"It's not hopes and dreams" 😂such great teaching with a lovely sense of humour too

Best dance intructors I have found. Others say beginners, but the video clearly is for at least intermediates. Great training videos. 👏

[@annakareninacamara6580]

oh nooo I was hoping to use them as starters, is there another one you recommend?

[@jef2247]

⁠@@annakareninacamara6580I think what the above commenter meant is that they have seen other videos that say “beginner” but are actually too hard for beginners. This series is perfect for beginners!

[@annakareninacamara6580]

@@jef2247 oooh thanks! I had read it as "this video" but you got a point! Yeah, I'm currently in the struggle with my bf but it's already paying out! It's awesome :D

Never seen anyone explaining anything so well, with such charismatic and joyful manner like you two. The fact that you speak to each other during the whole video without making any cuts or verbal mistakes while keep informing is simply exceptional. Very nice one. You guys have given me and my partner a huge desire to start learning swing dance.

I like how they are loosening up as they go. She's funny fun! thanks, quarantino swing!

[@janewilkins5932]

Wonderful teaching video! The two of you - your comments- and repetition and different angles. A great team for our learning. A departure from the rest!!!! Bravo

Me: does the 2:6 part completely alone, 'cuz I do not have anyone to dance*

But if you were toothpaste, you'd be minty fresh, with no baking soda grit!

[@ievalibeka8171]

This is brilliant :) :) :) Thank You so much for sharing these videos :) :) :)

[@dosomethingaboutitnow]

fantastic clear instruction!

[@tjol8736]

As a follow and as a leader sounds so sub dom to me 😂

[@rebeccarainey4097]

I love their sense of humour. Whats their relationship? Friends? Husband wife?

[@bobsmith-ud9xi]

Probably just dance partners

[@marygracecastolo2454]

shipper alert

[@brisapadilla3243]

Thanks!!!

[@claryscat]

It drives me crazy the way they count the beats. Until I figured out to count the steps like one counts musical notation... I couldn't do the steps, until I did! hahahah

[@jenrich111]

please explain; the way they counted helped me but I want your explanation also🙂⚘

Getting list on the skip like moves!! Need one more step. Lol

[@TheTrueReiniat]

2:28 years of online videogams have rendered me incapable of performing this simple move.

Thumbless Dancing. But I'm not an IPhone, I don't need your thumb to swipe me.🤣🤣🤣

[@a.kazakov]

So COOL! ^_^

[@zorrocats]

A lot of subtext here that is distracting from the point of the dance, which i hope is fun?

[@gondor532]

@brandovlogs sjw things

[@andreaives494]

All so good! Can you talk about how not all pairs have to be hetero? You're so close to saying it! Women can lead, etc!

[@Dankona7]

Oh, I love lindy and swing dance in general so much for this opportunity to dance with anyone you want to! Have seen so cool routines and partner dancing where man dances with man, or girl with a girl, it’s lovely! Although I’m used to dancing like a follower with men, it’s still nice to know you have a choice and everybody would be okay with that

[@sopranoarwen]

So much this!!
