LEARN WITH LISA INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS

To help my students who want to practice outside of class, I make simple, easy-to-follow instructional videos of new dances and old favorites. The videos are filmed with my back to the camera, so the aspect is the same as it would be in class. I do one wall with verbal cues and one wall with counts, with any additional information about tags or restarts (when I remember, LOL). I do not use music because I think it's easier to learn steps that way, and I avoid any issues of copyright infringement. Here's a comment I received from a new student:

I did look up your videos and I love the way you simply show your feet and the steps. It makes it easy to watch it again and again until we are sure of the steps. Yours are the best teaching videos I have seen.

NOTE: because I make these videos for MY students, some videos MAY contain variations/adjustments we make in class. Always check the published step sheets on Copperknob or LineDancer for exact directions by the choreographer(s).

Recently I learned that ads are appearing on some of my videos (they don't show up when I view my own videos so I was unaware of it). I apologize for the inconvenience; I have no control over this, and I do not profit from the ads.

AB Series: These are dances that I deem appropriate for students just starting out who need to master basic steps. To fit MY guidelines, an absolute beginner dance is straight counts only, has one wall change (two if the pattern is repeated), even phrasing (NO tags or restarts), NO jazz boxes, NO vines, and no more than 32 counts unless there is significant repetition in the steps. NOTE: I teach the dances highlighted in blue in my Introductory class, but we may not do all of them in any given semester.)
