Would love to hear about what it feels like to lead / be led into the different moves in social dance. I have a hard time making that connection with my partner (but I can lead Lindy pretty well!)
@@LauraGlaess So for Lindy (as a lead), the point of connection is generally my right hand, or parts of my right arm, and I'm connected with my partners shoulder or back (I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well). With Charleston, it just seems like you're so far away and the arms are moving so much to communicate. What does frame look like in Charleston? How to you lead into a move without the follow having to watch your feet?
@@Lamefoureyes yes, I think I know what you mean. In a lot of Lindy Hop movement, the follows connection is same side of the body: L arm to L leg, R arm to R leg. In a lot of Charleston -- and definitely in tandem -- it's a cross body connection: L arm to R leg, R arm to L leg - like walking. I think this connection relies a lot on the lead and follow's connection to themselves. You feel your arm moving and it says something to the opposite side of your body.
I made a video talking about my thoughts on frame that talks a bit about this same question. Might be helpful: ruclips.net/video/i-rXHXlSov4/видео.html
@@LauraGlaess Super insightful, thank you! I'm a bit of an uncoordinated person that has learned to hide it when dancing, so maybe I'm just naturally gifted with a hard time in tandem haha
@@satchelmouth1 Yes but first from Africa, lots of American dancing created from the streets and Harlem and other places are from Africa just embellished and done a little differently.😁🙏🏿💯

Tell me more about what you mean! What it feels like to social dance tandem specifically as opposed to Lindy Hop?

Hello❤
What are the brown shoes you are wearing? Thanks for your channel! Great!
I'm so sorry! I don't know, and at this point I have worn out the label so I can't read anything.
A dance that originated in Africa and spread to Harlem by African Americans there.😊
Oh really? I thought this dance was created in Harlem, NY, USA. 🙄😏

@@Sheherhis I don't think so. 🙄
