You know that saying "Tain't what you do, it's the way that you do it"? A lot of the way you do it is the body movement and mechanics you use to get it done! In this video, we'll use a simple solo jazz choreography as a platform to practice movement optimization for efficiency and style.

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:
Black Lindy Hopper's Fund: https://blacklindyhoppersfund.org/
