Calling all who want to be a swing dance helper!
I have wanted to create some instructional country swing dancing videos for a while. For years I have done all the Pla-Mor photos, but I did a poll on my Instagram on this idea and the response spoke for itself. The result was an overwhelming yes, so I guess I am doing it! If you haven’t already, make sure to go follow me at @starkphotographyne.
Swing dancing is a two-person endeavor, I will need a helper or two. The helpers will either assist me in breaking down these moves, or get to learn some moves in the process. I plan to film on Sundays at the Pla-Mor Ballroom between 8:30p and 9:00p, or at a place like Pioneers Park on Saturdays. If you want to be a part of the video of the week, make sure to apply by Friday at 11:59pm Central time. This is so we can get the details set on where and what to teach for the week.
As for the style of video I aim to make, here’s the first episode I have filmed so far:
The filming should take no more than a half an hour, with the resulting video being around 5-10 minutes. I do this so we can get it done and have it be overly long to watch.
Rules
By applying to be a swing dance helper in of my dance instruction videos, you are agreeing to the following rules:
- All applicants must be 18 years old and over at the time of filming.
- While I will ensure your safety as much as possible, dancing does inherently come with risk with regards to injury. As part of your participation, you will hold Stark Photography, Michael Stark, and any/all associates/partners harmless in case of an accident and/or injury.
- You are comfortable being recorded on camera and have no problems with the resulting video being published to YouTube, Vimeo, and/or Floatplane.
- If you are uncomfortable with a certain dance move, please let me know before shooting. I’ll do my best to get you featured in a different video where I go over moves you are comfortable with.
- That you live in the Lincoln or Omaha areas, or are willing to travel to those areas.
- All filming will take place in public areas, such as venues like Pla-Mor or a park like Pioneers Park.
- That you have a willingness to learn, and to just have fun learning along with teaching others!
Also, if you aren’t selected one week feel free to keep applying until you are. I plan on making a lot of these, so there will be plenty of opportunities for you to participate. If you have any questions or concerns before applying, feel free to email me at michael.stark@starkindustriesne.com.
If you are comfortable agreeing to the rules above, feel free to apply below. I totally understand if you don’t though. You are still invited to check out and watch the Michael’s Swing Dance Lessons YouTube channel!
In any case, thank you for considering and have a wonderful day!
