    I'm crazy about Matt. He's really inspired me to push forward and make new progress. I think it's common in dance (and really all forms of creative expression) to feel like you have plateaued once you have reached a certain level, but this has given me fresh steam to press on and continue to improve. Thank you for your channel and all your hard work. Electro swing is very special to me, and your content is a wonderful tribute to what makes this fresh take on a classic style so awesome. Dance safe!! :)

      Thank you for the kind words! Much appreciated! I know what you mean. I also feel like that I've plateaued as of late, so really need to learn some new moves. A lot of time getting some inspiration from other creative folk can help in making progress. I think that's one of the great things about creative expression. One such expression can inspire another in someone else. :)

    Just started my one year journey today. I learn 3 things. 1) My cardio is trash, need to be in much better shape. 2) I have absolutely no rhythm. 3) I spent today learning the running man for 45 minutes... Going to take a few more days to figure it out. Thanks for the videos, I learned a lot.

    • @MatthewAshworth
      @MatthewAshworth  4 года назад

      That is great to hear that you started on this. In the beginning it can always seem quite hard. This type of fast-paced dance is a good cardio exercise, so the more you do, the better your cardio will become. For the rhythm, I'd recommend to start with slower-paced songs so that you can keep up. Faster-paced songs can be confusing to follow (I still get confused by some of them). I did a tutorial video on Running Man a long while ago. Maybe it can help give you some tips. :)

    • @MatthewAshworth
      @MatthewAshworth  4 года назад +1

      You are welcome! V-step is a good early move to learn because it introduces us to the idea of mind over body. Once you get a hang of it, you gain some momentum to help you with the other moves. It also forms as a basis for many other moves.

    Ok, this is awesome. After our last conversation, it's cool to see more of your range and development, and to see you indoors too. (I know this video already existed, I just hadn't seen it until now.) You learned fast, and it does look like you've got experience with other sports/physical exertion, maybe even martial arts? You've got the archetypical brawler's build which can make even smooth and fluid movements seem more heavy/impactful, but you've got great knee/elbow articulation. Your choice of wardrobe is already amazing, mixing form fitting and relaxed cut is a great idea for you.
    For hand and ankle speed/flow weights and underwater drills are great. In my high school, way back in the 90s swing/ska revival, there was actually a pretty sizeable martial arts/dancer overlap so you saw guys with the training weights doing katas and tai chi, and then having great control and flare on the dance floor later on.
    Ballsy as hell showing your whole process from the beginning and way to kick ass and keep at it.

    • @MatthewAshworth
      @MatthewAshworth  5 лет назад +2

      Thank you very much for the feedback and positive comments. I didn't realise my martial arts background was so obvious. You are spot on about that. I did krav maga for 5 years, and I also have some experience with karate during childhood. Martial arts are really amazing for the overall fitness, I agree. That's a great idea about using hand and ankle weights for practice. I've been considering to try that recently, so might have a go at it.
      And yes, I find that these kind of progress videos are good for inspiration, both for other people to see and get inspired, but also for myself to see how far I've come and to keep going. :)

    • @MatthewAshworth
      @MatthewAshworth  6 лет назад +277

      Thanks! I learnt it from various tutorial videos here on RUclips, and watching other electro swing and shuffle dancers. If you start with the basic moves and practice them every day (or regularly in general), starting from slow speed and then going faster once you become more comfortable, then you'll make progress faster than you can imagine.
      The moves I'd recommend to start with would be: V-step, T-step, Running Man, and Mr X. Once you get a hang of them, you'll be able to apply them as the bases of more complex moves and combinations. Charleston Step is also recommended to learn, though I'd advise to learn it after you get a hang of those other ones, since it's a bit more complex and tiring on the feet.

    What are the most important moves to practice at first? For example should I be prioritizing v step over my running man?

    • @MatthewAshworth
      @MatthewAshworth  6 лет назад +15

      Hi. I'd say V step and Running Man are both good starting moves. There's no reason to prioritise one over the other. They're both good beginner moves and both form a basis of many others to come later. T step is another good starting one. I generally tell people that V step, T step, and Running Man are the best moves to start with. Nail those 3 and you can have an easier time with the others. :)

      Hi. Thank you for the comment. Yeah, it won't be easy to find actual classes for electro swing. I never found them in my area either. So, regarding tutorial videos, there are several here on RUclips for different moves. I made some as well, so feel free to check them. You'll see the names of the moves in the tutorials I made too, so it will help you to get familiar with what all these moves are called.

    • @MatthewAshworth
      @MatthewAshworth  5 лет назад

      Yeah, that's often a problem. There needs to be sufficient space, and also for the floor to not be too irregular (which makes many of the outside areas unsuitable). Do you have some places close to home where you could get some privacy to practice? Like some corner of a park or a quiet place like that.

      Unfortunately no the only dancing space I have is 3x2 ft space and it's enough for the basic of electro swing.

      My friends saw me dancing to the Lone Digger song, and they wanted to dance with me but they didn't know how.
      So, aside from trying to learn how to dance. I'm teaching the electro swing. Which is kinda hard to do.
