As described by Danceflix, this material is best suited to those already familiar with 6-count Lindy - as well as a decent pre-existing grounding in the 8-count Swing Out.
Paolo and Lauren (Yay, Follows!) don’t spend a lot of time on teaching or reviewing these “basics” but the DVD is very good on the more advanced beginner moves* like the Slip-Slop, Scissors, and so forth.
The video quality is very good, the explanations generally clear, and it’s taught in a very easy-going and smooth manner. Unlike many such DVDs, you probably won’t find yourself nodding off as you watch this, but you will be rewinding to check what your eyes are telling you, “Oh, they really did do that, like that…”
Highly recommended to advanced beginner and intermediate dancers for the moves and the bit of style taught in the last half or so of the DVD.
*Kick-a-ways, Dips, Sling shot, Baskets, In-and-out Shuffle, Pretzel Twist, etc.
