Drills for Building your Internal Sense of Time - Lindy Hop and Swing Dance

Support my channel by going to   / lauraglaess   Instagram:   / lauraglaess   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! 00:00 - Thanks for Dancing with me! 00:31 - The Explanation 01:14 - Slow Practice 04:54 - Faster Practice 08:02 - Self Test BEGINNER PLAYLIST:    • For Beginner Dancers   MUSIC: by the Brooks Prumo Orchestra http://brooksprumoorchestra.bandcamp....
