An important part of being able to layer variations over a rhythm is the ability to know how long that rhythm is without having to count it. This is especially tricky if your rhythm doesn't exactly mimic the music, as in the case of the six count basic. This video has a few easy drills that can begin you on that journey, even if you're relatively new to Lindy Hop. It's never too early to start working on that internal metronome!

50% of the money made from this channel is donated to organizations that support African Diasporic art forms, because Lindy Hop is a Black dance, and preserving and cultivating Blackness is very important to its identity. My current charities are:
