Why do you have to learn from Australian videos when there are many in this county that are available - even Franck has a link to buy videos on his posts (see below I cut and pasted this) :-

This is the original and possibly the best 'Learning Video' it was the Jive Bunny one but they have taken the bunny off now. It can be bought from many venues OR weekenders AND you will see (if you look closely) our very own David and Lily B dancing in the background

There are more that have been produced in the UK or the 'Video Driaries' from the dance weekenders are great for learning. It is great when you recognise someone on the video or even get a chance to dance with them most of the dance instructors never refuse a dance.

PS: Simon de Lisle (now teaching is Aus) is leading - and Roger Chin(another forumite) was one of the consultants)

For new dancers the jive bunny video is great.
If you have been dancing 5 months though, you would probably benifit from the Australian videos - same dance form, just that someone has bothered to spend the time to put moves down on video in a quality way.
