Tuck turn - a simple Lindy hop move

Показать описание
The tuck turn explained, with some notes on how to lead and follow turns in partnered dance.

The Lindy hop is a 1930s swing dance, often called the 'jitterbug'.

Some people will be amazed, even annoyed, that I devote such little effort to teaching the footwork. This being a video, you can of course copy it simply by watching what we do, and then doing the same. Importantly, though, you should understand that it isn't terribly important what you do with your feet with this sort of move. I give my partner direction and timing, and she dances in that direction her way, using whatever footworks she likes.

When exactly do you start the push the lead the turn? Usually about the start of the fourth beat - F of 'four', if you like. An alternative timing is 'whenever you like'.

This video was shot with the help of Laura Halttunen of The Jazz Factory, Helsinki's primary dance studio for the swing dances.

I built a sound-baffle around the camera, which blocked out most of the echo from the large room, but blocking it all out was impossible.

The gall on this man, how dare you teach me how to dance, I am forever grateful.

I admire how you do that so naturally. I'm damn stiff and totally uncapable of doing something like that. I mostly watch these vids 'cause I'm amazed by what you do, and how you do it.

You and the lady dance beautifully together! Makes me think that you've danced together before on numerous occasions, so that you can each anticipate how the other is going to move and can reciprocate accordingly.

I'm not a dance fan and don't subscribe to you channel for the Lindy, but I appreciate your passion for the dance, and I love Ms. Halttunen's curtsey.

I wish they taught dancing in school when I was a kid. Waltzes and dances like this.

do you call yourself lindybeige because you do the lindy hop and wear beige?

Lloyd, what would you consider to be a good tune to dance lindy hop to for beginners? With a beat that is perhaps more easily matched to the steps when you're not that familiar with neither the music nor the dance style? Cheers.

I actually had to google what Lindy is when I started watching your video a year ago. I never expected to see it here.

I bet an army of Lindy hop dancing hoplites would scare the Romans off.
