Country Swing Dancing **THE BASICS** Tutorial!

In this video we are teaching you the four BASIC country swing steps you need to sweep your partner off their feet. :) They are:
1. The basic step
2. The back-slide
3. Basic dip
4. Country slow dance

Country swing dancing is SO fun and SO easy. Seriously. You don't have to be a dancer or even have rhythm to learn how to country dance - and that is what makes it so. dang. fun. ANYONE can learn & no one cares if you change it up to fit your own style.

Thank you, this series is exactly what I was looking for, as a newbie. Most intro videos dwell on footwork. What most instructors don't seem to understand is if you are just starting, your goal is simply to go from "afraid" to "having fun, " and footwork has almost nothing to do with that. The way to get to "having fun" has almost everything to do with the upper body. You need about 4-5 fairly easy but cool-looking moves to go out and have fun. Footwork is basically for people who are trying to get from "having fun" to being "actually good" or at least "sorta know what they're doing." But most intro videos dwell on footwork, I think because most instructors just teach the way they were taught. I've been scouring the internet for videos on partner dances--WCS, ECS, two-step, country swing--and yours was by far the most helpful for me as a beginner. Thank you so much!

It would be nice to see all the lessons you just taught in a recap dance as you close out the video. Great video!

[karenpalacios]

I love her attitude, you both are great instructors!

[carmenanderson]

I absolutely love this you guys! I've been doing dance for a combined 16 years and its so hard to find fun young people who want to dance. I love that you have beginner video's as well as more advanced ones. Keep up the good work!

I haven't danced in a while and wanted to refresh before i go out again and couldn't believe it when i saw your dance hall. That's where i learned!

[chrishookie]

Wow!! Very Nostalgic to me... I learned your "Country Swing" back in the 1970's while attending college at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA. It has a unique 2-count pattern (with no rock step) which is why we called it the 2-count swing, it was also know as the Cal Poly Swing, and was lovingly known as Goat Ropin'.

Thank you! I’ve been dancing since I was little, but my boyfriend has never taken a dance lesson in his life so finding beginner stuff like this is awesome:)

[MumbleDnB]

Glad this stuff is here! I'm about to turn 25 and finally coming out of my shy shell and went to go do dance lessons last night!!! Super stoked enough to look up swing videos. Love the energy!

It's important to point out in each & every video that there are ONLY two (2) dance styles done on ANY social Dance Club/Lounge anywhere in the World. Spot/Rhythm & Progressive/Traveling. The congestion Problem (s) we all run into these days is that Dance Instructors do not continually reinforce (Over & Over/ Ad Nauseum All Spot/Rhythm Dance Styles should be done in the CENTER of the Dance Dance Styles are done in the two (2) outside lanes of the Dance Floor. Slower Progressive/Traveling Dancers on the inside Lane & the faster moving dances in the Outside FAST Lane. This way, we can ALL perform our dance of choice at the very same time to each particular Music Selection. Thank You!

matching flannels fit the vibe. 10/10 production.

each of your personalities are fantastic and your love and admiration for each other is beautiful. thanks for the instructions! very helpful compared to the other 2 videos i watched prior

[kelvincarrasco]

Straight to the point with the good movies ... love it

[abdullahalam]

A small suggestion: the reverb makes it hard to understand what you guys are saying, a mic for each of you would be immensely helpful!

You guys have amazing chemistry, looking forward to this channel growing a lot more! Great video!

Im teaching a friend of mine how to swing tomorrow. It’s been at least 5 years sense I’ve gone. This video is a perfect recap.amazing! Thank you!!

[SUNTRUTHTHEENDSLAYER]

Thanks so much for the videos, I have a date tomorrow and have been practicing. I feel like this will at least catch her eyes!

[caseysun]

Would love to see it all put together at the end with music !! ✨

I've never danced before this week, but after learning a few slow dance moves, and now this, it doesn't seem too bad

[normanrehme]

Good to see young dancers. Your style tends to prompt guys to be too aggressive with actions and if they want to dance for years, a girl’s rotator cuffs can’t take that much stress. So glad you taught to keep the “yank and crank” in check. Also please please teach dancers to respect dance floor space with others. At a bar there is usually very little floor space to do big moves and aerials. If you bump someone, apologize and reduce size of moves. I’ll watch more of your videos and use wireless mics from Rode to help us hear you. Thx.

Thank you for sharing this video. My wife and I have been married 42 years and are just learning to dance very basic country swing thanks to your videos! Keep up that dancing together as a couple. What a wonderful way to bond and exercise together. Can you please message me some suggested locations to go dancing in the Northern Utah area appropriate for old religious people?

Thank you! I look forward to putting what I learned out onto the floor! 👏🏻🤠🇺🇸
