That is so awesome!! Exactly the kind of swing I love to watch.... and would love to learn.
Doug, how would you describe that style of dancing? Obviously has Lindy in it, but not as crazy as the traditional Savoy Lindy Hop. Although watching old Savoy style can be great, I personally find it sorta sloppy looking. If I lived in LA I would come and find you, but alas I don't :) Any suggestions as how to describe to a teacher what it is I want to learn?
That was great. How could you be disqualified for "lack of Lindy content"? Bummer! You have newer style stuff there, but "lack of Lindy content"? That's pushing it. Maybe you guys weren't "classic" enough....but if I want to see strictly classic stuff, I'd just go watch old clips.
That was awesome in a really intense way. I love 1:38! 2:04 is so awesome. And the crazy head things at 1:43, that's the best. Lindy content if I ever saw it.

I have no idea on judging criteria, but love the musicality, choreography and cheekiness!
