Learn the Big Apple Routine with Patrick & Natasha
Hello Natasha and Patrick. This whole playlist has been super useful for me. I have learned so much. I will be going up a swing dance event soon and was told that we will dance this at the party. I have a few questions about the etiquette around this dance. Since there is leader and followers, are we meant to join the dance with a partner already or do we just join the circle. How do we know if we are a leader or follower if we join the circle? Also, at a party is it someone’s job to start the bridge? Sorry for the strange questions but I’ve never danced this at a party and will be doing so soon and want to join in without being too awkward.
The Big Apple is a worldwide known solo jazz roots dance routine.
The version we present here is inspired mainly by the Whitey's Lindy Hoppers performance in the 1939 movie "Keep Punching".
Thank you so much for this video!!

@lucaszetacant believe it's already 10 years ago :o
@anhanh057많이 배워갑니다
@김기훈-i9xI think you're leaving an 8 of walking to the london bridge out. It should be 4 8's between grabbing partner's hand and beginning to clap in lines, not 3
@starogreVery 2010 attire I like it
@tamaraturner6081cries in basics This looks so hard. 😭😭😭
@KaybeIleThank You so much for the video! It's so helpfull.
@judiasverdesfritasThat's a lot of booze you have on the table there.
@RodHartzellFantastic video! So helpful! However I'm convinced I'm never going to learn the Big Apple :( It's such a loooong dance. When I first saw it, I kept waiting for the steps to start over and repeat and they never did. I just goes on an on. Such an awesome dance. Maybe when it's the 2030's I'll actually have learned it, lol
@zsuzsuspetalsThank you! Learning this in a class at Rustys, this will help me keep up!
@ljeffery6419This is fantastic. Now I can dance with everyone else at my sing dance club the next time they play this song! Thank you thank you thank you!
@91SentinelThis is excellent. Such a great study as well as performance. Not to mention the clarity of teaching demonstration. Thank you so much!

@ytnupThank you for the great sharing! But You omitted walk around 8 count during London Bridge. :)
@withsmiloThanks, this was super helpful.
@LerondareThe Big Apple was originated in South Carolina which happens to be my home state :)
@xxCaddi95xxMERCI for breaking this down! How cool.
@autistikaChallenge accepted !
@bellmonte5620Thank you for posting this and the series of videos that break down the moves. I'm learning The Big Apple now along with a dance routine for a performance and my head has been in such a jumble trying to learn both at the same time. This will be a life saver.
@geonite1What's the name of the song this is usually danced to?
You are so great! Thanks for your effort! :)
@withsmiloThank you so much for posting this u guys.
@CincinMarieThank you for putting this set of videos together! I used them to learn it myself so I could teach it to our intermediate performance group. It must have been a lot of work, but we really appreciate it!
@BrianPletcher1Je suis en train d'apprendre cette routine avec Annie Trudeau ! Merci pour le travail que vous faites. Ça m'aide grandement à reviser cette routine :)
@GatorshoesBopHey, this is not "really" a Youtube function. We added the thumbnails with our editing software and then added a clickable area on them with Youtube.
Patrick
This may be very simple, but does anyone know how this video has a preview of several other videos that you can click and watch? I've played around with Youtube's annotations and linked it to a video, but haven't gotten it to show a few seconds of the video I want and didn't know if Patrick and Natasha edited this some other way.
@ApplePie2luvThe counts were really helpful. Learned like the first 3rd yesterday.. wonder how many will try it tonight at social [swing] dancing. :P
@ExitSiigngreat!! thanks!! :D
now, the Tranky Doo would be awesome!! :D
We're learning this tomorrow night, just wanted to get a heads up as I'm terrible at choreo - thanks so much! You guys are so awesome with all the videos you put up. It's really appreciated!
@bandm81Now that's what I call a great video :) Thanks both of you.
