Just put "youtube and the name of the song you want to lean into the search engine and watch the videos"

You can also type"dance lessons downloads" and find all kinds of free lessons on your computer.

You could also invite a friend to come teach you before the party.

my personal fave is crank dat by soulja boy. it has a nice beat and an awesome dance. u can look it up on youtube.

Some of the party dances like the one you are planning had came from several styles of swing dancing....from the Lindy Hop to the Jitterbug to Rock and Roll Dancing.

A lot of swing songs lilke "Jump, Jive and Wail" of Brian Setzer and "In The Mood" by the Benny Goodman Band will make you do some cool swing moves....and I can show you several of them......

Here are some of my favorite moves....

Boogie Back
I adore this move highly. Sort of a regular kick-ball-
change but each time you kick-ball-change, you go back
progressively.

Man: Kick LF, Land on LF behind RF, change weight
to LF in place
Lady:Kick RF, Land on RF behind LF, change weight
to RF in place

Often, it is done 4 times in sequence, counted
8 and 1 2 and 3 4 and 5 6 and 7
(Chris Martin, a dance teacher from New York, has
found out that Lindy Hop focuses on the
weak beat "8" more often than the other beats.)

Suzy-Q
Often seen in the swing line dance called "The
Jitterbug Stroll." It can also be done in the Lindy.

Suppose you want to start the Suzy-Q with your RF
free. I found out that there are two versions of
this.

The easier version:
RF crosses over LF as it turns 1/4 to L at the same
time, and then, as you move your RF out to side, the
RF swivels 1/4 to R and at the
same time, the LF slides out (or scoots) in second
position with
no heel dig. (QQ)

The harder version:
RF crosses over LF as it turns 1/4 to L at the same
time, and then, as you move your RF out to the side RF
swivels 1/4 to R and at the same
time, the LF slides out (or scoots) in second position
with a
heel-dig. (QQ)

Shorty George
These are forward progressive swivels on strongly
flexed knees, in a walking style almost similar to
jive walks. Usually it is done in semi-open hold.
You flex knees strongly to achieve the illusion that
you are short (hence, "shorty george") but the back
still needs to be straight.

Pecking
Frankie Manning (known to had invented over half of
the death-defying air steps in Lindy Hop) had
described this move as a face
dance move. [The good news is that pecking is just
an advanced trick, not an air step.] The faces of both
the leader and follower
face each other, and with a visual and hand lead,
they make their faces come toward--and away from
each other, in quick succession, usually three
times. (Imagine that you are trying to peck on a
tree.)
