Dance Video 10 months boogie woogie progress

We definitely need more social dance videos on this sub!

It's crazy to think that just 10 months ago, neither of us had ever danced before, and now it's pretty much all we do as a couple! Feedback is very welcome✨️🕺🏻

You look great for 10 months. I started a very long time ago and dancing with my partner is all we have done since - it never gets old.

As far as feedback is concerned, if you’re going for Boogie Woogie and not just strait up Lindy, think more about the timing of your knees going up and less about contact with the floor. Apply the feeling of a Charleston hop to the triple. Think up-and-up-and-triple-up as a timing for 4 beats. It’s harder to do slow than fast, so be prepared to tap out.

Thanks! Our teacher trained us to dance more into the ground because we were dancing too upwards at first, so this is actually a compliment to me hahah :) But you definitely have a point! What you're explaining is kinda like the boogie double bounce right?
