ULHS 2006 - Couples Performance - Dax Hock & Takumi Itoh

[donalclarke]

I was convinced that Dax and Alice had performed this routine which is why it took me almost half an hour to find, but the effort was well worth it!

The hand slapping in charleston at the one minute mark is such a cool touch, love it!

[barlin07]

OH HECK YES DREAMS DO COME TRUE!! SO STOKED TO SEE DAX AND SARAH ON LIVE TO DANCE!! Come on Lindy community, let's give them our support!! Check them out wednesdays on CBS at 8/7c. W00t!!

[eldivosalsero]

the name of the song?

[dredandmrbears]

WOW!!!

[barlin07]

this is kind of lame, but whenever I watch So You Think You Can Dance I can't help but think Dax should choreograph the next Lindy routine

[swingdevotee]

@barlin07 , not so lame--I agree.

[barlin07]

@swingdevotee haha, thanks I appreciate it.

[eakwafo]

wooow anyone know what this song called xx

[swingdevotee]

This is perhaps the most entertaining of all the swing videos I've seen on YouTube. I really enjoy Dax Hock's choreography.

More, more!!!!

[joninho22]

you gotta love the dancing, but Dax could have picked a better outfit....

[Ushaia24papaye]

This is the best Lindy Hop vid I'v seen in my life!!!:O Did it took place in a school or in a camp or somewhere where you can learn to dance it or just like a contest for everyone in the world...and if it's the last case...where did it took place and can some random people (like me) come and see the performances..?!?!:D:P

[barlin07]

ULHS is one of the biggest swing dancing events that attracts swing dancers from across the country, and even a few international swing dancers. It normally takes place in Minnesota, but 2009 will be held in New Orleans. It's a weekend long event in October that has many types of competitions with social dances in between events. you should look it up online.

She's Korean, not Japanese, but nice try.

[daxorion]

SHE'S JAPANESE, BUT NICER TRY ;)

[seiflotfy]

the song is called

"I found a new baby"

[Phishouttawatta]

i looked up the song title that you put and it sounds nothing like it

are you sure??

[funstuff2006]

@Phishouttawatta

It's "I've found a new baby." No ifs, ands, or buts. The trick with swing music is that every band recorded just about every song. Quite often one band would record the same song more than one way. From googling and youtubing, the closest I can find to the one in this video is " I've Found A New Baby - Benny Goodman and his Orchestra, 1936 "

[Phishouttawatta]

@funstuff2006 thanks a lot :)

[lindybeige]

You was robbed!

It's the fastest, the slickest, and bang on the music. Perhaps the judges thought you spent too much time apart and not in contact.

Top stuff!

[RideAJetski]

What is this song? I gotta have it!
