i need to learn to dance. what videos can i use to learn how to swing, jazz,and salsa,(latin)?
For my graduation party, i wanna dance. i love danceing, and i wanna do swing, jazz, and salsa,i.e:maranga, bacchata, etc. what video can i watch b4 may 14th?
First off, jazz dancing is generally associated with swing (unless your thinking of modern jazz dancing which is more of a solo performance type performance dancing, not unlike ballet.)
Secondly, swing and salsa are social dances, and it’s cool you’re looking for resources online to learn from, but when it comes down to it, you are dancing with another person, not by yourself. Online resources might help you learn more, but they aren’t going to get you started. I recommend that you find your local lindy hop scene/instructor to get you started (where you can learn about lead and follow dancing).
For Swing, try searching you City/State on this website:
http://www.thelindyhop.com
You should try and find a “social swing” night. At these events there will be a cost for going (anywhere from $3 to $10). The benefit is that at these venues, there will normally be a swing dance lesson for about an hour, and then social dancing for the rest of the night, and you never need a partner!
That being said . . . there are online resources you can watch to increase your knowledge.
If you’re a beginner, you’re to want to start out by learning some East Coast Swing. This is the easiest to learn as a beginner. It’s a 6-count basic, and stays in that basic. It’s also a standard ballroom dance, and is very easy to find a teacher.
Here’s how to dance it:

You’ll want to learn some basic moves like Inside Turn, Outside Turn, Cuddle or Sweetheart, etc.
Now, unless you’re going into competitive ballroom, there’s really no reason to stick with learning ONLY east coast, you’ll want to move on to Lindy Hop.
Lindy Hop is the original swing dance that developed out of the Charleston in Harlem. It’s almost always danced to what’s considered “swing music” by most people’s standards (and is also called The Jitterbug). It’s an 8 count dance that can have different variations.
Here’s how to dance it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVJu2q1cgcg
In addition you should learn other swing type dances like Charleston, Balboa and Collegiate Shag.
There are a few free instructional videos on YouTube and Google Video you can search for, but I find the best online resource is:
http://www.idance.net
They have some free lessons, but most you have to pay for . . . don’t worry, it’s only a $1 per video, so that’s pretty cheap! (Try searching “idance” on youtube and googlevideo to see free lessons they’ve posted.)
If you want a little inspiration about swing dancing, check out this video (It’s from a professional Lindy Hop competition):
For Salsa:
For Merengue
For Bachata
I hope that helps!
