ULHS 2005 - awsome!!! charleston-finals

[debbiejwilson1]

watched this so many times; never get tired of it!

[graddaz09]

this needs drum n bass!!!!

[organboi]

The guy in the black pants was the best. He had real poise, speed, and total class. He gets my vote. Who won?

[SpectralViral]

Al and Leon would have been proud.

[peruvianhitman]

Def the first girl, but still, what great group. Second would have been the dude at the end for awesome style points.

[taiden]

white girl KILLED IT!

[will111223]

Mute the video and play Cantina Band in the background

[TallmanMike]

The guy in jeans at 2:22

[nomarsat]

Asombroso! La historia es ciclica, pero el talento es eterno.

[KalaDawson]

very glad to see the roaring 20's are alive and well.

[peulenschil]

@KalaDawson

This is a video from 2006! This video is prehistoric!

[CyckOne]

The tiny girl in green and black tore it up in a way that eclipsed the others... and that's a big deal because all of them were REALLY good.

[dansotee]

@CyckOne That's Frida Segerdahl - possibly the best lindy hopper and solo jazz dancer in the world. And yes, she is awesome!

[pinkchico1]

LMFAO i was doing the charleston in band practice the other day i didn't kno what i was doing all i kno is u guys were way better

[edriscooper]

You guys are fabulous!!!!

[aeronuk1]

They should have dressed in 1920's fashions it would've been better.

[Yngland]

love it - super - !!! the small girl is perfect - i am happy that people listen and do this music !!!

[hausmeister64]

THEY DONT HAVE THE SWING AT ALL

[Txboy85A]

The girl in the green was tearing it up! Loved it!!

[acegotflows]

the girl in the green rocked it...

[elizabethvictoriabor]

can a normal person learn how to do this?

[lilanma]

@elizabethvictoriabor Yep! Once you get the basic Charleston down and let the music move you, it's relatively easy. I can do the basics of these moves and I'd never done a Charleston in my life six months ago. :-)

[elizabethvictoriabor]

@lilanma I'd love to learn, but where I live nobody teaches this :(

[lilanma]

@elizabethvictoriabor I taught myself, actually. I used the eHow video on the "recommended videos" playlist, and looked at Aaron1912's Charleston dancing videos. It just takes practice with your coordination. It probably won't take you more than a week to get it, just practice. I did it everywhere, even in the grocery store aisles, haha!

[elizabethvictoriabor]

@lilanma wow! thanks for the tip <3



[lilanma]

@elizabethvictoriabor No problem, hope it goes well! :-) <3

[schwabus1977]

ya t'il une école en suisse reconnue pour atteindre le même niveau?

[schwabus1977]

c'est la classe Monsieur, Dame !!! Vraiment super !!!

[australaqua]

This is so amazing. I have photos of my great grandmother doing the charleston.

she was born in 1899 and my grandma said she was a party girl.

It just blows me away to see this dance. You can't imagine that old people were young once.

I accidentally stumbled on this clip and suddenly think I know my

great grandmother even though I didn't really.

[sorakairi1993]

That looks...really fun

[flyingdogcoco]

Love it!

[BBoyGaijin]

I don't find it :/

[safolivier]

don't know the version since it a live band , but sidney bechet has a really nice one that you can find on jazz-on-line. com ( it free and legal)

[BBoyGaijin]

[BBoyGaijin]

Can you tell or send me the version please

[safolivier]

[BBoyGaijin]

[brynjoy]

[knuckles12stealth]

If this is America , the black chick didn't win.

[juanitoelchico]

Awesome!!! is Just Right!!!!

[RockBrent]

Shit.

They need to bring this back.

Fuck Jerking, Fuck Dougiee, Fuck Shuffling.

It's all about the Charleston ;)

[juwan66]

[WolfKill01]

Let's see justin bieber do THAT

[zmemula]

@WolfKill01

Oh my gosh, never thought I'd see a you-know-who's name under this video.

[DeuceMP2]

@WolfKill01 LOL!

[bmiller050]

they are good!! :D (Y)

[g57yg]

Dude is the Black pants rocked it,

he wins in my book

who ended up actually winning though?

[BammyQ]

Does anybody get reminded of Disney's Goofy because of the music? xD

[sallyuitgroesbeek]

This is really cool! Wish I could do that too! Perhaps I'll just have to practice al lot more...

[diablo335533]

awesome video

[Prologue2113]

look at that pink belt. snazzy.

[metalparkdude]

getting light SMH

[partymaniack]

Stupid..just stupid.

[yvieskis]

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO THE CHARLESTON!!!

[Nielsx1]

this dance is silly, besides the bitches need to be in the kitchen anyways

[Chocolateovermyface]

I love the girl with the black shirt, she got so much energy!

[AMINASUCKER]

holy shit theas kids are animals DEAR GOD I LOVE CARLESTON

[g0ndar]

what's the name of the band or the song? it sounds realy cool

[deadlock365]

The black chick and the guy in the black dress pants were the best.

[trueconsumer6]

So, who won?

[AngelShinato]

I love the charleston...

[animetrancemetal]

first guy must be gay...

[ortalliberty]

 מגניב

[raidendaunreal]

the guy in the jeans got totally eclipsed by everyone else

[degooser2000]

The guy in black pants should be the winner because he was doing the proper Charleston. The girl in green was spectacular but she was doing the Lindy Hop routine .

[bamberlog]

@degooser2000 Absolutely! The guy in black pants was not only doing the proper Charleston, but he was doing it with style! The "girl in green", ah, Lindy Hop or not, she was pretty boring. The black girl was not very technical, but she was so fired-up with that, she did well. As to the lazy bum, wearing the jeans, how the hell did he get to the finals, I'll never know - I've seen better "Charleston" in Warner Brothers' cartoons:) Amen

[Doggieworld3]

Oooooh...*claps*

[Winters7Roses]

Girl in the white top doesnt compare to the other girl and the guy in black pants :) They both rock at the Charleston!

[260james]

Does the splits....breaks his cock....staggers on his knees :') bless him

[Moglus]

guy in blakc pants is a win

[kn4llfrosch]

wow, epileptics?

[marius1992k]

This girl in a white top is the best.

[artchik]

WHo won????? The first girl?! I must know with out reading all the comments! Anybody?....

[themta22]

with electro music is better :D

[Dreiviertel]

@themta22

perfect with watch?v=fd0LKHakD_4 :)

[JustinKennith]

i bet the girl in the green is a freak if you know what i mean

[djirok]

this is a silly dance!! im sure ill get all the girls if i do that at the club!!

[Kryzys77]

i know it's a classic song, but can You write down its title and original performer ?; ) thanks thanks thanks.

[zombiefuckification]

black shirt wins it

[DeuceMP2]

WOW!!! Incredible!!! Girl in the glasses is so good!

[howardizzle]

i have alot of respect for these ppl, these dances influenced alot of the hiphop dances we see today. I cant believe alot of the younger generation still keeps the old charleston dance alive today. This video made me happy.

[DeuceMP2]

@howardizzle Well said on all your points.

[howardizzle]

this is kinda dope

[Wurst44]

do only retarded people get into these contests?

[HungAzn]

guy at 1:10 clearly won.

[deavenlaxton]

pretty sick!!!

[AllMightyDl]

i need to do the chRLESTOIN AT SCHOOL TOMMAROW

[logaboya]

Wow.

The very first dancer owned them all.

Wow. She was good, she totally just blew my mind.

[unintentionalapology]

one of the girls should definately win.

[PsychofanGal]

They're so fantastic and energetic!

The only thing that could have made this better would have been some costumes. :)

[comedownmadness]

For those of you giving the guy in the pink grief you haven't a fecking clue. His footwork is sweet and hhe's got style and dancing is all about the style and originality. Check him out at 1.14 in this video because I think, with frida at .30 in this one, it is one of the most stylish dance moves I've ever seen.

Also does anyone know what the music to this is and how i go about buying some?

[thelonelyslayer]

the chick in white does it the best.

[thelonelyslayer]

that dude totally kills the mood with his jeans and pink belt. serioulsy? play the part.

[naniekso]

the guy with the striped shirt is the best

[Jakathera]

lol this gave me goosebumps!

[Rollich]

What high school is this?

[safolivier]

@Rollich not high school it at ULHS competition

[Jakathera]

@safolivier what's ULHS? most people interpret the HS part to mean "High School"

[My3rZ]

@safolivier

Nice comment idiot, Saying the letters again sure explains what they stand for..... It's not a High School. It's The Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown. aka ULHS. This guy just stole the video and labeled it himself not knowing what it stands for.

