For all FOLLOWERS, this is a 5, whether you are much more than a beginner or not. Really, it’s rare to get this much information on nearly every move for the FOLLOWERS. Carla does a great job with that, and Kevin does a good job helping her with that. His part in showing and describing the lead is very good as well - a nice effort.

This DVD is not the best start for absolute beginners (try Rusty Frank’s 3 disk DVD series for that) but more experienced dancers will already know (roughly) how to dance many of these moves* and will be very interested in what Kevin has to say about leading, and Carla has to say about following - in the same pattern - in order to become even better Lindy dancers. It’s about “the moves” - and HOW to do them better.

As they get into the DVD, the video and sound improve, as does the detail in the teaching. Nothing difficult or complicated here, just some very good instruction that takes time to cover in detail.... And, they do take the time… Be prepared to study this one.
