This is a collaboration I did with the lovely Jill Bearup. She does the narration and editing, and I provided the dance teaching. It appears on her channel, so I'm not charging for this. I interviewed her while she stayed with me. Expect a video of that soon.Jill is doing a project of going through the various 'accomplishments' that a Regency lady might be expected to have in order to win for herself a good husband. Drawing, singing, playing the piano, and of course dancing. Will she master the Lindy hop in twenty-eight hours? Watch to find out!
