Balboa was very popular among the College Kids and the sophisticated dancers in the mid 30s and is now extremely popular once again. Originally Balboa was a closed position swing form with intricate footwork predominantly based on 8-count patterns. But when the hot Swing music really hit the scene some of the younger dancers like Maxie Dorf and Lolly Wise added break-aways and swing turns to the Balboa, which nowadays is often referred to as Bal-Swing. Balboa can be danced to any speed of music, from slow songs at 120 beats/min. till very fast ones at 300 beats/min. Pure Balboa is probably the easiest way to dance to fast swing music, enjoy it, and look good.

This video doesn’t require any experience in Balboa. You will first learn the most typical steps and principles that form the character of Balboa. Every step is broken down and well explained to make you feel comfortable on the dance floor, and to have fun. Building on that foundation you will learn more footwork variations and patterns to get a deeper insight into Balboa. This instructional video contains 50 (!) different steps. Cool and fancy footwork will put you in the position to play more with the music and will make your Balboa very attractive.

Dean Collins Shim Sham

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Videoformat: NTSC (weltweit abspielbar)
Preis: 29 Euro
 

The Shim Sham originated as a tap dance choreographed by Leonard Reed (1907-2004, and Willie Bryant in 1928. Intended for a show finale that could be done by all the performers it was adopted by many dancers and became one of the most well-known and wide-spread routines of all times.

You may be familiar with the tap version or the non-tap version that Frankie Manning made popular teaching at many swing dance camps and workshops all over the world. The Dean Collins version of the Shim Sham is also a non-tap version based on the original Shim Sham with spiced up footwork and additional steps extending the routine. Dean Collins was the most influential Lindy Hop dancer on the West Coast and played an essential role in bringing the New York style of Swing dancing to the West Coast in 1938.

If you want to improve your dancing we highly recommend learning and practicing Dean's Shim Sham routine. The steps and transitions might be a bit tricky, but you won't improve by doing only the things that come easily! They will break everything down so that you can be part of the group the next time when Dean's Shim Sham is called.

Dean Collins died already in 1984, but this video includes interviews with some of the best dancers like Leonard Reed Bart Bartolo, Bobby Hefner, Freda Angela, Gil Bradey, Mary Collins, and Rusty Frank. Many of them learned the routine by Dean Collins himself.

What is Boogie Woogie?

Boogie Woogie is a swing style which has its roots in the European 6-count style of the 50’s Rock’n’Roll that reflects the exuberant feeling of the rockin' fifties with its petticoats, greasy hair, pony tails, and cool attitude. It is similar to the US East Coast Style, but is richer in unique steps and moves that have inspired many dancers and have been adopted in many other swing styles. oBogie Woogie is famous for its hot, smooth, and exciting footwork and the emphasis on interpretation of the music without fixed choreography. Today, Boogie Woogie is danced both socially and in competitions mainly to original hot music of the late 40s and 50s (e.g. Boogie Woogie, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Rock 'n' Roll, Rockabilly).

Boogie Woogie 2 is addressed to the intermediate Boogie Woogie dancers, who know their basics, but want to learn more. This instructional video offers a lot of material and technique to improve the dancing and to increase the dance vocabulary.

Every step is broken down and well explained. Marcus & Bärbl emphasize lead and follow for each step and demonstrate them to music of different speeds. Additionally most demonstrations can be watched from a different angle.

As a special bonus there is a Jam of top Boogie Woogie dancers and Champions recorded at many different places around the world.

Charleston 2

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Videoformat: NTSC (weltweit abspielbar)
Preis: 29 Euro

  
The Charleston originated in the city Charleston, South Carolina. It came to New York with the theater productions "Ziegfeld Follies" and "Running Wild" (1922/1923) and inspired the people thereby. The novel twisting of the feet and swinging of the arms to the impulsive rhythm of the music did the rest to excite the masses. As the music changed and began to "swing" in the late 20s, Charleston progressed into the Break-Away and then into the Lindy Hop (1928). Although Charleston steps continued as an essential part of the Lindy Hop. The traditional twisting of the feet faded as there was more focus on the kicks. Especially because of the partner dancing aspect of Lindy Hop many new variations appeared. Still to this days Charleston steps get a lot of attention when danced in the Lindy Hop.

Marcus & Bärbl continue in this video to teach you more fun and crazy Charleston steps for Lindy Hop. To benefit from these moves you should have a foundation in Lindy Hop and basic knowledge of Charleston steps in Lindy Hop. As a bonus you can see Marcus & Bärbl jamming with other great swing dancers and a trailer a of the famous Rock That Swing Festival in Munich run by Marcus & Bärbl

Hollywood Style is a recent name for a great original style of Lindy Hop that was danced in many Hollywood movies of the 40s and 50s. It was introduced by Dean Collins on the West Coast around 1938. Dean learned to Lindy Hop at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom and created a distinctive and attractive style, which blossomed when he started dancing with Jewel McGowan. Dean and Jewel along with many other dancers performed this smooth, stylish, and energetic version in many movies significantly influencing swing dancing back then and now. Hot swiveling girls and swing music created a recipe that's hard to resist.

The video doesn't require any prior swing dance experience. It starts from the beginning and continues into intermediate level. You will learn the typical steps that form the character of Hollywood Style. Marcus & Bärbl present a solid foundation and give you a feeling for the dance. They break down every step and emphasize lead and follow. With this video you can understand the basics of the dance and feel comfortable on the dance floor.

Balboa/Bal-Swing 1
(Level: Beginner/Intermediate)

VHS-Videoformat: PAL
Preis: 20 Euro

Alternative: DVD #3 - Balboa/Bal-Swing 1-3

Balboa was very popular among the College Kids in the mid 30’s and it is very popular again. Originally Balboa was a closed position swing form with intricate footwork predominantly based on 8-count patterns. But when the hot Swing music really hit the scene some of the younger dancers like Maxie Dorf and Lolly Wise added break-aways and swing turns to the Balboa, which nowadays is often referred to as Bal-Swing.

Balboa can be danced to any speed of music, from slow songs at 120 beats/min. till very fast ones at 300 beats/min. Pure Balboa is probably the easiest way to dance to fast swing music and enjoy it.

With Marcus & Bärbl and Steve & Denise you can learn from the best international renowned instructors. Steve & Denise won all major Balboa Championships in the US among them the National Balboa Championship 2001. They appeared in many movies and were headline instructors for one year at the famous Derby.

(Level: Beginner/Intermediate)

VHS-Videoformat: PAL
Preis: 20 Euro

Alternative: DVD #1 - Collegiate Shag 1&2

A simple Slow Slow Quick Quick is the secret of an exciting and cool looking 6-count swing dance from the 30s and 40s: The Shag.

Shag is easy to learn. With its hops and kicks it is a lot of fun. If you like to have close contact to your partner and still don’t want to miss the energy of swing than Shag is the dance for you. Mainly danced in closed position, but also with open and separating elements, Shag can be danced from medium to fast music.

Shag was spread all over America some years before Lindy Hop became popular and different styles were popular in different regions. This tape series is about the Double Time Shag that was danced a lot among the college students, which why it is often referred to as Collegiate Shag. It should not be confused with Carolina Shag or St. Louis Shag. Even it was a separate dance Shag can be easily mixed with other Swing styles.

Revived in the Los Angeles Swing scene Shag made a strong comeback since the early 90s and spread on the side of his dancing cousin the Balboa around the World. Shag is taught again at many international dance camps and workshops and has not lost its popularity.
