My recent note from “Imperial Swing Dancing” author Skip Culver sparked my curiosity… how many dancers out there might like to learn this fun, improvisational style unique dance form?
Skip tells me that unlike other swing styles that emphasize disciplined body movements, Imperial Swing tends to emphasize moves because it began as an unpolished street dance.
What does that mean? With “Imperial,” you’re learning universal dance moves that you may use with all of the other dance styles – talk about putting versatility into your dancing!
Skip talks about Imperial Swing as a fun, dancer’s delight, with all of its wraps, whips, dips, turns, and new and different partner moves. If one dancer shows off his new "tunnel entry" to another dancer, for example, then that other dancer may dazzle his friend with a "double tunnel" entry.
Are you a “Closet Imperialist?” Do spontaneous moves with names like “Crazy Arms” sound like your idea fun on the dance floor? Would you like your Dance Muse to share more info with you about Imperial Swing? Skip’s got lots more to tell!
