Great Swing Moves of the World That Never Quite Caught On.
Recorded at the Herrang Dance Camp in 2004. Nikolas “Lloyd” Lloyd and Mindi “Mindi” Lundqvist demonstrate some dance moves that sank, perhaps undeservedly, into obscurity in the swing era. Camerawork, choice of music, and editing of the main sequence by Jan “Fish” Forsell. Yes, I did get his permission to put this clip on YouTube. Moves: twizzle jig, ankle-shaker, ape walk, golf swing, bunny hop, proposal.
LOLL
It’s a lot funnier if you are a swing dancer, perhaps.
The Golf Swing…
LMAO
this is just fuckin’ awesome, don’t let someone tell you any different!
Too bad about the golf swing….
the proposal?! lol!!
No, the bunny hop caught on… although it seems to be limited to white Protestant American wedding receptions.
Never having attended such an event, I shall take you at your word.
Bwah ha ha ha! I love this!!
Although, I’m pretty sure Juan and I have pulled some of those moves in competitions… Wait, what are you saying??
Haha, me and my partner shall certainly integrate some of these neglected gems in our routines.
i need to figure out what a move is called. the girl ducks down they guy swings his leg over her head and then pulls her up from behind/underneath him and turns her out
holy crap…this is awesome. I think I’m going to incorporate the “Golf Swing” from time to time. I think there need to be more videos like this. Could be very interesting. Plus I think it would be funny to do the bows and endings during jam circles. Great for a laugh.
Holy Crap, this is funny as hell. I think each city needs to come up videos just like this. I think for the next jam circle I’m going to incorporate the “Golf Swing”…and I think I’m going to start with the bow, end with the finish move and walk off just like they did in the video.
This is deeply sinister humour. I love it.
Ha.
My dance partner and I came up with the “Superman” which involved her diving at me and me catching and swinging her in a circle. Well, she told me she had always wanted to fly, and I was in love….
Sometimes she misread my lead though. Anyway, I’m married to someone else now.
Very funny, make more !
great! i love it!
What the hell.
Very Pythonish. Reminds me of the Funny Walks film.
The “golf swing” and “the proposal” are highlights.
Funny stuff!
Well done lindy another excellent video…. actually didnt notice it was your video, but alas it did make me laugh
@0crosso0 Why do you mean “alas”?
@lindybeige not quite sure… i think i meant even though i didnt know it was your video it made me laugh… as if to say i normally laugh at your videos but even though it wasnt i still laughed…… hmm the end of my commendant has been deemed unneccasary!
haha… cracked me up hard!!!! thanks folks!!!
We used to the doggie-ear scratch, I scratch behind his ear, he shakes his leg uncontrollably like a dog and then we jump right back in….just like this video.
