I loved this video, and it is great to see the youngsters keeping it alive. Regarding lifts....Unless you are really confident and completely natural, they are best left out. I am a good jiver, but not great at lifts and so don't do them. I remember telling a top dancer in England that I felt inadequate because of it. He said if you are a good enough dancer, then you don't need them! Thanks!
I think this is from the early-mid 90's. Note about 2:00 Robert Royston-choregrapher for Broadway and Film. At about 2:20 on right Benji and Heidi as kids.Let's refrain from the racial commentary. We should all dance together. This is a tribute to Harlem Lindy Hop.Many here helped launch the Swing Dance scene we enjoy today.
Does anyone know the names of the other young WCS dancers here?
