At long last, we are done filming the new review DVDs for our series classes! Time to celebrate! It’s a project that we have been meaning to do for a long time and have finally had the extra time to do it. After four days, almost ten hours of footage, and a number of retakes, it’s a wrap. Now it’s on to the editing process.

We originally filmed the review DVD to our Lindy Hop class and our beginner lesson several years ago. Feedback on them has been overwhelmingly positive. However, as classes expanded, we had numerous requests for review DVDs on our other classes. The beginner lesson DVD didn’t closely match the new 6 Count Swing Dance Series and the Lindy Hop class material has evolved slightly over the last few years. So now with the new filming, we’ll soon have review DVDs for almost all of our series classes. The only exception will be intermediate and advanced classes. We rotate the material in those classes which makes recording a set review nearly impossible. However, we are looking to tape more impromptu videos for those.

Look for the new DVDs to be available in our upcoming 2008 classes. We hope to have the first ones available for our January classes by the second or third week of class. If you were in a past class that didn’t have a review DVD, keep an eye on the site to see when they are ready.

The last few days have been exhausting, but we’re excited to see the outcome of the work! Oh… and I would much rather be teaching in front of a class instead of a camera… it’s just not the same!!!
