Peewee The Peoples Champ is the best instructor. He makes sure you understand the basics of swing and if you are not comfortable he will not move on until he knows you got it. And he doesnt' mind dancing with people whoare just starting out. Do you find this valuable?

I have to say Ernie "Bernard" Brown is one of the best instructors out there. He takes time with his students. He has patience with all students, even the ones that have two left feet. He not only ensures they learn the basics along with some combination moves, he also goes out of his way to ensure his students have a good time at the dance events. It doesn't matter if the student is a beginner, intermediate, or advanced if they show up at a dance event, he makes sure they meet people as well as have several dances on the dance floor. Do you find this valuable?

Ok I really beleive that Big Smooth is the best instructor. These are a few reasons why:

He is relatable. he can relate to all his class weather young or old. He knows how to inspire you. Not just to dance but to be your own dancer. To not be another copy cat but an original. He has had the largest fallowing that I have seen in the swingout community no matter where he goes. He is an all around great instructor. His method is easy to learn and helpful for partner dancing. He will also come to your aid if needed in private sessions! Overall he is a great person who loves this dance and it shows in every way in his teaching, social dnace style, and attitude!

Thats just why I think he is one of the best instructors! Do you find this valuable?

Maybe I should be an instructor naw just kidding .. I think i may choose Big Smooth also do to the fact we all an learn from him & I go to his class to make every one laugh, yea I know im silly. Its really cool to me to see all the teachers out there trying to make it happen so let me add this poem to the equation.. Can we all see that life is more than what we think or what we may feel. I see in you what i see in all of us an heart. Wether your heart be on its way up or down I see. Do you stop & try to understand the next person? I mean really understand the next person going out your way knowing they don't care. I see in you like god see in me but how? Is it that I feed my soul with fruits of love ,joy , pain , suffering , kindness, goodness, and.... Faith... I see something in you all the time ..do U? I wish that just for a moment, you could see yourself the way that others see you. If you could, you'd know that you're a beautiful person, loving, warm, intelligent, and capable. Instead of comparing yourself to others, I wish that you could see yourself according to your own heart and soul, and be happy about who you are and take pride
in the many wonderful things you can do and not be so hard on yourself. If you could look in the mirror and see yourself
for the first time, you would see an extraordinary person with unique talents and abilities staring back at you. We all have the power to see in others as we try and see within ourselves..Thank you .. Yall like that one? any comments? I'm crunk its on babe time to dance ,,...yea babe yea Do you find this valuable?