[safolivier]

@My3rZ , wow lot of crap in one comment!. firts any lindyhopper would know what ulhs stand for if you don't you type the letter on google and there you go, all the answer. And for the stealing part, the video was given to me by the promotor of the event since that year was one of the last where all the best dancer were present at the same time. p.s: now ULHS is call just showdown ( for the last 2 years)

[My3rZ]

@safolivier The video that you stole from youtube, then posted as your own was given to you by the promoter? You can't even spell promoter, so why the hell would I believe you. Your a mutt, don't post videos and the talk like you know everything about whats going on. Ps. Its not just called showdown... its called the Lindyhop Festival.. Goof. Learn your shit before trying to steal from other people.

[Direness]

@My3rZ I'm sorry, why are you calling anyone a mutt, & why are you worried about his spelling, or if he did or did not repost from Youtube? I could see it being an issue if they were selling videos of the event/ didn't want people taking video themselves/posting it (Imo, it's a bad practice - if you can't make money with attendance, maybe it's just time to put in the towel). But that doesn't seem to be the issue here. You need to go back to bed & take a nap, b/c you're acting like a big baby.

[Direness]

@My3rZ And if you want to pick on spelling: it's YOU'RE a mutt. Not YOUR a mutt. "Your" is a possessive; I don't think you're saying he owns a dog of mixed breeding here. "You're" is the contraction for "You are", meaning in this case, "You are a dog of mixed breeding." Which might be misconstrued as being racist? You aren't racist are you? If not, perhaps you shouldn't use "mutt" as a word to describe a human being, especially one you don't know. Some of us mixed breeds might get offended.

[bamberlog]

@Rollich Not high school (I know, ULHS can be confusing:) - ULHS stands for Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown

[ROCHDBF]

I agree they are all very good but the first girl and last guy are clearly better

[luvyasoot]

all winners! hard to pick!

[bashunt100]

ITS NOT GAY ITS AWESOME!

[pamkayvan]

It looks like these kids are having fun! Are they in High School. They are good.

[pamkayvan]

[TheArfdog]

[nissanrb25dett]

they`re doin it to fast! it looks not really authentic enough.

and they got weird facial expression.

[kaseemnasir]

[lolgurlyyy]

@kaseemnasir no thats the pants style

[Silverbleedy]

I wish I could dance like that!! O__o Damn that guy with the black pants... he's good =o But also the first girl, love her!

[wertez86]

[jcfegz]

[pharoahsoulero]

@ujorewe lol



[pharoahsoulero]

[Kdogdude26]

The Black girl......should win..... HANDS DOWN !

[binnyficate]

@romanianskill Trick question. It makes you retarded.

[SwirvCross]

i'm a bboy but i need to learn me some of this haha. this was dope as hell!

[themadpicker]

@romanianskill no dumbass.....

but really look up "jerking" if you want to see something more "faggy"

[ZeroPhyx]

this dance is so awesome :) I can't even count the girls i've tapped thx to this dance :)

Works every time! well... atleast in the university scene in Sweden :D

[safolivier]

hmmm interesting comment.... but clearly coming form someone with half a brain cell

[themadpicker]

@romanianskill fag

[totalwaste]

@romanianskill the dude with the pink belt proves it

[baranxi]

your excellent and unique wit makes you almost as sexy as the four peeps in the video. almost. you just missed by a mile... or lightyear.

[romanianskill]

@baranxi DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUH. why do i bother even writing back to silly comments like this? you are not the clever person you think you are baranxi, sorry but your comment is a childish one, like something from saved by the bell.

[themadpicker]

@romanianskill you've gotta be the dumbest troll on youtube....

[se7en1976]

@romanianskill LOL.. love your work

[SpeedFreakNO]

@romanianskill You are correct. They do look happy. Maybe it can make you happy too.

[leendikketeen]

@romanianskill

I'd like to see you try it on a video response..

[bcolc1]

didnt know the way i danced actually had a name...

[highestcount]

Gay dude in the black pants was probably the best.

[C99889]

now i think this is so stupid

[vegafanstar]

eehhh

[gitboxjammer]

well good eye guys, the first girl is Frida!

[eviljoel]

Personally, I think that whenever Charleston and happy jazz music is involved, everybody wins.

[1ofmeNlotsofU]

the chick in the white tank top deserves to win cause shes got skills and shes trying very hard.

[Lefti1989]

Fact: First Chick in bed = Best Sex EVAR!!!... that is all.

[eviljoel]

@Lefti1989 Like making love to a tornado. Awesome.

[ekm9]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!

[TuvTube]

@ekm9 That's what I said, too.

[Arkthurius]

They all dance awesome, I could not vote for any in particular, all of them have one amazing step of their own that is amazing.

[amydooooo]

makes me want to get up and dance!

[C99889]

I NEED TO DANCE LIKE DAT
