From his early success as a viral YouTube sensation 7 years ago, Sven Otten – also known as JustSomeMotion – has taken the Electro Swing and dance world by storm with his fancy footwork and upbeat movement style. He learned to dance by his own, watching YouTube tutorials. He filmed his own video at his room and uploaded it in YouTube. Now it has more than 52 million views.

After becoming viral, he did his first publicity campaign in Germany. Also his YouTube success encouraged him to participate in a talent show in Germany, arriving to the semifinals. He became popular in Germany, and now he is having a great success in Italy, where everybody knows him as “il ballerino de la TIM”, as he is the ambassador of the brand. He has just launched in Brazil, as ambassador of Telecom Brasil, also with a great welcoming and he is also shaking the US!

His unique neoswing dancing steps and fast feet-moves are being imitated all over the globe. That’s why he created his Dance-Academy in his YouTube channel, so everybody can learn his style!

Dance Tutorial #1 – Hop Walk

This is the first out of 10 tutorials, Sven Otten tried to sort them by their degree of difficulty. In this one you’ll learn the rather easy Hop Walk. Have a look at it and see who’s joining him. Enjoy!

For those who don’t know which the most important points in the summary at 3:38 are (‘Inara Couto’ translated them for you):

– aus einer Sprungbewegung = from a jumping motion
– Rücken gerade, Arme ruhig = Back straight, arms still
– Fersen hoch! = Heels high!
– Bodenkontakt behalten = keep contact with the ground
– gleichzeitiger Wechsel = simultaneous exchange

Dance Tutorial #2 – Water Doll & Pendulum

Dance Tutorial #3 – V Shifting

In his third tutorial Sven Otten shows you how the v shifting works. To give the arms something to do as well you’ll also learn the traffic navigator. He increased the level of difficulty but he’s confident you’ll handle it. Have fun!

The fourth tutorial is now online. The lovely Dounia Slimani is joining Sven Otten and together they’ll learn how to do the V-Travel Tip. She’s also on YouTube and her topics are beauty, fashion and lifestyle. Be sure to check her out as well HERE! She’s totally gorgeous and it was really fun for Sven Otten to dance with her. Enjoy and stay tuned!

Shuffle Dancing to Electro Swing is Fun

May 19, 2021August 18, 2021 Barbara Tucker

I spend a good part of my day looking for awesome dance videos. With this intention, recently I looked for some Swing dancing videos. Finally, after lots of searching, I hit paydirt with a video entitled, Electro Swing & Shuffle – Top 10 – The Best of the Most Motivated Dancers. Electro Swing music is featured along with some superfine shuffle dancing. I know you’re gonna love it.

Before we get to the video, the Urban Dictionary definition of Shuffle dancing is:

“A dance style originating in the 1980s characterized by the fast heel and toe twisting and stepping, running man variations, stomping with the beat, foot swiveling from side to side, and having feet that appear to be gliding on and off the ground.

Running man dance move – yes.
(This guy – no!)

Some Shuffling Basics

To begin with, your feet and arms do most of the work in this dance.
In addition to enjoying a fun dance, you can expect a very fast-paced and intense cardio workout.
As far as which type of music to use, you can dance to Techno, Electro Swing, or any music with a consistent and heavy beat.
Although it’s sometimes danced in socks or bare feet, to avoid injury it’s a good idea to wear shoes when shuffling.
Many shufflers gain some popularity by dancing in public, but mostly by posting their videos.

To be sure, after watching shuffle dancing videos, you’ll want to learn how to do it.

Your conversation might go something like this:

A: “Holy shit dude, what’s that guy doing?! It looks like he’s floating on air as he’s stomping to the music!”
B: “Yeah, he’s just shuffling”
A: “DAMN! I want to do that!

This video, Electro Swing & Shuffle – Top 10 – The Best of the Most Motivated Dancers, was produced by Vico Neo.

Music: “Public Enemy Pt 1” by Odd Chap

He’s also one of the dancers – the guy in the black suit and fedora. In fact, Vico’s got lots of videos on shuffling. With this in mind, if you fancy this one, I recommend you check him out.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough. So, let’s watch this video called, “Top 10 – Best Electro Swing Dancers That Are ‘Lost in the Rhythm“.

Want some tips on Shuffling?

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if you wanted to be able to rock the Shuffle moves from the videos. It’s probably gonna take some time to look like these dancers, but you can get started with this beginner’s shuffle video.

In the event that you’d like to know more about Electro Swing music, check out the Dance Safari post, “Electro Swing…Funky, Feel-Good Music”. Indeed, it is!

As I watch the dancers, I almost get the feeling that their bodies have been hijacked by the music. So much so that I can’t help thinking how delightful that would be!

Information

Swing (dance) - training, lessons for beginners and more

Swing. School invites everyone to learn how to dance swing - a group of improvisational social dances that are now actively reviving and gaining immense popularity around the world. Episodes with swing dancers can be seen in "La La Land", "Hipsters", "Chicago", "Swing Kids" and many other films dedicated to the era of 1920-1960s. Dance fragments, and sometimes even whole stories, can be found in the work of Bradbury, Sellinger, King and other classics.

