    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @nicoledevona5863

    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.

      @OneMate4Life Před rokem +4

      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.

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!
