Charleston Revue: video review of week 1

Here’s the video for the first week of Charleston Revue dance class in Montreal.

Return from ULHS

Bonjour à tous! Returning from ULHS is no easy feat, so Alain and I might not be able to post the review from last week before our class on Thursday.

Meanwhile you can console yourselves by watching the Showdown clips on YouTube!

A big thanks to Angga for helping me teach the class last week!

À jeudi,

Written breakdown of the Lindy Revue choreography

To help you remember the routine, in addition to the videos, here is my way of breaking it down. In brackets you’ll find the sum of the counts per line of choreography.

• face audience in closed position [intro]

• swing out (s.o.) from closed [8]
• s.o. [8]
• over-rotated s.o. [8]
• s.o. Kate with shoulder pop (break on 3) [8]

• hand-to-hand Charleston : big kick on 1, rock step on 3, eggbeater spin 5-8 (leaders travel!) [8]
• (guitar arm!) mini dip position [2]
• sidepass into closed [6]
• double tuck-turn toward mirror [8]
• cross-walks, turn into drag: rock step slow, slow, quick quick drag (finish on 1) [8+1]

Thanks to those of you who learned it so quickly last week and good luck to those who will be joining us this week!
