How to do the Lindy turn, or 'swing out'

[@contentpolice6781]

-Me. dancing videos are stupid. *Lloyd makes a video about dancing* - Me. Holy shit i love dancing videos

[@Rexxae]

Never danced in my life but still enjoying this. edit: maybe I should

[@TheMisskittybee]

Growing up as a girl, dance classes I’ve had were all a source of frustration and stress because I’m clumsy and graceless. Yet I can really appreciate how Lloyd puts effort into not overwhelm a beginner. You’re a really good teacher.

[@Conservatarian]

Recommendation: when teaching a pattern, always, always demonstrate the pattern with a partner first. Then and only then begin teaching the individual footwork and hand and body moves. It is helpful to us students to be able to begin with the end in mind.

[@yair1876]

Thank you! I got confused with all that I am not suppose to do.

[@16m49x3]

This woman says nothing throughout the whole video, yet She shows so much character. I love her.

[@Moraren]

As someone from Finland I can confirm that we dont speak much. We mostly communicate through smiles, nods and slaps, as show in the video.

[@wierdalien1]

Moraren interesting. Especially as you have such a lovely language

[@apx1549]

"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless. Like a shopping cart in a supermarket. Now, you put a cup in the shopping cart, you put a bottle in the shopping cart. You put a tea pot in the shopping cart. Now a shopping cart can flow, or it can crash. Be a shopping cart my friend."

[@MyDouble]

Lindy is the real most interesting man in the world

[@diceman199]

I actually know two people (including me & excluding Mr LB here) who have also done LARP, Martial Arts, Medieval reenactment, roleplaying and lindy hop....we don't make videos however

[@yandroskhaos]

I could honestly listen to you talk about anything and still find it interesting

[@Ojisan642]

Fascinating to watch how Laura’s instincts are so good that she can follow all of the pauses and stops as you explain the moves.

[@Ojisan642]

Islam is cancer - don’t be cancer

[@drewinsur7321]

thats for sure is a weird medieval martial art, i will tell you that.

[@timeforsuchaword]

Supermarkets were rough places back in the day and you needed to know how to handle yourself properly.

[@wobblysauce]

Fighting is a dance as well...

[@drewinsur7321]

wobbly sauce i see you are a men of the flow as well. "when you so good, you start to see it in other things in life too".

[@rafaelpascoaliczerniej297]

Dancing improves your coordination, wich can be handy in fights

[@johnny2hats330]

I'm watching this in good faith that there will be some form of combat

[@johnladuke6475]

I can't wait to watch the Finnish girl fight the black guy, it should be awesome.

[@funwithmadness]

There was combat. Lloyd got whacked.

[@ThePoeticPariah]

I'd like to think this is the opposite of what Lloyd often discusses, which tends to be history with a relatively heavy focus on warfare. However, it's not. Rather, this is the different side of the same coin. A perfect balance. Today, he doesn't discuss conflict or war. He educates us on love. War and love. Almost zen, don't you think?

[@bdrakePBDA]

Well done, sir! The Lindy Turn/ Basic/ Swing Out took me a couple of years to feel comfortable with, another couple of years to fine tune, and the last 15 or so years to share the joy that is dancing to beautiful, happy music. Keep on swinging! As Frankie said, "A one, a two..."

[@domg6041]

Mr. Stealyourgirl

[@Gladiatvra]

A white shirt and combed hair...who are you, and what did you do with Lindybeige?

[@00Trademark00]

White is just a very light shade of beige.

[@xbbao]

13:47 Oh my, my dear Lindy 13:55 S E X U A L T E N S I O N

[@AndrewHislop1066]

My flat mate walked in at "I'm using three fingers"

[@Grimmlocked]

I led my ballroom partner into this while we were social swing dancing and she followed it perfectly out of nowhere! it was a lot of fun.

[@jasonwarbird]

Lindy lookin all 007 and snazzy, i can listen to you talk about anything man!

