also, any advice!? Thanks!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well first off, swing dancing is a social dance, and it's great you are looking for online resources, but in the end the dance is meant to be danced with someone, not choreographed!. So I highly recommend you find some instruction in order to get the proper information about the dance!.Try searching you City/State on this website: http://www!.thelindyhop!.com You should try and find a "social swing" night!. At these events there will be a cost for going (anywhere from $3 to $10), and there will normally be a free lesson before the social dancing, so it's a great way to meet people, learn something, and you never need a partner!. That being said, there are some online resources that can help you!! If you're a beginner, you'll to want to start out by learning some East Coast Swing!. This is the easiest form of swing dancing to learn as a beginner!. It's a 6-count basic, and stays in that basic!. It's also a standard ballroom dance, and is very easy to find a teacher!. Here's how to dance it: http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=BuCqgF90H!.!.!. You'll want to learn some basic moves like Inside Turn, Outside Turn, Cuddle or Sweetheart, etc!. After you've mastered the basics of East Coast Swing, then you'll be able to move on to Lindy Hop!. It's an 8 count dance that can have different variations!. Here's how to dance it: http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=VVJu2q1cg!.!.!. In addition you should learn other swing type dances like Charleston, Balboa and Collegiate Shag!. There are a few free instructional videos on YouTube and Google Video you can search for, but I find the best online resource is: http://www!.idance!.net They have some free lessons, but most you have to pay for !. !. !. don't worry, it's only a $1 per video, so that's pretty cheap! (Try searching "idance" on youtube and googlevideo to see free lessons they've posted!.) You can also find out what's going on in the world of swing dancing, by visiting the National Swing Forum at: http://www!.yehoodi!.com If you want a little inspiration about swing dancing, check out this video (It's from a professional Lindy Hop competition): http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=myJj0mNNe!.!.!.
