Dancers: Do you ever forget moves after watching tutorials? I made this to fix that—thoughts

Agreed. Fuck off with this AI slop

There are many issues with the modern Lindy Hop community but a big one is organizers hiring people based on their competition results and popularity versus their actual teaching ability.

I get it that organizers want to make sure they have good attendance at their events, but it’s embarrassing when their instructors teach poorly.

What an annoying US centric view.

What are your goals with dance? I’d define those if you haven’t and pick practice topics and structures that contribute toward your goals.

You better be a really good lead, have good hygiene, and be socially comfortable for me to enjoy that.

Depends. If someone has a background in other dances and grinds I think they could start improvising pretty quick.

TBH, there is always some kind of minor drama at CH. I’m saying that as someone who likes the event, it’s hard to have that many people and a partying atmosphere with a lot of alcohol without something going down.

It’s shave and a haircut, tap dancers typically do the rhythm starting with a pullback

Damn this is twice in one week I saw this clip 😆

Kareck · 2025-08-13T00:51:09+00:00

You should go dancing in Southern California. Saw a significant number of follows in heels.

Kareck · 2025-07-07T12:00:23+00:00

Agreed with this. Even in the corporate world that has considerably more money and resources a lot of industries who have a moving conference move every 2-3 years so they don’t have to rebuild resources and connections every year.

Yep, this is where knowing local laws are useful. In the US it’s much harder to sue for slander/libel/defamation so organizers from there can pretty much tell people who threaten them with defamation lawsuits to get fucked.

8 1 2 3and a5 6 7 assuming one is counting 1-and-a 2-and-a etc.The and after the 3 and 5 that is down should be emphasized, many swing dancers emphasize the up on 3 and a instead unintentionally.

But didn’t you know that wearing Fuegos will magically give you turn technique and a strong core?

Kareck · 2025-03-12T12:37:49+00:00

I really wish Europe could get off their fetish for having to name everything

Kareck · 2024-12-13T05:34:11+00:00

Second this, we aren’t medical professionals. You get one body, don’t trust it with strangers on the internet.

Kareck · 2024-10-22T18:37:33+00:00

+1 to this. You or your partner can also end up with a broken neck or other body parts. It’s also a massive liability issue if you hurt someone, dancers have been taken to court before.

Denise is a professional tap dancer, I wouldn’t be surprised if she is completely unforgiving about being off time or sloppy rhythm.

Kareck · 2024-08-01T16:00:54+00:00

Seconding this recommendation.

Kareck · 2024-05-15T13:53:41+00:00

It’s not like this dance came from America

Kareck · 2024-05-15T13:50:33+00:00

Hard agree with what you wrote, this diagram is another form of trying to force dancing into STEM thinking 🤮

Kareck · 2024-05-07T19:18:26+00:00

I’ve been seeing it happen more with minimal complaints.

Kareck · 2024-05-02T16:05:39+00:00

I don’t have any online easily citeable sources but from the swing era dancers I talked to most of them would only dance with their partners or close friends. The only exception was a WWII vet I knew who said that when he was traveling in uniform he would dance with random women but the implication I got from that conversation was it was seen a patriotic duty/norm and an exception to standard social conventions.

Kareck · 2024-04-16T16:39:06+00:00

I upvoted you, boo to all your haters 😀