Swing is danced at jazz, blues and rock and roll parties. It is because of the rhythmic pulsation characteristic of these musical genres that the dance got its name. At the same time, it continues to develop, and "swing dancers" dance to rhythm and blues, electro swing and other modern music.

The main advantages of any swing dance are improvisation and sociality. After a dozen lessons, you will be able to build each of your dances in a new way without memorizing specific patterns. And most importantly - you can dance anywhere in the world with any person. nine0003

Immediately a number of directions are included in the concept of "swing dance". Some of them have already received their recognition. For example, you may have heard about Charleston, Lindy Hop (double jazz) or Boogie Woogie (rock and roll). At the same time, dances such as blues, shag or balboa are still unknown to many. All these styles are related, emerged in the course of the historical and cultural development of society, and differ only in the features of body position, movement or pair interaction.

However, in regular schools they are taught separately. In our opinion, this narrows the horizons of students or provokes them to pay for and attend the lessons of several teachers, from whom they often hear the same thing. We do not agree with this approach and can proudly say that Swing.School is the first dance school in the world where all swing dances are gradually studied in each group. nine0003

Details

Lindy Hop

Lindy Hop is the most popular of the couples swing dances. He was born in New York in the 1920s and was especially popular a decade later: he was danced in huge halls, often to live bands-orchestras. After it was forgotten, but it began to be revived in the late 80s - and now the Lindy Hop is popular and danced all over the world.

It dances to both fast and slow jazz, which opens up space for variety and gives you the freedom to relax and release all your energy. Improvisation and freedom are exactly about him, which distinguishes him from ballroom dancing, for example. It is quite simple, which allows you to start dancing right after a few lessons. nine0003

Details

Boogie-woogie

What is "boogie"? Both music and dance. It can be graceful and slow, or dynamic and fast. It can also be danced to jazz, but rock and roll is much more popular here. Along with the Lindy Hop, it is one of the most popular pair dances; he appeared at its base and a little later, around the 40s.

As light as a Lindy, it has its own characteristics and depth. And there are a lot more spectacular tricks there: next to the boogie is acrobatic rock and roll - a whole separate sports world! nine0003

Details

Colligate Shag

There is some debate, but it is believed that the Colligate Shag is the oldest of the swing dances. There are also discussions about what exactly was called the step before, because although it was common throughout the United States, it was danced in different ways. Now one of its versions is popular, and the prefix Colligate (collegiate from English - university) was taken because of its popularity with students.

In terms of lead-follow, step is somewhat similar to lindy and boogie, but it differs in its dynamics and, most importantly, tempo. The shag is always danced to fast music, both jazz and boogie; at the same time, it retains its lightness and accessibility. nine0003

Details

Balboa

Balboa is another swing dance style. He dances to very, very fast music - sometimes even the shag dancer can't keep up with them! And he is also distinguished by a close position and a cloud of rotations. This couple requires a minimum of space: balboas danced in crowded halls, and everything in the dance was miniature and neat.

Inconspicuous from the outside, the Balboa is stunning on the inside; not every dance can boast such complex and interesting nuances of leading-following. nine0003

Details

Blues

You must have heard about blues music, but there is also such a dance - the slowest of all swing dances. It is often, but by no means always sad: the blues can be both cheerful and cheerful, but always soft. Viscous and smooth, he asks to move as if in honey.

Blues is danced a lot in close position, like balboa, but there are no spins like there. You can move a lot, but you can - a little; as in other swing dances, there is a lot of room for improvisation. nine0003

Details

Solo Jazz

You can dance to swing not only in pairs. Solo Jazz - the ability to dance alone, anytime, anywhere. It's not the same as modern jazz; although the whole body is also involved here, jazz solos have their own rhythms. There is an alphabet of movements here, but the dance is not limited to them, because jazz solo is an absolute improvisation from free steps.

Solo also helps to improve overall dance technique, gives you a better understanding of your body and music. In addition, its elements are used in paired swing dances, such as lindy hop and balboa. nine0003

Details

Double Charleston

The Charleston is the first thing that comes to mind when we talk about the dances of the Roaring 20s. They say it was named after the city of Charleston in South Carolina, although in fact there are two cities with this name in the USA.

In the 1920s and 1930s Charleston was especially popular, but its style gradually changed. Everywhere, only peppy dynamics and tempo were preserved: as a rule, it is danced to fast jazz. Often it is mixed with the Lindy Hop, with which it shares many points in the lead-follow and general principles of the dance. nine0003

Details

St. louis shag

St. louis shag is a paired swing dance, which is quite different from its "brother" in name, Colliggyite shag. It is named after the city of St. Louis in Missouri and is a direct "descendant" of the Charleston, from which it partially took the steps on which it is now danced.

Just like it was with Colligyite, in different places it was danced in different ways, and also to different music: at first it was jazz, then rock and roll was added. One thing is invariable - it is fast and fun. nine0003

Details

West Coast Swing

West Coast Swing is a couple dance that developed on the West Coast of the USA. Now it is also acquiring the name Modern Swing.
