Method
It's beautiful to train a dancer from the ground up using this curriculum. They will immediately adopt a style after getting through just the first few levels because the ladder encourages them to dance freely from head to toe in their own body. Lindy Ladder leaves room for the uniqueness of individual movement. Each dancer can use the Ladder, but maintain their own style and look. LL is not about learning a right or wrong method, but about a proven method to give dancers a huge jump start.

Columbia
Hi Shauna! I'm Andrés, a beginner lindy hopper from Medellín, Colombia. The lindy hop scene has just started here and it's getting bigger. We are all hooked here to your instructional videos in the Lindy Ladder. So much content with quality. Just wanted to thank you. It has helped us develop what will hopefully be a big scene here in the near future. Hope to see you dancing live someday. All the best! --Andrés
Germany
I just want to thank you for creating the lindy ladder and spreading all the moves with your excellent explanations. I live in a small city in Germany which only has a tiny lindy scene. There aren’t any teachers here, so I drive to festivals to take lessons. It’s hard to improve without teachers in the city, but your lessons help me to keep practicing this great dance. You really do an amazing job! I always look forward to the new videos. --Paolo Krischak
Spain
Hi Shauna. My name is Francesc and I'm from the island of Mallorca (Spain). I hated dancing before my girlfriend "forced" me to start a lindy hop course with her. It was the best decision for me because it increased my daily good mood, opened my mind and we met a lot of friends. Now we have created a lindy hop swing scene and we dance almost every week in this little island, but we cannot access quality lindy hop courses. That's the reason of writing: THANKS for this BRILLIANT page that you created that teaches high level moves that I could not learn any other way. I would pay for it: so if someday you delete it... NOOO!!! I'm going to afford hosting expenses. And of course, if someday you're bored and want to meet our precious mediterranean island, you're welcome to have crazy dances here. Kind regards and hugs. --Francesc Matas/Lindy Hop Mallorca
Turkey
I am lindy hop dancer from one of the most lovely city in Turkey. I am writing you from İzmir. We have small community here named "İzmir Lindy Hoppers" and we are trying to learn lindy hop dance and also trying to teach some other lindy hop lovers. We also found an association. we are about 50 persons. We follow your website regularly, and to tell the truth your website or method is most unlike the others. And we like so much you and your project. We can find all we need with their names, video links etc. Also we are thankful for you because you didn't forget the other important things such as social dance,popular routines, Frankie Mannings favorites, circle jam, etc. --Yasin Akay/Izmir Lindy Hoppers

Colorado
I wanted to take a minute to say thank you! I've been a member of the Denver Swing Dance community for well over a decade, and your contributions are invaluable to me! Several times over the years, I tried to learn the Tranky Doo, and every time declared it the winner. I accepted the fact that some Tranky Doo, and I Tranky Don't! I suffered a closed head trauma, that makes getting things into my short term memory very difficult. Recently I decided once and for all, to learn the Tranky Doo!!! Using your instructional video as my main teaching tool, I am well on my way to winning my Tranky Doo battle! That instructional video is the BEST! It's really important that you know how far reaching your efforts are. You've touched many dancers here locally, and across the globe. The selfless way you post your instructional videos making them available to the world, not only promotes and perpetuates our treasured vintage Swing Dance genre, but touches people in very personal ways too. I can't thank you enough for your efforts. As Jimmie Lunceford said way back in 1939, "T'aint What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)." Thank you!!! Swingingly Yours, --Rich DeVito