[@anarchclown]

Ok so now I'm watching random dance move instructions just because of how entertaining Loyd is.

[@benyed1636]

Why am I watching this? I don't even dance.

[@drewinsur7321]

cuz lindy is bae

[@jokunortti]

...ge

[@Jumboo364]

I’ve been trying to learn for 7 months. This is the first time I’ve heard someone with experience admit the difficulty. Thank you! This move isn’t intuitive and requires lots of practice.

[@leanna107]

Sixteen year lindy hopper follow here and I just wanted to say thank you so much for such an excellent lesson!

[@bearnicholas3830]

your fluid articulation makes all of this possible.Thank you for your dedication

[@andylyon3867]

I like these videos with other people in them, you connect with others is your thing, that's why the videos are so good between you and the camera...people is even better.

[@eviloatmeal]

"Delicious twang", now there's a technical term I haven't heard before!

[@rubenb8653]

I gotta admit, i dont really dance, but the way you explain things makes anything exiting :p

[@johnladuke6475]

Okay, I'm having trouble right at the start, when I reach out with the light tension in my grip? See, my opponent keeps delivering a cut to my extended left wrist and then my off-hand is no good for blocking or grappling. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[@Fitzwewels]

John La Duke I think you may have missed the point.

[@plasmo9891]

Fitzgerald I think you may have missed the joke.

[@lindybeige]

Start by saying something nicer about the other person's mother.

[@johnladuke6475]

Wait, what? I thought saying "your mother wears combat boots" was a way of complimenting her practical choice of footwear. I guess I've had it all wrong from the start. This is the value of good instruction!

[@danielstarnes7354]

It's a good thing you brought Laura along for this. Some of your combat videos could use a woman's touch, too.

[@mm-ew5df]

You are a great teacher. So many foundamental details to learn here and well explained. Thank you

[@LabRat10101]

I hear if you do the Lindy turn in Lindybeige's knitted jumper the sun will turn.

[@minuteman4199]

I don't even dance, and I found that pretty interesting to watch!

[@Moraren]

Lauras slap at 13:49 seemed to really throw him off! Welcome to finnish women Lloyd!

[@aluminiumknight4038]

He was terrified

[@coryman125]

I don't like dancing. Somehow I sat through the entire 17 minutes of this video quite happy, even laughing at parts. Also can we just take a moment to appreciate what a good sport she was about being thrown around like a shopping cart full of inexpensive, non-fragile goods?

[@287callum]

Lloyd’s personal preference is 3 fingers.

[@DerKopfsammler666]

13:47 - Lloyd has been friendzoned by Laura The Shopping Cart.

[@cliffordc9497]

DerKopfsammler666 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I skipped forward to see totally worth it.

[@rahulshah8911]

😂😂😂

[@mariocassina90]

I heard the sound of Lloyd's heart going in pieces, if you slow down the video you can clearly pick the exact second

[@ossiebird0]

No, he just didn't explain "The Fish Slapping Dance" aspect of the Lindy incorporated from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

[@Thatsme849]

She is so cute and he is so charming this is great haha

[@Thatsme849]

ok

[@DomCombatVids]

She's married so stuff it

[@guitarlover1204]

I just started taking lindy classes because of this video... and this helps me a lot to break down the moves. the swing out is indeed, difficult as all hell

[@Hyrtsi]

I come back to this video time after time again. It's one of the best out there. He's a "flipping marvellous" teacher ;)

[@tangosettb]

I wonder dose Lloyd teach a regular class I bet it would be great fun. This is one of the best discriptions of the lindy swing out I've come across..

[@actionau]

You're so much fun and not full of yourself, unlike many swing dancers on youtube. Subscribed.

[@patrycjawszeborowska5]

Has anybody else cried convulsively out of laughter during his marvellous verbal diarrhoea? This man stole my whole heart. Lead me or leave me! Swing out with me! My god! ❤️

[@alexeysaranchev6118]

Did the ancient romas use the lindy turn during the battles?

