Learn the Tranky Doo - For Lindy Hop & Swing Dance

[@katiestevenson6232]

I've been working on this for a few weeks now, maybe a month and I find this soooo helpful! Thank you for breaking it up into chapters so I have a place I can easily return to. Best Lindy Hop Chanel on YT I recommend you to everyone with feet. ❤️❤️❤️

[@LauraGlaess]

This mages me so happy! Thank you!

I attenpted to learn the tranky doo during the first lockdown and the videos I found weren't as good as yours for sure! Love how you filmed the steps as well as all the historical information you bring in!

[@AbeChao]

Very comprehensive! Excellent video! Thank you!

[@boogiewoogielady4021]

Love your dance style and your personality ❤❤❤❤

[@PeppermintTaste]

Haha, the dubbing! Very fitting. :)

[@LauraGlaess]

We had fun with that

Great video Laura! Ethos and history just as important as the steps :) I used to teach the Tranky Doo many years ago but I haven't danced it in literally 6+ years. Then earlier this week the Dipsy Doodle was played at a local dance and I joined in and that way I learned that I no longer have it all clear in my head, lol. Whoops. So I went looking for a refresher, and I got that here but also plenty of new ideas about how to do it, which is great :)

[@LauraGlaess]

If I don't keep doing a dance, it's all gone. No matter how long I've done it - lol

[@ВладимирМарченко-ч2х]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I've always looked for investigation like this, because there are fo many different versions. And I absolutely love the vintage style you do that movements!

[@LauraGlaess]

Thank you so much!

[@crackedoreo]

Hello Laura ! Thank you for all your amazing videos, your amazing work, your amazing dancing, your energy and passion :D I live in a french city where the is a really really small community, and it's a struggle, so your videos are a blessing ! And, also, I wanted to tell you one thing : challenge accepted. I'll send you a video of the Tops and Wilda Trankydoo routine (the first part) before the end of the summer. I found by "accident" a tutorial for this version, and I love it. I'll try to master it and teach it to my students :D Take care of yourself ! And of course, the Brooks Prumo Orchestra is amazing as well :)

[@LauraGlaess]

I can't wait to see what you do!

[@maasan7083]

@@LauraGlaess it was just an amazing coincidence. I started learning the Tops and Wilda routine, then started watching your video, and well I had to accept the challenge ! I'm not done practicing yet, but in the mean time, take care and keep up the great work 😊

TE AMO LAURAAAA

[@Luboffin]

Brilliant! I badly needed a tranky doo refresher. Thankyou! 🥳

[@Mimeconmigo1]

Love it! Thanks for this, made me feel like practicing thanky doo again. 💙❤️

[@TheBooklover1848]

My theory about where the clap-clap in the second phrase came from is that it was in the version of the Tranky Doo Frankie taught in the 90s (the NY Swing Dance Society have a video of a performance of it on You Tube so you can see), which people mixed into the Spirit Moves version. Plus Tops and Wilda's version has a break in the second half that includes a clap-clap after a hop-stamp (it's actually very cool!) So it's also possible people picked it up from there?

[@LauraGlaess]

I'm so going to lift that Tops and Wilda section. Absolutely. You're theory on the clap clap makes sense. I'll check out the video!

[@corinnelarson7368]

Thank you!! I know it would be a long video, but could you do one on the big apple routine? 🙏😊❤

[@LauraGlaess]

I want to. Maybe in two parts. It would be such a long video...

[@gracewalsh3549]

Do you know if the documentary, ‘The Spirit Moves’ is available anywhere? I’ve looked and can’t find it. I’d love to watch it😊

[@LeahJenae]

I’m strong ( years of weight training and running track, playing volleyball) , but not naturally flexible and relaxed in arms like you. Any suggestions to getting more loose and relaxed? Like should I just stretch more before I dance? Ha

[@rossindenver]

Great dance! And I think I need that dress! Designer? Store? Thanks!

[@LauraGlaess]

Ha! I got it at Goodwill last year. It's a good one, huh?

[@rossindenver]

@@LauraGlaess, Thank You! it's so swishy and perfect. Is there a label it in?

[@jamesthucsr3437]

Do you have any songs to share with us to download for practicing the Lindy Hop dance?

[@LauraGlaess]

Here's a nice easy playlist I put together. I'll be putting together more in the future -- just gotta make the time. open.spotify.com/playlist/2QVbXvTWQ5ovGnrEZKgn3g

[@ollieandotis]

Not sure where the claps come from but here’s a video of frankie teaching it with the claps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5fddGunj7ibrdksi=kQBDmBaJrFep8juH
