I have to commend Matt on this tutorial. V step is a great movement to start with if you're a new dancer, and I personally have never seen a POV teaching video, and its clearly the ideal angle for learning. It may be tough to get a good shot with some moves, but perhaps a second camera so you can get the rear shots on split screen, or even a crane shot would be superior than the usual second person perspective wide shots. Im subscribing now, so keep up the good work Mr. Ashworth!

Hey Matthew. Thanks for your easy-to-follow tutorial. Just one question - what footwear (if any) do you recommend one should wear while trying to learn electro-swing?

I fear if i continue with naked feet, I will soon develop blisters.