[@bl-ade]

Loved the video man thank you!

[@theimstorm689]

Flippingly genius, smashingly splendid, lovely jovely...how are my British expression thingies? Really awesome tutorial video.

[@philliptoone]

You explain dance very well and you are interesting to listen to. (I'm a dancer.)

[@eltic3]

When i clicked on this i really thought lindybeige made up his own dance...

[@eisaatana96]

Idiot

[@thebigdug]

He should though

[@ishashka]

Quoting Matt Parker, "the Mobius loop was discovered by a mr. Mobius, who liked it so much that he proceeded to name himself after it"

[@gosling4391]

Laura always stalks nicely onto the camera

[@mikangelshernandez5604]

The walking dance😉😉😉 Great Master ☺☺☺

[@Billchu13]

Excellent video, shared it with my swing friends. This took us *several months* to learn in weekly classes at our club in college, so like he says, don't feel intimidated if you feel like you don't get it right away. Next time you two should wear differently colored pants so that we can see your leg work.

[@barneyallen5377]

Shopping cart? FFS, even Lindybeige has sold out to American English. End of days is upon us!

[@MrChill56]

I find it quite funny that yesterday I had a first try in swingout on my course and today I can see your lesson about it, taught so differently, yet similar!

[@0clock275]

Damn, lindy is so alpha

[@wagondragon]

13:49 That cat slap ;)

[@pjabrony8280]

I don't know how it is in Britain or Finland, but in the US, if you break something in a shop and it's accidental, you're not obligated to pay. The store's insurance should cover it.

[@nellyboy86.02]

You know, I know his names Lloyd,but I always think of him as Lindybeige or Lindy 😂😂 that's some nifty footwork.....💯

[@perfection_in_progress]

Excellent video thank you so much 🎉

[@chrischologitas2409]

Is there something Lindy can't do?

[@neriumsuitedher]

Be boring, I'd say.

[@gareththompson2708]

Call an MG42 by its proper name.

[@Dragon.7722]

Oh snap.

[@tomstafford7510]

Walk under a low arch?

[@diwrnod]

Use a mobile phone.

[@CharleyGames]

I don't care for dancing, yet this was entertaining and interesting, you are truly deserving of more youtube success

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

Huh, think you might have fixed a little timing issue I had as I was taught to start pulling in on one, which can still work, but it always lead to a sort of learning curve every time we change partners as we have to feel each other out. Thinking about it, it likely made it easy to rush into the turn too early and lose momentum before the triple steps. Then again, a lot of the people in the club I learned it in also dance at events where they Lindy at crazy fast tempos that make it appear like they're slinging each other, lol

[@benhbook]

If anyone watching would like to find a club where you can learn to dance the lindy (or other dances), check out www.swingmap.com/ to view the location of your closest swing scene. There are clubs all around the freakin' globe!

[@steevenyeh]

Thanks man! Really appreciated! Sadly didn't find any in Brazil...

[@benhbook]

Hmm, I saw a few events on this site saintvitus.com/Lindy-Map/. A Google search or a social media search may help you find dance scenes new you!

[@msullivan92]

More videos like this please @Lindybeige ! I love military history and such but I'm a gypsy jazz musician and would love to start learning how I can dance to the music I play but I'm very nervous and don't like practicing in groups lol. More dance lesson vids!

[@benharbaugh1475]

what a well cultured guy

[@Ricksdetrix]

ways to turn: exist Lindybeige: there is another

[@Inspiringagenerationofwinners]

lovely . thanks for the lesson. you are a great teacher and u have an awesome helper

[@zulubeatz1]

I'm going to learn this This is gonna be big.

[@evancussans5739]

Looking snazzy, Lindy.

[@xtfragnarox]

SUOMI MAINITTU!! (i'm not even finnish)

[@Moraren]

I see you got all the important words down, but you forgot Ämpäri after Kalja. You are basically finnish now

[@jokunortti]

100 PERKELE!

[@itgaam]

xtfragnarox what's lindybeige doing in finland?

