Shoop Doop Yah-te-dah - Mike & Nina
It's about time I featured these two. This is a class recap by Mike Faltesek and Nina Gilkenson from the Seoul Lindy Exchange 2010.
What I like most: Slapping the knee AND THEN turning and slapping the other knee!
I also really like: Reversing the Susie-Q's and going the other way around.
What I don't really care for: The swivel walk at the beginning. It feels a little too effeminate for the male. Maybe there's a way to do a different kind of walk instead? Boogie forward?
Also, did you notice something similar to a video I posted recently? I wonder if this is where the first video couple got it from.
Let's play with our social dancing more - I like the spirit of this.
And then there's this:
Shoop doop ya-te-dah...
You got that? Awesome and fun stuff. Who wants to practice these with me?

Agreed with your comments. I like the suzy q and knee slapping goodness. the first portion I didnt feel like they were doing it lead and follow at all. not that it couldnt be just that it wasn't at all. also, yes on the swivelies looking a bit fem.
The swivels are a classic Frankie move - they're like a mini dip, if you know it, you go along whether the lead is actually lead or not.
