Is he dancing with his own mirror image? Where is he looking at?

[@Gytiss93]

that's hardly appropriate hand position

[@bjoernoswald2473]

Haha... that's what I thought. Somewhere closer to the shoulderblades it should be for correct leading experience.

committed to an inappropriate hand position and then has a bad case of hover hand too. Not sure I am convinced by his swingout technique either

@@thmusic7214hahaha 😂. This is Nathan Bugh! He’s one of the greatest Lindy Hop/vintage jazz dancers in the world. He’s using very subtle techniques and brilliant styling. Too advanced for the Lindy newbie or the casual viewer apparently. He doesn’t do the basic steps in a basic way so that’s probably why you think he’s not doing it “right”. He’s doing it brilliantly. Dance for another 20 years and then see how you do it.
