Lindy Hop Steps
Lindy hop steps can be complicated but we have worked hard stripping away the assumed complexity so swing dancers of all levels can gain more confidence in themselves. Below I’ve put together a collection of original lindy hop moves and concepts I’ve created over my years of traveling around the world. Enjoy!
Swing Dance Moves | Hand to Hand Charleston Shortcuts
This is such a tricky move to lead and follow. It requires the leaders to set up the tandem charleston and then quickly divert into another sequence with in seconds.
Swing Dance Moves | East Coast Swing pass by variation
Six count passes can often be overlooked due to their rhythmic timing simplicity. In my experience, there are plenty of creative swing moves and rhythms that can blossom from this simplistic pattern. Try replicating this embellished 6 count pass by pattern.
Swing Dance Moves | Creativity and Style
Lindy Hop swing can become boring once you focus too much on mastering the technique. After a while your movements will become too homogeneous creating a rigged adherence to getting “it” perfect.
Swing Dance Moves | Hacksaw Drift
The “Hacksaw” is a classic lindy hop step performed in the Hellzapopin’ clip by Al Minns. We added a slight variation to it.
Swing Dance Moves | Syncopations and Musicality
Musicality and syncopations are my speciality. We constructed this sequence to avoid a typical pattern associated with getting back to closed position.
