I'd call this Lindy, although the style is not very typical. It looks like they're trying to imitate Dean Collins from the movies. See for...
There are many many swing styles and names. Some names are reused for several styles, especially rock'n'roll and jive are used for very different...
As a Lindy dancer I can dance to almost anything. I can adapt and dance to most rhythms (not only 4/4) or ny rhythm at all. The same should go for...
There are many ways to improvise and dance to the music. The two most basic are in my oppinion: - Fit the patterns to the music. The music varies...
I agree with Jenny. It may not look like the african roots, but good posture always looks good. And in any "street" dance, there are no strict rules....
