Lindy hop basic footwork

[@Steininger_Art]

"It doesn't matter" is probably the best advice you could give anyone learning anything new that doesn't involve a firearm.

[@MatthewShute]

Or explosives. Or wild animals. Or noxious chemicals. Or considerable altitudes or depths. Everything else, though, pretty much.

[@Lothar445]

It doesn't matter if you're using the crowded city roads to do your Formula One tryout sessions. What could possibly go wrong...

[@lindybeige]

Thank you. Unusually, I did two takes of this, and then had a tough time picking between them, because they were exactly the same length and very similar in quality, even though the jokes and minor aspects of what I talked about were different.

Hold the axe near the head on 1 and 2, then let your forward movement carry the head forward as you slide your hand down the grip on 3 and 4.

Yes. It happened that way round. In 1927 they called it Lindy hop after me. I moisturise a lot.

feel like every time lindy makes a dance video his normal subscribers just sit awkwardly at the back of the room holding axes and wearing ww2 hats, while the dance community enters the channel for a video and leaves again.

[@AVToth]

You will never know how much this has freed my thinking about swing style dancing. Thank you, thank you. I come from the south and southwestern part of the USA. The dancing styles in the southwestern part are dances that are basically the Texas Two Step and several variations of two step. Dances where if the steps aren't mirrored there will be pain. I could never do dancing like you demonstrate, I always prided myself on being able to follow anyone. I could learn the steps but I couldn't figure the cues one gets from the person leading. OMG! I don't have to. Basically if we are both doing A or B then if our steps aren't mirrored, step for step, so what. The occasional difference adds a little cool to it. I feel like Dorothy. It was there all the time.

[@bartekkko]

Oh dammit, I feel like I missed the first lesson and now I'm sitting in class trying to find someone who was on the first lesson and take their notes

[@rodrigodepierola]

I'd love to see both of you dancing a whole song. No explanations (maybe as captions) just a full-on dance.

[@azdgariarada]

"99.972% of all footwork done in lindyhop belongs to either type A or type B"?? I'm suspicious of the validity of your quoted significant figures Nikolas.

[@lindybeige]

Always question everything. Did you know that 86.4 % of all statistics are just made up on the spot?

[@johnladuke6475]

Seventy-two per cent of people know that.

[@azdgariarada]

60% of the time, I hear that joke every time. ;-)

[@LordXelous]

However, 100% of people quoting this very fact, have been medically proven to exercise a memory for Guinness adverts.

[@16m49x3]

[@Nithhoggr]

I gotta say Lindy, you're adding a little sophistication to my life one video at a time. I love the broad range of topics you cover and the fact that you do so many things, never dull. Keep at it.

[@augustdenger8231]

This sorta stuff is why I love this channel

[@GCurl]

This footwork is far more superior compared to the HEMA footwork, if you do this during a duel you'll confuse the enemy and win without much effort.

[@00Trademark00]

And if you're really good you might even seduce your enemy.

[@Gruvmpy]

00Trademark00 Sounds like a bad roll in dnd

[@kimba9652]

I love this man and his method of teaching. He's so light with humor. 10 thumbs up

[@CrowandTalbot]

The fact that Lindybiege knows the Lindy Hop and can teach it to others is satisfying to my heart. It's heart satisfying.

[@Curiosity017]

Proof that I will watch literally anything provided that ur boi Lloyd is doing it

[@alicaido6616]

I've no clue why this is entertaining, but yet again, you amaze me with your wide talents

[@Mr-Tibbster]

It's one of my favourite dance styles to do. I like the zaniness to it, the aesthetic, the jazz/swing music and the overall freedom you feel with it. I'v never done partner Lindyhop (never had a partner to do it with), but I love doing solo style. Like Al & Leon.

[@GeordieHandle]

This is brilliant, I love the variation in your content.

[@irgendwonurwann]

We need more of this, please! I love lindybeiged Lindyhop and fancy quite a bit of a lindyhopped Lindybeige as well!

[@theothertoddg]

I can't believe Lindy stole my dancing style near the end. I expect royalties.

[@pieroh60]

I last went to a Lindy hop work shop with my wife recently without having any previous experience in partner dancing. What happened was exactly what you describe...For a while I managed to keep the steps up, while my body wanted to move freely to the music. Ok... with the basic steps it worked ok more or less after some time, but things became worse, when more steps were introduced (6-count, 8-count and turns). That's why I find your statements so helpful and encouraging: It doesn't matter! Everything is alright! Thank you for that!

[@shirleyli9767]

A great teacher. You made basic steps easier to learn. After we get the basic one, change it to triple step. Brilliant! Thank you very much.

[@LabRat10101]

Can the Lindy Hop not be done in Lindybeige's knitted jumper?.

[@MrB1923]

The jumper must stay in Britain. Bad things might happen.

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

Its national treasure at this point.

[@AlanThomas-hp3fn]

Best tutorial ever. taking something made complex and making it simple .

[@Sahfiel13]

The best teachers of the arts, martial, dance or otherwise, are able to leave you with something relevant in most walks of life and rather than strict edicts focus on helping you find a flow that works for your own self discovery. I believe that this is so with Lindybeige and his advice on this matter. "It doesn't matter", in this context, feels very familiar. If you think about it, it isn't that far from the phrases many would certainly know: "the way is no way", etc. Sage advice! Bravi, bravi, bravi! To discourage limitation and to encourage expression and innovation is.. I feel.. an element most great teachers possess. Rather than lording over the works of others they help them find their own way while giving aid in the process.

[@Pfsif]

Would the "Lindy hop" be better performed with a Bren gun or a Spandau?

[@lindybeige]

A bren gun improves everything. It's a bit like cream.

[@anatypicallyhumanperson7200]

Lindybeige cream doesn't improve everything. Try putting it in a fuel tank.

[@vaclav_fejt]

I can confirm. Czechnology!

[@GunFunZS]

Given that the dancing he shows had always been called the Charleston, and the Lindy Hop is also a well defined different dance with overwhelmingly consistent nomenclature the spandau episode is analogous

[@bluelightningnz]

You're thinking of a different kind of dancing, the "spandau ballet".

Great video! I always wondered why a lot of times when I see very good lindy dancers dancing they are not triple stepping especially to fast songs. Triple stepping is what I've always been told to do, and now I realise they've been doing the 'single time' footwork or another one of the right type A or B which I'll have to try out doing myself.
