Experiment: Learning Swing Basics

How similar is it to what I already know from ballroom?
How similar is it to a Jive?
How long will I need to learn the first level?
Will I manage to remember the terminology?
Will I remember the dance once I get home?
Will I be able to fall into a flow? How long will it take?
What will be the experience / connection with a new dance parter?
Is Swing just as addictive as they say?

Task:

1. Find new dance style to try
2. Organise private classes with an instructor
3. Note down questions that arose before the class
4. Go to dance classes unprepared (didn’t look up steps, rhythm or what to wear)
5. Note down experience once the class is done

Experiment
What would happen if we broke down the structure / order of the dance?
How will that effect the flow?
How will our memory work?
Will we be more conscious of what we are doing?
Will I need to let my parter lead me more? More trust if less anticipation?

Task:

1. Select 6 steps from a Jive
2. List them in order using names / terminology and number them 1-6
3. Roll a die and note down the outcome
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times
5. Rewrite steps in new order using step names / terminology
6. Dance the re-constructed Jive
7. Describe experience (use questions from above)

Jive first 6 steps

1. Basic Turn
2. Follow the Leader
3. American Swing
4. Bump
5. The ‘1-2’
