Emily and I sometimes (but not frequently enough) record ourselves socially dancing to go back and review how we look. It’s weird going back and watching yourself because it’s very easy to pick everything apart once you actually have time to analyze what you did and not rely simply on instinct.
The video was taken at Sommer and Dorry’s a week or so ago. Song is I Diddle. While everyone I know says Ella Fitzgerald sings this song, I really think it might actually be Dinah Washington singing.
The song has a ton of breaks and while that makes it quite fun, it also complicates things. You don’t want to be caught dancing through the break!
Some cool moves at 42 seconds, 47-49 seconds and 2:30-2:34. Curious, what they are?
:42 is an outside turn and I just did a little jump.
:47 is that funky step step turn break thing I posted on youtube.
2:30 isn’t anything in particular. It’s an outside turn just like at :42 and then a sugar push to closed on the break.
