Description
 
     Add some kick to your Lindy Hop! Ultimate Lindy Hop Volume 2 picks up right where Volume 1 left off. In this comprehensive three-hour video Daniel Newsome and Giselle Anguizola show you all the basics of the Lindy Charleston, as well as many of the most exciting moves and patterns in the style. Especially geared toward fast music, Charleston is the ideal style to get comfortable leading and following to up-tempo music. These lessons will dramatically increase your swing vocabulary with Charleston-based movements and fluid combinations and transitions from 6 count to 8 count, to Charleston, and back again. Each move is shown with clear a breakdown of the steps, tips for dancing as a pair, and demonstration to music at the historic Triple Door Theater in Seattle.

DVD includes: ** side by side Charleston ** tandem Charleston ** traveling Charleston ** 1920s (face to face) ** hand to hand ** crossover Charleston PLUS... original moves created by Dan and Giselle, and some that simply don't fit any specific classification!

     After taking in the basics, you will learn a series of routines and choreographies that will help you light up the floor! Not only have Dan and Giselle been teaching students worldwide for over a decade, each is known as a leading historian and innovator in the Lindy Hop community. They will show you the authentic steps as they were done originally in the 1930s and 40s, and add their own special twists. At Motion Lifestyle we believe the best dancer is the one having the most fun and aim to make our students the best dancers on the floor. There is no better way to learn the Lindy Hop!

Excellent dvd November 1, 2011
Reviewer: Matthew Dowson from Loddefjord, Hordaland Norway  
The dvd's I have seen on other sites seemed to be either somewhat outdated and/or somewhat expensive for the amount of instruction you receive, but the whole Lindy Hop series available here are excellent value for money. The instructors are very good, they break the moves down to the basics and include the important information that lies beneath the moves that is so important to making them not only work, but work well. The amount of information included is nothing short of immense. The instructor's are very sincere and genuinely interested and dedicated to teaching you the moves. The camerawork, staging, lighting and editing is excellent as well, making viewing very pleasant and enhancing the instruction. The other dvd's in the series are excellent as well, and provide fantastic value. Just for the record, I am a normal customer, have no affiliation with the site, it's owners or anyone else involved with these dvd's.

Simply The Best June 27, 2011
Reviewer: Donna Krammer from United States  
I agree with Fuller - This is a professionally produced DVD with outstanding instruction. Each dance step is clearly broken down and described in detail. I'm impressed with the exercises which promote proper body mechanics. There is a wealth of informtion in this DVD - I refer to it often. The Lindy Hop is a fun dance and this DVD just makes it all the more fun - presented more clearly than any other Lindy Hop DVD I've seen!

This is Lindy Hop! June 27, 2011
Reviewer: Robert J. Fuller from United States  
Beginning with the fundamentals and moving through Lindy Charleston and the more advanced steps of Volume 3 this is your best chance to learn on DVD this great, joyous, exhilarating art form what Norma Miller called the most profound dance to ever come out of America. Dan and Giselle are as accomplished teachers as they are dancers and they patiently and thoroughly not only break down the "moves" but ground you in lead and follow exercises to get the "feel" of Lindy: connection and momentum, contact and frame, compression and leverage, all the while imparting their knowledge and love for the history and the personalties of this rich tradition and generously sharing what they have learned over their years of dancing. Invoking Frankie Manning and Whitey's Lindy Hoppers as well as the likes of the Nicholas Brothers, Jewel McGowan and Dean Collins with their own innovations, you will find this series a wealth of inspiration for years to come. Bravo!
