Drill for Fast Dancing - for Lindy Hop & Swing Dance

Support my channel by going to / lauraglaess
By far, the best way to learn how to fast dance is to fast dance - a lot. However, having personal athleticism and agility to bring to the partnership is also a must. If you can't physically move your own body fast, a partner will not make things any easier. In the absence of social dancing, events, and even partnership for many of us, this drill will help give you what you need to move quickly, so when fast dancing happens, you can focus on the partnership instead of on the breathlessness!

    This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’ve lost a lot of muscle and endurance over the pandemic and haven’t had anyone who is into fast styles who could help me with stuff like this. I’ll definitely take it slow, but your videos make it feel possible! Thank you for this wonderful resource!

    Not going to lie, I loved watching this and can't wait to do some of th drills myself! Plus the editing is really sharp. Such a clever idea to have two copies of yourself even if the editing of it is so much harder than just having a second person doing it with you (if that's even possible).

Not that I'd expect anything different or that you wouldn't be, but for me it really highlights and hammers home how consistent and precise you're being, which is pretty cool!

    It’s been a week since I went to an event, so I thought I would be A) recovered enough to do this and B) up to dancing fast because the band last weekend was HOT. Apparently I am neither of those things, I only made it to 230bpm 😅 Definitely incorporating this into my workout routine, thanks Laura!

    Man, I don't but I should. Just any stretching is helpful. Even more than that, a nice cool down: I'm a big fan of a nice walk through the neighborhood. The blood flow helps move the lactic acid out of your system.
