He takes out his big 10 inch?
It's a record. Of the band that plays the blues. A record is a flat, round vinyl thing that was used to play music in the distant past.
Old school vinyl records had a ten inch diameter.

Boogie Woogie is a separate but connected dance style to Lindy that is more popular in europe. The exact distinctions can be blurry though.
Mosquitoesalsohaveasweettooth
The end was definitely more Lindy Hop, but overall too kicky for it to be just Lindy Hop though, isn’t it?
PopeMegaForce
Lindy Hop is just the basic movement. Plenty of tricks and embellishments don’t remove from that.

Let me argue with you, nope it isn't. They just know how to dance properly with good leading and following. Source: me, dance teacher.
Deoxyribonucleicacidwashedgenes
Think of it like improvised music where you might have a general sense of where you want it to go, & have some riffs/licks picked out...
dezign999
It’s a series of small patterns strung together “on the fly” to create amalgamations. The patterns are choreographed, their order is not. /1
/2 The leader “leads” the random patterns in an effort to sync and emphasize key moments in the music. This is what makes it “improv.”
ztux2tkn3y24
. Maybe not choreographed but they have danced with each other before.
MamboCat
I've taken many dance classes, but I'm no good. The leader, normally the guy, initiates each move, they both need to know the moves though.
JustDumbCommentsAndCorrections
Friend. (even though you're wrong)
PorneliusHubertII
Each part is a practiced move but the sequence is easily improvised.
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
Looks more like an instructor/invitational demo. Lots of call/response moves from a par that’s danced lots together
illegalcheez
It’s not. There are individual moves and cues you practice but when and what order you string them together in is up to you and the music.

This is east coast swing afaik.

Talented people can improvise on the spot and make it look like they knew what they were doing all along. Same with musicians.

Nope, it isn't. The tricks they do are chosen on the spot by the leader (the dude).

I don’t think you can pull off randomly spinning someone 360 degrees on your shoulder unless they know your going to
wormfood
They've both done each move before. But it's an improvised routine.
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
Yes you can, look at salsa and bachata. It's the same, the dude leads the way
Totallynottheguy
As a dancer there's small cues that you give that are hardly noticeable. They most likely Dance together a ton and know ea others body lang
LamarTrillington
Maybe YOU can't, but I do it all the time. People I run into on the subway are frequently surprised.
theuberkevlar
Improv, in this instance, doesn't mean you haven't practiced different movements. It means that they are picked randomly as they dance.
gwaur
Just like in martial arts, experienced dancers can tell that a specific move is on its way from subtle hints that nondancers can't see.
mordondro
Clearly both have to know the moves, but i do lindyhop and this dances are known to allow a lot of freestyle of each partner as long as...
... the basic moves are in line. You can see him do all the leading with his hand and the kinetic energy actually. Its beautiful.
There are def parts where he looks to be leading, and one where he follows but that spin..I dunno..
solsactual
That particular spin is typically banned at most social dances because you both need to know how to do it. And it's not like you can do
Just anything at any random time. I can get a follow to jump in the air at the exact same time without any sort of cue other than shifting
My weight. Like with normal ground spins you sort of indicate that a spin is coming then the follow adds flair to it.
atomright2718
I must, I'm so sorry - you're* going to.

Leithreas
How can this be true when they time her butt wiggle to the long note? If you know the song and plan for things in it, that's choreographed.
DaveSamsonite
Is there a butt wiggle in there somewhere? Where??
FlameOnGingerGirl
When you're dancing around the house to a song you know and think "oh, at the end of this line, Imma pause and kick", is that choreographed?
Both of them did it. This wasn't some impromptu decision in the moment. Which is fine! But why pretend it is?
Bc I would argue that you improvised that move moments before. You don't have a plan for the whole song, but you make in the moment plans.
thisiskissel
Especially the pause and in-synced clap by both dancers.
omgBBQwtf
Not really, you can lead into those fairly easy if you know your partner. Source: 10 years of social swing dancing
