[Tohrnoriac]

[mnbv4184]

Who is the couple with the girl in the shiny blue top and flower in her hair and the guy with the grayish sports coat? Talk about unique style. They do a lot of things I have not seen before

[1971SuperLead]

@mnbv4184 That's Max Pitruzzella & Annie Trudeau. They are my favorite couple. 

[pesanze]

@1971SuperLead those guys are awesome... they just fly

[jackdiamondredux]

This is great fun to watch and everyone is fantastic but Max & Annie are really something special (as always!).

[Moopse101]

awsooommeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[iAasmm]

[swingstyle99]

I did a double take on minute 6!

[lacolo]

I can't help but smile watching this, it looks like so much fun :D

[jessting]

I love the couple with the really really tall guy...HE'S GOT SO MUCH FLAVA~!!!!!!^_^

[claudio52]

@jessting Todd Yannacone? Kevin St Laurent?

[kyliblaze]

Damn!

[hRs1337]

hahahaha LOVE the first part where max and annie tries to mimic the shilouettes of the ILHC-logo on the floor :D

it cracked me up ^^

[roywlogan]

Oh how I wish I could download all those moves into my head.

[melvisbrevel]

amazing!! would have loved to be sitting on the floor for this! One of the best finals i've seen on here for a while! energy energy! I want to go dance right now! haha

[Cropduster777]

lol, white people

[RicktheTapDancer]

So classy!!! You are all beautiful!!!

[swinginginair]

The dancing rocked! But, out of all the songs, why that one? It would have been great for a balboa battle, but I didn't feel that it was in-your-face enough for a lindy hop battle...

[stso0]

This is eff'ing awesome!

[karenturman]

This was the best thing I've ever seen. Love Todd and Jo, Skye and Naomi and Kevin and Carla--all dancing together again. So inspiring.

[rhombus0ne]

I have no words for how amazing this is. Beautiful, awesome, incredible! What an inspiration for young dancers like me... YOU GUYS KILLED IT! :) Todd+Jo and Max+Annie stole my heart, but everyone was smashing. (and thanks a million for uploading, so fast too.)

ps. Todd should get some oxford baggies... he's made for 'em!

[jalmon007]

Frida had a prior family commitment this weekend. Don't worry, we already have her committed to ILHC 2011.

[sbbbjm]

i love that naomi and skye were the only ones really social dancing and they still held their own if not better than some of the other couples that had little patterns.

[CarlaHeiney]

@sbbbjm hardly the only ones social dancing // many were and that says a lot!

Also, ummm, last I checked, jazz routines are not social dancing, just saying. That being said, everyone was awesome out there too : )

[Kujakuseki01]

Miker and Nikki really brought it. Awesome stuff.

[followerdvidb]

6:16 was AWESOME!

[perrybre]

Could Todd and Jo have killed it any more?!

[joum2441]

@perrybre the short answer is no, I think that's about as good as it gets, completely awesome

[SVTKooks]

@perrybre Could you point out at what time Todd and Jo were, I am un familiar with all of their names

[JacobLA]

@SVTKooks Their first time out is around 3:23

[ArJa2803]

Hi - that was one of the most impressive Gigs I`ve seen by Max Pitruzella - Respect!

Nevertheless, I`m still interested to know why Frida Segerdahl was not there. Has she finished her career? Does anybody know more ?

[adahe739]

@ArJa2803 Don't know why she didn't come to ILHC this year, but saw her at Herräng and she is still dancing and teaching. Not injured or pregnant. As brilliant and funny as always.

[DrPracticleHat]

exactly what genre of music is this?

[ColoradoSwingnut]

@DrPracticleHat It's Swing baby! :) (genre of jazz music made famous in the US during the 1920's-1940's --> see Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Roy Eldridge, Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Artie Shaw, etc. etc. etc.)

[DrPracticleHat]

@ColoradoSwingnut ah, I knew it was jazzish, but I didn't know what it's actual name, cheers.

[ColoradoSwingnut]

Max and Annie killed everyone... unbelievable creativity that just blows me away every time I see them. Kudos... they just leave me wanting for more words... just wow!

[jasonplancaster]

Witnessing this in person was amazing. Everyone was so perfect and had their own style. For those that asked about the results:

1. Max and Annie

2. Nick and Laura

3. Kevin and Carla

[nrolinger]

@jasonplancaster What a bummer, Todd and Jo looked solid on each spotlight.

[MarkCalkins1]

@nrolinger

Right on! I enjoyed watching them dance together again. They looked really sharp.

[Pam0284]

Oh. Emm. Gee. !

[barlin07]

they're so disgustingly talented. so epic. Can you imagine how crazy it'd be to see this in person?? The energy in the room must have been off the charts! thanks for sharing!!

[AgnesHjelm]

Who won? Who else placed?

[Kujakuseki01]

7:40.  Best part.

[itsthewoo]

Hooooooooooooooooly crap.

[quillian42]

Color me inspired! Thank you all for the amazing performance!

[ArJa2803]

Hey- Whats about Frida Segerdahl ?? Miss her, because I think she is one of the

best social dancers in the world . I thought I` ve seen her partner Sky Humphries.

Why does he dance without Frida ? Is she ill, injured, pregnant or vwhat ?

[ColoradoSwingnut]

@ArJa2803 That's not Skye - that's Dan Newsome

[dukekiduke]

@ColoradoSwingnut

Man, that's Skye Humphries for sure. ;)

[ColoradoSwingnut]

@dukekiduke poor Dan, when will this ever end for him.... ;)

[Kujakuseki01]

@ColoradoSwingnut ...? Oh, you're serious. No, it is in fact Skye Homefries and not Daniel Newsome.

[ColoradoSwingnut]

@Kujakuseki01 crap you're right. Damn those two guys - they're like dopplegangers. I've known Dan for a number of years now and I make that same mistake that everyone else does :P. <--- embarrassed.

[krishnaramesh]

amazing ...

[freddiekarlbom]

This must be one of the best lindy finals ever. I screamed out loud several times.

[laf98z]

Thank God they had Jonathan playing!! That was unbelievable!!

[TheBigLon]

Astonishing
