Tutorial Treasuries: Dance Just Like Me
In my search for useful tutorial videos around iTunes, I have come across this one by Doug Silton. Doug Silton is a Lindy Hopper, West Coast Swinger, Salsa dancer, Carolina Shagger, Balboa dancer, and Hip Hopper (man that must be a mouthful to say out loud) and had years of experience in teaching, performing and competing internationally. Needless to say, this guy knows his stuff.
Dance Just Like Me (DJLM) is a compilation of his video tutorials into one app. It's a free app, but the videos have to be purchased separately. Don't worry, there are some free videos for you to try out and see if his style of teaching works for you. My suggestion is that you also nail down the techniques he provides first before moving on to downloading more of his videos, let alone purchasing an entire album. The interface and process is pretty similar to purchasing music from iTunes so it's not that hard getting used to the app's carousel interface too.
My WCS1 classmates should be able to benefit from that Duck-Under Wrap free video on the 8-count variations since we're moving into 8-count stuff now. For my readers in general, you'll benefit from a shot of inspiration by watching him dance, along with the free videos that he explains how to do a certain technique. You can always bug your dance teachers to show you how to do some of his moves for better clarification too. *hint hint*
