Dancers from teens to seniors are donning zoot suits and swingy skirts and enjoying the resurgence of big-band swing. You'll be ready to bounce to the beat after getting instruction on beginning six-count swing, the Charleston, and the lindy hop from this lively video. Instructors Evin Jacobson and Noel Galang start at the most basic level, accessible even if you're a beginner with multiple left feet. They clap out the rhythm, show basic footwork, demonstrate the leader's and follower's parts separately, and gradually develop the dance with a couple of turns and variations--nothing complicated. The instructors are easy to understand and follow, and the camera is at the right place at the right time. Many technique tips help you develop the "swing style."
