Very nice, thank you so much! 🙂👍👍👍

Thank you.

Thank you! Great exercises!!! Thank you for sharing 😍🙏

Very easy to follow instruction. Thank you

🙂👍👍👍

Thanks for this..brand new to lindy/swing. First class last night and couldn't get my head around the triple step. Kept springing forward 3 times! Ha. Tri-ple- step has cleared this up for me. Best explanation Ive found and Ive been watching a fair few videos. Cheers

😊😊😊🎉

What a fun video! Wonderful community in Ourense you found. My wife and I are Camino walkers and first became familiar with you guys from your Camino videos- they are great and we enjoy your fun personalities- we did not know your dance background, but on one of your videos you were spontaneously moving around, and my wife exclaimed “Lainey’s definitely a dancer!” Thanks for posting all your great content!!

Which wood is it

great teaching!!!

I have had shoulder/back pain after Lindy Hop dancing for many years. So much that I had to switch to another dance style. Regularly doing these exercises have allowed me to return to Lindy Hop-- with no pain : )

2:46 This moment is so badass. The two couples on the right, both doing the same move, but one goes for the "hit" (nice and big) while the other goes for the "after-hit" (nice and small). This is why I love Balboa

it's really useful video for me. thanks a lot~!!

What are the other contestants' names? I'd love to know

Looks alot more like tap dancing at the end 😄👏

What brand of polyurethane did you use ? Is it slick enough for Balboa ?

Does the break at the end of half breaks have a name? (Step, triple step....)

Very cool

Yes!!! The correct angle! Thank you Lainey and all the best to you! :)

I'm exhausted thinking about it, but a great drill

Hey! Great video! But can you do something about the orientation? Thank you! And I love your videos!! 😎😎

Lainey thank you for this. I've been dancing for 2 years and recently was told to work on my triple step, absorbing into the floor as you said and my teacher said like a sponge. Anyone can do a triple step but like anything, there is a right way and a wrong way. This is an excellent demonstration as are all of your videos. I love your detailed explanation!!! Thank you so much!!!

He Lainey, I'm new to the channel and was wondering if you could make a video on foot care and how to stretch and massage the feet to remedy foot pain. Sometimes dance gives me foot pain and was wondering if you could show how to deal with it. Thank you!

Yay for me being the first thumbs up and to comment! I’ve missed you Lainey. I hope you get back to doing travel videos as well. I was watching this video while I was doing the dishes. Balboa is probably one of the few dances that you could do in place while doing dishes. ha ha.

Nice I think I will do this build to, for practice in my garage! IT is pretty neat

Where on this planet this video were made ? ......Amazing Lateral gravity !!!????😂😂😂

hi great video question how do you sit up during a jazz split cause i can't do it i lean back having my hand to hold me up the more i strctch my leg out the more i lean back without sitting up please help

Although I have recorded my own video from jazz class (happy times before COVID) and have found various other videos with interesting executions of this routine, I find myself coming back to this video, whenever I my memory is fuzzy about a step or too. The initial break down and color coded stamps are very helpful.

Thats a great drill

Thanks Lainey. Always smiling and always awesome.

Lainey, I’ve been watching your travel videos for a while now and had no idea that you were a swing dancer. I’ve also been watching a lot of swing dance videos over the last couple of years after seeing a group of people swing dancing in San Sebastian, Spain. I had no idea that people were still doing this type of dancing. I was in Washington DC last year while the ILHC was going on but I had no idea until I got home and realized I missed it. Had I known 25 years ago that people were still doing this I’d probably be doing it as well. I guess I was hanging out with the wrong crowd.

This is not the dean Collins shim sham this is Frankie Manning shim sham Lindy Hop Dean Collins shim sham is different

Excellent help, thank you.

Wow, just call a professional carpenter near your location and ask them for tips on the matter? Wax and polishing makes the floor slippery (or fine sanding, better yet planing real wood), but wax and polishing IS ONLY WORTH IT for QUALITY WOOD, not cheap stuff you are using, so dont even bother doing that! You will damage the ground where you place that thing because of the hinges. With that bouncing and moving even stone will get scratched by metal. Not a smart idea not having it sit plane, so: wrong hinges. Also: no need with that cheap ply wood to use ANY sort of varnish or whatever. If you want to go plywood, just throw it down and use it with the right shoes (whatever you are weaing, you sure are not professional dancers if you dont use leather soles ... chrome or smooth. See a cheap throw down floor for dancing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIGap6aomJqibsk It is easier to set it up on some beams that will also allow it to flex A LITTLE BIT !!!!! You can just put (self drilling) screws thru (undersite, DONT go all the way thru to the top -.-) Please, dont use that wood again, that you are using there. Use cheap plywood like in the video: there is so much glue in that stuff that it will even last thru rain (once). But yours will get destroyed by water easily...

Love it!

Love the ending!

Oh my goodness. My poor body thanks you.

That was a cool pattern!! Well done 👍

Thank you!

Should've had the words in it. R.I.P. Benny Goodman & Louis Prima

Love these! Many many many leaders and followers should do this regularly! I found that when a follower is receptive I can actually do the two handed excersise with them on the social dance floor and it is fun and they respond really well to it also keeping that for the next pattern. I start out going sugar push - which is sadly not often taught to beginners well - and from there I go into this two handed open position. And it is a perfect position for mirroring, for giving the follower a very clear signal of: "hey, you do something and I mirror you". And we can playfully explore the technique, the collaboration aspects of lindy as well as improv and even sometimes musicality if the follower can combine all these aspects. Afterwards I often have beginning and intermed followers come up "you didnt go pattern pattern pattern! That was so much fun doing that." - as they finally explore more of that dancing is not a repetition of pattern-to-pattern process. Great tool, I would recommend this practice to leaders with beginning or intermed followers who lack technique as well as advanced followers helping beginner or intermed leaders in the same aspect. Keep it playful if on a social scene and dont become a "TEACHER" (unless they ask for help) ;)

I am fond of lectures on swing dance history.

Is the Dean Collins more complex than the Frankie Manning version?

Cooool

love the video but the quality is very bad

Ann Johnson (not Ann Mills) is credited with performing the first Lindy Hop airstep with Frankie Manning. Anne Mills is a well know Southern California original Balboa dancer.

great to discover this gem!

Good stuff 👍

Thank you for uploading this! This is so useful!

Haha. Remember the time I called it in and outs? Haha. Then you said something along the lines of in and out burgers. Haha.
