This is excellent. Such a great study as well as performance. Not to mention the clarity of teaching demonstration. Thank you so much!

[@BrianPletcher1]

Thank you for putting this set of videos together! I used them to learn it myself so I could teach it to our intermediate performance group. It must have been a lot of work, but we really appreciate it!

[@bandm81]

We're learning this tomorrow night, just wanted to get a heads up as I'm terrible at choreo - thanks so much! You guys are so awesome with all the videos you put up. It's really appreciated!

[@91Sentinel]

This is fantastic. Now I can dance with everyone else at my sing dance club the next time they play this song! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@ljeffery6419]

Thank you! Learning this in a class at Rustys, this will help me keep up!

[@autistika]

MERCI for breaking this down! How cool.

[@rmandra]

Also amazing. Thanks for all your helpful videos.

[@geonite1]

Thank you for posting this and the series of videos that break down the moves. I'm learning The Big Apple now along with a dance routine for a performance and my head has been in such a jumble trying to learn both at the same time. This will be a life saver.

[@jitterbugg]

You guys are the best. I really appreciate that you break down everything. :D Thank you so much!

[@karenturman]

[@ExitSiign]

The counts were really helpful. Learned like the first 3rd yesterday.. wonder how many will try it tonight at social [swing] dancing. :P

[@lucaszeta]

Cheers for being able to do it while counting

[@GatorshoesBop]

Je suis en train d'apprendre cette routine avec Annie Trudeau ! Merci pour le travail que vous faites. Ça m'aide grandement à reviser cette routine :)

[@zsuzsuspetals]

Fantastic video! So helpful! However I'm convinced I'm never going to learn the Big Apple :( It's such a loooong dance. When I first saw it, I kept waiting for the steps to start over and repeat and they never did. I just goes on an on. Such an awesome dance. Maybe when it's the 2030's I'll actually have learned it, lol

[@lyndyhopper]

i kept thinking there would be repeats too.

[@MsBoomergirl]

The dance, when performed, takes only a couple of minutes. It's a lot of different steps, but I found that even a relative beginner, as I am, can learn it from beginning to end. This video breaks down the steps really well, but it's just a start. It helps to see the entire dance performed to music and to learn the music. Also, watch various videos of the dance performed, and if possible take some classes in person. Of course, practice, practice, practice!

Спасибо, очень пригодилось! Thank you!

[@zarza05]

thank you very much!!!!

[@xxCaddi95xx]

The Big Apple was originated in South Carolina which happens to be my home state :)

[@PatrickAndNatasha]

Hey, this is not "really" a TH-cam function. We added the thumbnails with our editing software and then added a clickable area on them with TH-cam.
Patrick

[@lyndyhopper]

cool.

[@ApplePie2luv]

This may be very simple, but does anyone know how this video has a preview of several other videos that you can click and watch? I've played around with TH-cam's annotations and linked it to a video, but haven't gotten it to show a few seconds of the video I want and didn't know if Patrick and Natasha edited this some other way.

[@withsmilo]

Thank you for the great sharing! But You omitted walk around 8 count during London Bridge. :)

[@starogre]

yep noticed the same thing

[@anhanh057]

[@user-ki1ql2id6y]

[@bellmonte5620]

Challenge accepted !

[@Katleenfarine]

[@tamaraturner6081]

Very 2010 attire I like it

[@bryclark222]

What's the name of the song this is usually danced to?

[@Efterri]

"Big Apple contest" by The Solomon Douglas Swingtet

[@starogre]

I think you're leaving an 8 of walking to the london bridge out. It should be 4 8's between grabbing partner's hand and beginning to clap in lines, not 3

[@KatieCochran]

*cries in basics* This looks so hard. 😭😭😭

[@BillBraskyy]

I opened this video and it just started raining (apples).

[@RodHartzell]

That's a lot of booze you have on the table there.

[@maxswing]

Alcoholic 😂😂😂😂

[@starogre]