[@BillyTzENDURO]

I came to watch videos about swords armor and brutal historical killing, now I learn how to DANCE! :D

[@dschonsie]

Billy Tz a good sword fight is like dancing

[@scorv]

While one might normally find a good video a reason to applaud i found myself spinning my hands to avoid the collision :)

[@Immopimmo]

You know you've made it when you get a dance named after you. :)

[@chrismorse3862]

is it not the other way around?

[@Bajutsuka]

The dance existed long before he did 😂

[@jiversteve]

Excellent advice!

[@Pfsif]

13:49 the Castanza "move".

[@Centurion-yw5ky]

Great explanation, so many teachers teach the lindy turn incorrectly

[@bcabanas]

I laughed alot while visioning this video. I see all my errors. Any way, its a great help. Thanks alot 🤩🤩

[@nimloth8267]

What, has this guy always been making dance tutorials aswell?! Beside all the medieval stuff....

[@dethmaul]

Oh dear, you dance also? You're so cool! Fun to watch!

[@bobmegee]

Every time I hear him say lindy(insert move here) I think he's talking about himself in third person... I'm ok with this

[@iphidamasfilms1245]

really Lloyd... French cuffs?

[@jaelee671]

How do you do lindy beige?

[@martinphillpot2010]

Lloyd, can you do a video on the origin and correct use of the scholar's cradle?

[@frankharr9466]

SUCH a fun series. Also, FINLAND!

[@denipeacemaker9931]

this is now my favorite anime

[@andreasj864]

Congratz Finland and all Finns! :D

[@satchelmouth1]

So lindy turn is basically a swing out right?

[@Agrestic]

>take a break from youtube >come back to Lindy teaching dance 2018 is gonna be lit

[@sookw1071]

How can someone teaches a dance a dance move with so much fun n humor

[@221b]

I don't see a sweater. Where's the sweater?

[@stevegandalf4739]

dot dot dot ... and all the while I thought this was just natural, completely instinctive and spontaneous :) !!! :)

[@Gone29480]

at 12:36 he say's don't "alt f4" you wouldn't want to close the video now would you ?

[@davidcooke8005]

After all the history videos it's weird seeing you in another environment.

[@Peteruspl]

I have scanned this to see how it looks in full, or for a top-down step list... but I didn't see anything like this.

[@jabbojab]

Excellent job, lindy. Anything that you do is informative and fun to watch. The no edit monologue is great. Keep up the good work

[@unlockaut8547]

I am not interested in dancing at all, but Lloyd made it somehow still enjoyable.

[@squiggofant]

Who would win, Lara or the Spandau?

[@kaasmaster8892]

Spandautana?

[@kayleejsunshine]

“Holding on with thumbs? Quite unnecessary and BAD. (Don’t do it.)” this guy is hilarious

[@soniavivosarria8385]

Very good video and very funny haha :)

[@chaunceygardener9679]

Can you film your dance videos in a tank museum?

[@lotmitanni971]

you have very good taste lloyd :)

[@TommyRepulsed]

Just an Idea for a future video: do you think the sword used to Knight by the royal family is battle worthy?

[@briggsbughouses6291]

If only lindy could combine both tanks and swing dancing into one video.

[@tomstafford7510]

Only Llyod can make lindyhop interesting...

[@Chorochronchotor]

Not even Loyd can make lindyhop interesting :(

[@tomstafford7510]

He could make staring at a brick wall interesting. Actually, he did in one video 😂😂

[@velikiradojica]

Try watching some competition videos, I find them greatly amusing.

[@bdrakePBDA]

Better yet, just come dance! Once you are hooked on Lindy Hop, nothing else brings more joy.

[@crazyinsane500]

I dunno, he sure is tied with Simsin the lindyhop trained panda on the interest front.
