Synopsis

Imperial Swing Dancing is an all-inclusive audiovisual course in St. Louis' own style of East Coast Swing which is danced in a slot and infused with a touch of West Coast Swing styling. The illustrated, 454-page manual is written by Skip Culver The text is a valuable resource because it teaches the Basic through Advanced level dance moves that are presented in the classes and workshops of the swing dance clubs in the St. Louis area. This comprehensive manual covers all the variables of swing dancing: lead, footwork, movement, patterns and styling; and it enables you to learn them at your own pace for the same price as a one-hour private lesson! The manual is just as applicable to new dancers as to those who are experienced. The first 200 pages of the text describe the different moves taught in the Basic I, Basic II and Basic III classes sponsored by the clubs affiliated with the Midwest Swing Dance Federation and the remaining pages describe the moves and styling taught in their Intermediate and Advanced classes. This book comes with a two-hour instructional DVD taught by Matt Auclair. The manual is not a general ‘all about swing’ survey course; instead, it accurately covers in detail both the handwork and footwork of over 900 versatile, slotted Imperial Swing moves and patterns that you may easily adapt to related dance styles like East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, the Shag, Bop and Country/Western. Regardless of your favorite style of dance, this all-inclusive manual with its accompanying instructional DVD, is an essential reference text because it contains the most complete collection of swing moves available anywhere!
