Basic Zydeco Dance Lesson - Part 1

[@celebesz]

I fell in love with zydeco music but on this other side of the world (Europe / Hungary / Budapest) I had no chance to learn the dance. So really thanks for this great vid and keep on dancing!

Thank you Greg, I found your instructions, very clear and easy to follow. I dance salsa on 1 so am not unfamiliar with quick quick slow timing, although in Zydeco timing (and feel to match the music is a little more bouncy) is the opposite slow quick quick slow break or rock step on 7-8! I got it! Thanks again!

Wow! someone just told me about this today. It looks like a lot of fun!

Awesome song great lyrics and great job on this thank you so much

@guyfax Great suggestion and I will do just that. The weight changes are the most important but the tap gives the whole motion and feeling of the dance and style that needs to be clarified. I will post a video clip with this info and possibly other tips. You have a good eye to notice this... -gb

Very well done! This is the way I understand the basics.

i also think bachata and zydeco have a similar movement. i have done bachata lots but didn't understand how to do zydeco just by observing, until now your video has broken it down for me & i can see the basic underpinning. thank you!!! who is the group doing zydeco version of "lean back" that you had at the beginning of the video? sounds like good stuff

Hope Zydeco comes to NH !!!

What's the name of these songs I love them

[@gbenusa]

Just search for Frank Nooney Young on facebook and you can shoot him a Facebook message. You will see a picture of him holding an accordion on his page... Just ask him if there is anywhere you can get the Lean Back track or others...

[@FullStrengthFunk]

Awesome. Even I can do that! Swats
