The Ultimate Guide to

Modern Jive

for Beginners / Improvers

 DVD

 

This disk is a comprehensive instruction on Modern Jive, starting with instruction on the very basics of footwork, handholds, moving together and understanding rhythm and then moving on to teach 27 different moves including 2 simple but spectacular dips and a host of floorcraft sequences. These moves, on their own, constitute a repertoire that will make you shine on the dance floor and they open up a world of possibilities as they launch into more complex intermediate and advanced level moves.

 

Each lesson includes:

 

· A demonstration danced to music

· Detailed instruction for men and women

· A count through of each move in isolation

· A rhythmic count through of the three moves in context

· A slow motion demo so you can watch closely and pick up finer details.

 

In each case, the men’s instruction is given by Brent and the lady’s instruction is given by Corina. It is slow and methodical, allowing you to comprehend and practice.
