Chapter Two - Demonstration Video - Click Here

This demonstration video shows many of the above figures of Lindy Hop 1. Unlike the videos above which are from 5 to 15 seconds, this movie is 44 seconds in length and takes proportionately longer to download (over a dial-up 56k modem connection about 13 minutes). With high speed connections, the video will begin to play in seconds.

Unlike the movies above which require Quicktime version 4 or above to play (released 2000), this video, which was made with later software, will require Quicktime 5.0.2 or above (released late 2001). Quicktime is a free download at www.apple.com/quicktime/download. The current version is Quicktime 6.0. Email any questions on Quicktime to us@DanceTutor.com.

For Quicktime Pro (paid version) users Only:All DanceTutor.com videos play equally well on the free version of Quicktime, but for those who have the pro version ($30), be aware -- because Apple Computer does not make it clear on the download page -- that any upgrade to a later pro version of Quicktime will require the purchase of an additional Pro key (still $30). Of course, the free version remains free for everyone. Also, although it is not intuitively the case, upgrading interferes with the use of the earlier Quicktime Pro version.
