    The Lindy hop is a 1930s swing dance, often called the 'jitterbug'.
    Some people will be amazed, even annoyed, that I devote such little effort to teaching the footwork. This being a video, you can of course copy it simply by watching what we do, and then doing the same. Importantly, though, you should understand that it isn't terribly important what you do with your feet with this sort of move. I give my partner direction and timing, and she dances in that direction her way, using whatever footworks she likes.
    When exactly do you start the push the lead the turn? Usually about the start of the fourth beat - F of 'four', if you like. An alternative timing is 'whenever you like'.
    This video was shot with the help of Laura Halttunen of The Jazz Factory, Helsinki's primary dance studio for the swing dances.

    I built a sound-baffle around the camera, which blocked out most of the echo from the large room, but blocking it all out was impossible.

      The tuck turn has never been known to kill Frenchmen. However, when well executed in front of a madamoiselle, it may afford one the opportunity to stuff the French.

      The Bren is so accurate, that it's been considered for use as anti-satellite weaponry.

      So did Lindy change his mind?
      I quite find that it adds something to my appreciation of Lindy that I disagree with him on some things, sort of like the idea he illustrated in that video where he crosses out articles in the paper that he agrees with.

    • @fluets5658

    • @Fistwagon
      @Fistwagon 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Clearly Lloyd will have changed his mind now since that was an old video and everything Al Gore and his expert scientists predicted turned out to be true, the polar ice caps melted back in 2013, polar bears are extinct and food is running out. Billions will now die because we wouldn't hand over all power to a global government. International socialism could've saved us. With socialism no one has to starve.

    Lloyd, what would you consider to be a good tune to dance lindy hop to for beginners? With a beat that is perhaps more easily matched to the steps when you're not that familiar with neither the music nor the dance style? Cheers.

      About 37-40 bars a minute is a good starting mid-tempo (138-160 beats per minute). Slower is not easier - it's harder. Apollo Jump by Lucki Millinder is quite steady. th-cam.com/video/Vn6IEs07psk/w-d-xo.html

  • @PatheticApathetic
    @PatheticApathetic 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    It's sort of strange to me, albeit oddly satisfying to see European embrace something that's so quintessentially American as jazz and swing. I say the satisfaction is odd because I don't usually feel a sense of vicarious satisfaction or pride in aspects of my country's history or culture with which I had nothing to do

    • @lindybeige

      I agree. Most cultures in that general area are somewhat insular but South Korea has almost been craving new an interesting cultures to come share. I have been there once or twice. They have really taken a liking to American style BBQ by the way, ha. It feels like a two way street though as they seem more then happy to share their culture too, which is nice.

    @smackedinthejaw 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Ah, the old tuck turn. I'm pretty sure that this "dance" was originally an evasive movement learned by 16c infantrymen to lessen the chance of being hit by over-sized double-bitted axes, fire arrows, highly poisonous swords which killed instantly, the arrows from ineffective mounted archers and even the charge of a berserker....sadly the infantrymen could never avoid the flaming Spandau's!!!

    Wait?! Where is the part about axes? :-D
    Lindybeige, you're a rather awesome gentleman, if I may say so myself.
    On a side note, this looks very similar to jive.

  • @calvinscheuerman
    @calvinscheuerman 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know why I find this so interesting. Yes, the lovely lady is indeed quite attractive, but one would think that seeing a lindy hop video while binge watching videos about tanks and such would be rather jarring; perhaps even irritating, despite the lovely young lady. I quite like this though. If I knew how to move my body like a human, perhaps I'd give it a go.

    Lindy i gotta be honest mate- i really like the fact you're enjoying Lindy Hop enough to want to push it to a wider audience, but you should set up another channel for this- i really wanna see more history videos mate- as you are to me like the awesome History teacher I never had and the reason I have a renewed interest in History. hope this doesn't come across the wrong way. all the best Ben

    • @JustinShaedo
      @JustinShaedo 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm a Lindy Hop fanatic. Most of the things I watch on TH-cam are dance. But I agree 100% with BenniboiBadman. Just my opinion but Lindy fans and History fans would both be better served by separate channels. I'd still watch both.

    • @adorabell4253
      @adorabell4253 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Lloyd clearly labeled all his dance videos so I don't see a problem with them being on this channel. He also puts up rants that have nothing to do with history.

    The last bit about the footwork is just like grammatical rules in creative writing. At beginner level, you don't know all the rules. At intermediate level, you're following the rules as they're written. At advanced, you've learned when and how to break the rules for creative flavour or a personal touch.

    Hey. Iv enjoyed most of your videos thus far, however some cause a fair bit of controversy to my mind. Such as this one. I like that you have a wide and varied range of interests. Keep up the good work and I'm sure il enjoy future posts. Peace

    Lindy do you think maybe you could make a video on your favourite music/bands/genres? if you like music that is...
    It would be an interesting yet not to intrusive glimpse into your personal life and your mind you can tell alot about someone by the music they listen to :) just a thought

    good work, but you need a gilet. That is, a waistcoat with a proper back. Extra points for the bow tie and not wearing a hat. The latter which I understand that men never did indoors back in the day.

      At a swing dance event, people dance with lots of others in an evening. It is considered rude to dance with just one person all night.

    • @zahexman
      @zahexman 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      due to my social anxiety I have to have someone I trust to be around when I go out. Actually, the last time I went dancing, my friend did not show up and I spent the whole time sitting against the wall having a panic attack and trying not to burst into tears and look like a fool.
      None of my other friends dance anything besides two step (which I do not)

    • @ironlion5836
      @ironlion5836 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I suffer from social, and generalized anxiety mate (as well as major depressive disorder)and I would just like to say I know how you feel mate.if there is something I really want to do (for me martial arts) I don't really feel comfortable doing it unless im with friends. and even then im anxious it just makes it easier to deal with.just know there are people out their like you and they understand how hard it is, and they know your a fighter for trying to do what you enjoy despite it mate. even though you had a panic attack you were still there to have it you still turned up mate, that's better than iv done in the past.keep doing you mate and stay strong.

    Coming from a martial arts background, I watched this as martial arts instructions - I'm confused though: Where's the grip? The throw? The finishing blow?
    ...maybe this is why I never waltz.
    (It's interesting and educative to learn about new arts. I appreciate it!)
