Lindy Hop Swivel Exercise with Evita Arce

[@eponymousIme]

OMG, you just solved a conundrum for me. I dance a lot of swing, ballroom, and Argentine Tango. Your comment about the wide/legs-apart swivel made my jaw drop. That's what I've seen on all the local Lindy dance floors (and many videos) and so I thought that's how it was supposed to be done, but I always felt awkward and uncoordinated doing it, so I avoided it. But your exercise for practicing swivels is very similar to the one use for practicing ochos in Argentine Tango, so I immediately related. Easy peasy! I'm going to totally change the way I approach swivels. Can't wait to try it with partner once we're past COVID-19 and can go out dancing again. BTW -- the split screen is *very* effective for teaching. And thank you for having good sound!!

[@robylucino9067]

Yes linda, I agree, but this type of swivel are typical of Latin American dances...sorry Evita, review your technique.

[@SyncopatedCity]

Thanks Roby. I'm glad they have Latin style to them. I try to hold on to my roots and enjoy the twist as much as I can. @@robylucino9067

Thank you for share! Really nice your exercise!. I loved!

[@swivelken248chan6]

Wow. Nice dance tutorial. I am not a dancer though but we metal drummers also use swivel technique like that too for fast feet on the pedal. Heel toe technique for drummers also is based on a dance move called tap dancing.

[@henrywhite8202]

can you do without high heel? No one wear high heels in social dance now, most are sneakers

[@conradinum8336]

Fantastyczne!

[@treeoftrees7523]

If I may suggest you kindly show us the target movement complete then you start segmenting it.

[@Inspiringagenerationofwinners]

[@nadinemorcos7028]

Random comment, but I like your American accent :) Good enunciation!

[@bpdance2174]

Great dancing shoes. Where can my wife find these?

[@SyncopatedCity]

These shoes are from La Duca. I had them custom made to match a costume that Michael and I performed in. The website is www.laducashoes.com

[@bpdance2174]

@@SyncopatedCity thank you, and your instruction videos are 5 stars!

[@gardensenglishanddance]

I come from a different easthetic background (ballet and ballroom), so the swivels with legs wide apart look ugly to me. The way you show them is much better!

[@lancyliu2602]

wow great instruction

[@tonicrvnts]

So, you are basically doing tango's ochos 🤔

[@berndbaumgarten7525]

... except for the fact that she steps with the opposite foot, e.g. with the right foot to the right side. In the ocho, the follower steps with the left foot to the right side.

[@juancarlosbonillazea7570]

Ok
