American Style – Bronze Swing Syllabus

Product Description

American Style: Bronze Swing Syllabus is an instructional video narrated by Esther Don. It covers the supplied Bronze beginning-to-intermediate Swing programme, starting with Swing Basic and Throwaway before progressing through underarm turns, Sweetheart and American Spin. The complete course list includes the Lindy Whip variations and ends with a description of dance components.

The programme’s individual entries make it a useful reference when reviewing familiar syllabus figures or identifying a specific item to revisit. Four Kicks, Peek-a-Boo, Back Pass and Hitch Kick are included, alongside right and left underarm turns. The three listed Lindy Whip Turn variations remain distinct: right underarm turn, left underarm turn and hand-change turn.

The original introduction explains that the figures were considered in relation to their popularity and sound dance technique, while allowing individual expression. Esther Don’s stated perspective connects social dancing with the skill and dexterity of competitive dancing. The programme therefore presents the Bronze material within both a social and a technical learning context.

Listed at approximately 60 minutes, this MP4 Video offers the narrated instructional programme. Esther Don’s supplied Fellow ISTD credentials are retained in the specifications. All original course entries and their order are preserved, including the final dance-component section.
