Swing Addicts,
The Magic Pill is a Teaching Method that will guide you through several Basic Lindy Steps, and will enable you to go dancing with a variety of partners well within a 20 minute period, IF you follow instructions faithfully. It will be helpful if you practice the 'LANZA SIX COUNT LINDY', Teaching Method with a partner. If none is available, hang onto the back support of a chair for a partner.
The Magic Pill will arrive July 4th, but please prepare yourselves in the two specifications below:
1) You should be able to identify the Down and Up Beats in Swing Music. Have a friend help you if need be.
2) I will assume you are or have heard the rhythmic count, 'TRIPLE , TRIPLE, ROCK STEP'.
There are only Two Rules involved in this method that you will have to follow faithfully for the Magic Pill to take
affect.

To Skeptics,
Simplified Swing is a Teaching Method which I am offering to whomever is interested with NO STRINGS attached! Why should I share a priceless secret to the general public. What's in it for me?
In the past few days 'YES' votes have been trickling in, but I notice not one vote is from a Southern California Instructor! And a few voters have expressed that they thought the Magic Pill is a 'HYP' like so many offerings on the internet. So let me give you an 'Overview' of what the 'LANZA SIX COUNT LINDY' (a teaching method) will accomplish
Last Friday June 13, I was at Hilary Alexander's closing, final Venue at Suzy Q. As usual;l I searched for a Wallflower to employ my Magic Pill method on. This night I found two young ladies sitting in a corner stuck to the wall. A few steps with one on the dance floor convinced me the lady was willing but had no idea what Swing was about.We returned to her friend and I escorted both to an empty area away from the crowd. Within six minutes I had them dancing on syncopated rhythm and following the lead on several basic steps and then l left them practicing holding onto the back of a chair. Within minutes they were asked to dancer and spent the rest of the evening dancing with a variety of men. When I bid them good evening, both Chee and Jamie were almost in tears with gratitude. And that made my day! What's in it for me?
I was a wall flower until I was 27 years old. My High School dances were very lonely for me and after a few dozen rejections, I never returned to that humiliating situation where no lady would dance with me because I was a club-foot exemplar. Ten years later when I became a dance teacher, it has become my personal commitment to help other wallflowers to share in the ecstatic experience of social dancing. What's in it for me?
Now allow me to explain the Overview of the Magic Pill. There is one factor of the Magic Pill method, that some dancers will have difficulty with if they are West Coast Swingers; The Lanza Six Count Lindy' is strict, authentic Savoy style Lindy. A complete beginner will learn to apply this dance literally within minutes, but the student with previous Swing experience will take much longer depending on how strong his WCS dance habits have become. When I changed from West Coast Swing, after four years of teaching it at my Hollywood Dance Club, to the authentic Lindy Hop, it took me about a year to reach an accomplished level in Savoy Lindy. And I had an authority on the Lindy Hop teaching me, Dean Collins. In the past three years, I have taught countless dozens of patrons at the vasrious Swing Venues using the Magic Pill teaching method. Occasionally, a dancer would feign being a beginner and the results were frustrating for me only to discover after I quit trying, that they were already taking private lessons in West Coast Swing.
In addition to the concise integral structure to the Magic Pill method, I will include some of the crucial techniques and also the most effective way to teach the Lanza Six Count Lindy, (a teaching method).
Your 'YES' vote places you automatically on my special list of Recipients for the Magic Pill, the complete ball of wax, gratis! NO VOTE, no Magic Pill!
