This is equivalent of several short Master Classes for more advanced Lindy dancers who are looking to improve further. It’s very well produced with good lighting and sound. The material* is generally covered very quickly, but it’s easy to back up and see and hear things over again. These are, for the most part, skillful “moves” that look good but which are often difficult to apply during social dancing – lack of room, lack of experienced follows, etc. These are, however, good for a jam circle, a show, or, just to practice so that your general skill level rises as you try them out. Be prepared to work a lot on any moves that you see and like - and for your followers to be alternately impressed and entertained. Kevin mentions several other disks like this that are apparently more extensive. They are probably available at Danceflix too - and probably worth viewing next. Good luck!
*Adding and working rock steps, triple steps, kick ball changes, Suzy Qs, Spins, etc.
