That is the exact rock ‘n roll step I did in the 50’s and 60’s. I was lucky that my parents gave me dance lessons including ballroom dancing which meant I was always on the dance floor but I married a man who was a terrible dancer, I tried to teach him but he had no rhythm at all, so I gave up with him, he just didn’t ever get it.

Don't let that stop you, you don't have to have your husband as a dance partner, he can do his thing and you can do yours :)

We used to go ballroom dancing every Saturday night. Guys crossed the dance floor, and ask the girl he had his eye on to dance. And invariably she would say yes. You held her right hand in your left, about shoulder high, and your right around her waist, and her left on your shoulder. Then you asked each other’s name. By the end of the dance, you both new ,if you fancied one another. When I hear dance music now, I’m up off my feet, arms akimbo, whether there’s anyone to dance with or not. I’m approaching 90 now, and it keeps you going. Perhaps not as fast as I used to. But the memories are still great.

@@michellecrowley3749 you seem to know all about makeup. What can you tell me about droopy eye bags, I’ve been using the wet tea 💼 bags treatment which helps.

At 50 years old, i have never learned how to dance. This looks like a good place to start.

I'm 47, and like you, I never learned. Going through a divorce, I figured why the hell not? I've always been drawn to the era and music, started lessons with a local group this week

I am here because my neighbors asked my wife and I over to swing. It looks like fun. I hope we get the moves right. Thanks

I also learnt to dance in the age of the Foxtrot, Waltz, Quickstep. Hear It now, your up and away, even without a partner. Remember Victor Sylvester. Y’all could be the same as my age.

I love the way you teach. You break it down so small but its not patronizing. I don't feel like I'm being made fun of for not knowing or being scared, just slowly being brought of my stiff shell. Especially with how much effort and movement you put into such tiny steps, it shows me how there's already room to do more even in steps so small. I can have something to work on, even if all I know are small bits. As someone who has desperately been wanting to learn to dance for years and I have to learn it all alone in my room, its appreciated more than you know.

Good for you!!! Watch yourself in a mirror, if possible. That way you don't create any bad dance habits. I hope you get a chance to actually get out and dance with a partner.

Explained in a very clear and simple manner. A good teacher!

4:43 "Ladies are always right..." That's an accurate statement right there.

A great way to socialize and shed your inhibitions,and fun way to exercise without the pain.

Oleg I've been watching your lessons for a long time now. As a teacher, I can tell that dancing is your passion. You are thorough & patient. All the qualities of an excellent teacher! Your sense of humour when dancing on your own in public always gives me a good giggle!

There's a lot of good stuff in this, but the swaying is a very Latin, sexy version, amd.your rock steps are enormous!

very simple, very easy, love the way you teach !!

I wanna put him in my pocket and take him dancing. Best teacher I've ever seen. "How to dance when you don't know anything." 😆Love his style of breaking it down.

Excellent teacher, such clear instructions for both ladies and men .great. Thanks.

I love the way you teach. You're brilliant.

You are an excellent tacher. Slowly, step by step, explaining, repeating...love your lessons. I've always danced very much as an adolescent and adult. Now I practice your steps alone in my living-room...Thank you!

Love this. My husband was a dance instructor in the late ‘50’s early ‘60’s, before I met him. He was classified as the best in our county. He danced on Dance Party in California. He came down with MS and could no longer dance and could not teach me, so sad. But he shared his fond memories with me and that was good.

I did ballroom dancing for 5 yrs back in the day... this is excellent.

Very good lesson by a very good teacher

I am an elementary music teacher that likes to teach swing dance occasionally to 5th/6th grade. You do an excellent job of really breaking this down! I am currently using this video to teach my students :)

Never seen such a magnificent detailed dancing teacher …salute 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️

What a wonderful teacher. You're a genius 🙏👌👋

Thank you so much Oleg and Christina. You made it look sooooo simple but I think I have learnt something at age 66! Mabuhay.

Simplest instructions I’ve seen👏👏👏

Love his dancing videos❗️🇺🇸🥰🎶💃

Thank you SO much! 61 yr old going to a Swing dance in 2 weeks...always have wanted to learn Swing dance!

Just as a heads up though: this is ballroom swing, which is different from what (most) think of when one says "swing dance" (the big band / jazz dance scenes in old movies.) Don't get me wrong, neither one is "bad" nor "wrong"... but they are different, and the body motion in ballroom swing (the pronounced hip and shoulder swaying for instance) is different from swing dancing which may make it awkward if one is dancing ballroom and the partner is not.

Amazing. Hope you enjoyed it?

You are excellent dance teacher.

I wish you could have been our teacher in ballroom dance classes! My husband thought he was a great dancer until we took ball room classes- I could never dance with him, he was so bad! I grew up dancing with my dad. I learned the box waltz by standing on his feet when I was 5! My parents did a lot of dancing not only ballroom, but also polkas, foxtrots,Norwegian Schottises, old Tyme-Scandinavian Waltzes, all the fun dances! Now I can’t dance anymore and I sure do miss it!

~Oleg...you move simply awesome.... makes me want to move just like this.....thank you sooooo-much for your tips....I find myself waltzing through the kitchen....

Very very good! I I love the way you dance and teach 👏 thanks

Excellent instruction. Would have loved to see you demonstrate with music. Btw your dance partner moves beautifully and is absolutely lovely. Thanks for sharing this video!

Nice I think I'll watch this about 8,000 times and maybe I'll get it. this is as simple as I so need.

You are the best!!! Mr.Astakhov!!!

You should dance with the music so that we will apply the dance to the steps. We learned the steps but we don't know how to apply when music is already there.

Very good dance teaching! Greetings from Uruguay.

Happy to watch beginners lesson with Oleg ❤

Thank you very much, Christina and Oleg. ❤🎉
