I was wondering if I should invite this woman to a swing dance next month. She used to work at the bakery I go to a lot, and we chatted and connected so many times. On her last day, she said my coffee was on her. One day, I ran into her at the bar. We chatted, and I said something about her bravely coming out of her shell better than me (however I worded it) because of her singing karaoke during her first time here. Not long after, when she and her friends were singing again, she gestured me toward them and pointed to the lyrics on the screen. What's funny is I had told her I didn't like being in the spotlight during the said "out of shell" conversation. Not to criticize her action and encouragement! Just saying it's interesting and I'm wondering about her motive, perspective, and if it could've meant something. What do you guys think? We had always gotten along so well at the bakery. Should I ask her to be my date for the event next month, should I run into her? I don't have her number.
I'd say try to get her number and set something up! She seems interested and if you two have connected well in the past, chances are things could work out well for the future!
@@mikes2fastBut perhaps not. I'm starting to wonder if she has a boyfriend. I saw her a few nights ago at a different bar. I pretended I didn't see her in the dancing crowd, she noticed me (I think after I accidentally bumped into her), put her hand on my arm to get my attention, and said hi. It was a very brief talk, given the dancing and loudness. So of course, I did not ask for her number or to be my date at the swing dance next month. But it's not just that. She was with a group of friends, and one of them was a guy she talked with. He could have been her boyfriend. What would be the signs (aside from kissing, obviously). I'm curious about the connection (or contradiction) between the potential "she-likes-me" signs and the idea of her having a boyfriend. He's the main reason I didn't ask her anything. Did I blow my chance, or did I make the right decision?
@@johnrainsman6650 Sorry I'm just now seeing this! I'd say you should still get her number. That way you two can still get to know each other and even if she does have a boyfriend, this way you'll know for certain. Just think, maybe she's just dating around, getting to know people, and you could be the one she really wants. If you like her, make the move!
What a great video! I wish I could find Country Swing dance in other states as I'm not in Texas. Does anyone know of a good resource for finding Country Swing dancing in ones state?
East Coast Swing is counted triple step, triple step, rock step. Country Swing is closer to single time Jitterbug. QQSS for Twostep timing, 1234, for One Step timing, and QQS for the newest version!
@@DavidRayDance I've heard that before - maybe it's formally triple-step, triple-step, rock step,. At every social dance I've been to people get lazy and omit the triple step. Probably a de facto vs. de jure distinction.
I've been a professional dancer for over a decade, have teaching certificates, and I've even studied dance histories and cultures. This new thing called "country swing" is not real swing dance. It's actually cumbia, which is a latin club dance that originated in Colombia. What this guy in the video is teaching is country 2 step (which is a traveling dance) and he's teaching jitterbug (which is also known as single step swing). What this guy is teaching is correct swing. Swing dance comes from swing music, but also because there is a swinging action in the hips. "Country swing" is just sloppy cumbia steps and added tricks and lifts we see in ballet, cheerleading, and theatrical ballroom. If you're out dancing to country music, stick to east coast swing, jitterbug, 2 step, and the waltz. You will look and feel so much better, and your partner will too You're welcome
All you dang instructors run through all the steps all at once. No one learns that way. Teach in 4-8 count blocks and repeat them over and over and then add more steps. It’s called rote learning. Yes, it’s repetitive and some times boring, but that’s how you actually learn to memorize things.
Swing dance includes lindy hop, east coast swing, jitterbug, and west coast swing. "Country swing" is cumbia steps. Cumbia is a dance that originated in Colombia and is very similar to salsa and hustle, which are latin dances. Plenty of country songs have either a fast rock or swing rhythm to them. Stick with east coast swing and jitterbug and you'll be fine.

No man should be allowed to have that much cake.
Rock step - slow - slow is just East Coast swing... I've heard so many things referred to as country swing :P

Man probably never thumbed a bass
Yeah I’ll take a bourbon meat please. And that’s why I play the drums.
His wife/gf watching this 👁️👄👁️
That’s a one step
Close, but technically a Progressive Twostep. I teach it with 2 quicks and 2 slows. Thanks for the comment!
Yea cause that was slow enough to learn
I’m watching a boxing video

No such thing as two step country swing. Come on now, let’s be realists
The traveling part was Progressive Twostep and the stationary part was Country Swing. Thanks for the comment!
