THE MAGIC PILL PART I

Lindy Lovers,
For your July 4 holiday enjoyment I have decided to POST the Magic Pill
earlier than promised, so that those of you who know how, can get your
wallflower friends unglued and dancing Swing/Lindy within 15 minutes.

THE MAGIC PILL PART I
(The Magic Pill is a uniform, concise method of teaching the authentic Savoy
Lindy Hop that expedites the learning process in a simplified manner that
makes the rhythmic patterns UNFORGETTABLE when using the 'Lanza Six Count
Lindy' (LSCL) Guide Lines.)

Basic Lindy Steps are danced to Six Quarter Beats or Notes;
LSCL: ONE & TWO (2 quarter beats), THREE & FOUR (2 quarter beats), FIVE -
SIX (2 quarter beats)

'Lanza Six Count Lindy' (LSCL) Guide Lines.
LADY ON THE 1&2 ALWAYS travels or turns only on these 3 steps;
LADY ON THE 3&4 ALWAYS takes 3 steps in-place;
LADY ON THE 5-6 ALWAYS Rocks Back.

MAN ON THE 1&2 and 3&4 ALWAYS takes six steps in-place;
MAN ON THE 1&2 ALWAYS gives his leads.
MAN ON THE 5-6 ALWAYS Rocks in the direction of his leads;

PART II will give procedural method of using LSCL most effectively.

For Teachers Only,
The Magic Pill will be hard for some teachers to take, because it may suggests a competitive way of teaching. And it is an assumption that the new way is a criticism of the established way. But keep in mind that if my Magic Pill is capable of addicting new students to Swing within the first 15 minutes, you can be assured that the student will return. What a great interviewing tool for selling new students on an extensive dance course!
The Magic Pill Teaching Method has many other benefits to Professional Dance Teachers: It will, not only give a student a quick jump start, but there is in the method a consistency in the COUNTING that makes teaching much less complicated because the numbers are a rhythmic mechanical guide for any move or combination of moves that your imagination can conjure up.
A further consideration that will allay any qualms of competition or concerns of contradicting your own methods of teaching, is the simplicity and logic of this Magic Pill I offer with no strings attached. And if you don't see the benefit, just hit the delete button.
An additional value of this innovative teaching method is that it brings a much needed uniformity to teaching so that a student can move from one Venue Class on a Wednesday and feel comfortable in another Venue class on a Friday, instead of being subjected the confusion of different counting that is now being used.
The Magic Pill, will not turn out a finished dancer in 15 minutes, it will only bring students to the point of dancing several Swing steps with leads and follow in sync with the music. The Professional teacher will be needed to help student develop styling, teach them techniques, choreograph routines, introduce them to Shim Sham Steps, show them how to incorporate Charleston eight count jazz moves with the Swing; there is an infinite number of facets in dancing left for the PROFESSIONAL Dance Teacher to work on, once the new student is hooked with my Magic Pill that gets them started dancing within 15 minutes.
