V-Step - Dance Tutorials with Smilin (E05) Electro Swing Academy

Today is V-Step Party! The 5th episode of our 10-part dance tutorial series is now up. The dancer and tutor #Smilin shows you today how to learn the #VStep in a simple and practical way. There's nothing better like getting moving and exercising in those tough lockdown days. You can even dance and train at home, so #KeepOnSmilin and let's go! #ItMustSchwing 😀 🔥 💃 🎩 🙌

V-Step (Episode 05)

1. Start position: feet are in a „V“ position

2. Swivel in the toe of your left foot, while you swivel out the heel of your right foot


3. Go back to the start position in the same way you came in

4. Swivel out the heel of your left foot, while the toe of the right foot swivels in


IMPORTANT: weight change! When the weight is on the toe, the weight on the other foot must be in the heel!

TIP: grab a chair to practice


VARIATION: bend both of your knees in an extreme way, when both of the toes showing to the inside. It makes the move more energetic.


ARMS: you can move your arms in circular motions (circle in/out, travel navigator by Sven Otten)

[organicgardeningtogetherca]

How this doesn't have a million views from having to watch it over and over again to learn I'll never know

[poidogguy]

Much more clear and precisely explained than the last one! Kudos!❤

[blasteur]

Those videos really makes me want to learn swing dancing, I wish there places on Paris that could teach me...

[lukdeathrage]

i learned the V-step (from this vid lol) and did it in front of my friends and they were amazed! xD

[LaEscoriawa]

hace poco conozco el electro swing y hacia este paso de manera inconsciente cuando me emocionaba XD

[arturmaccagnan]

Can I play Peeping Tom with that steps? Nice to learn with you Smilin!!

[pauline]

it is much easier to learn dance steps if the instructor has their BACK to you. Way easier to copy. She's Ok otherwise.

RAKA TAKKA TAKA STEP TUTORIAL OF V FAV STEP

[mikael]

Is this move and happy feet the same? Otherwise it seems very simular

[richardjohnson]

I love white Chucks on an attractive lady including this one and love dancing so no problem there. But why is a dance instructor or any dancer wearing heavy rubber sneakers? Chucks are pretty heavy and the thick rubber would help keep her feet stuck to the floor inhibiting moment, especially when sliding or twisting her foot on the floor. Otherwise very cute and sexy.

She's good but I think her form is too loose. Electro should be more fluid like the whole body is used to the motion.
