentrating on learning the movements. after the movements are in muscle memory, then i use less support.
Best instruction on kicks and flicks ever! Thank you
Thank you. This will make my swing a little different looking once I practice the difference between kicks and flicks.
Demonstration and explanation coordinated really well making it easy to follow. Thanks.
You are welcome!😄
I learn more and get stronger each time I do one of the many tutorials. Thanks.
Amanda you are a great Dance instructor. Keep up the good work. I am a big Fan of yours.
很棒的老師。由於您循序漸進的教學（分拆示範)，我終於明白flick and Slip ，kick ball change 該怎樣完成。78 歲了仍躍躍欲試。😊
Best tutorial ever
Wow, thank you so much.. I always wondered the difference between the kick and the flick...
Happy to help!😄
Thanks a lot for the video.

I like this and followed every video. Please keep on making more teaching.
Excellent demo on the proper technique of jive.
Suggestion: After you show the two parts, can you do them to music? Would love to see the step done to music at the end. Thanks.
Sounds good Eric! We always do demonstration with the music at the end of each video, not sure why we didn’t do it this time. 🤦♂️

With 375 I'm loving learning to Jive, now I just need to get my wife on board!
That's great to hear Stephen! 🤗
Great teacher, great review
Great! Perhaps you can demonstrate along to the music to see how the kicks and flicks are done quickly. Thanks so much!
Brilliant! ❤

I wonder the counts and beats. Thanks.
Thank you so much 😘

Very informative! 🤗
This is hard!
I don't have ballroom shoes, so what do recommend wearing? Or can I dance barefoot?
Any lightweight shoes with leather soles will do ...
@@68scrooge how are you supposed to bounce/jump when you're dancing barefoot or with lightweight shoes?
👍👍👍
Can you do it with music
Amanda do you know who Salvo or Viktoria's new partners are?
We’re not really sure 🤷

place your weight more on the balancing/standing leg if youre standing on one leg.hope this helps
