Fishtails & Tabby the Cat - Vernacular Jazz Explained for Lindy Hop and Swing Dance

Support my channel by visiting   / lauraglaess  

Vernacular jazz / solo movement is a great way to bulk up your body awareness, rhythm, and individual expression - and fishtails & the tabby the cat are great examples! Just follow along! After you go through the video once, feel free to go back and break things down, but give yourself a few chances to see and do in real time. After all - that's what we have to do on the social dance floor all the time!
