Lindyfest 2010 - Skye Humphries & Frida Segerdahl

[spiderkins]

Frida is amazing and I just wished it were possible to see her dance with Fred Astaire.

[Siscast]

this is so sublime and life changing! I can't stop crying because it's so amazingly beautiful! I just had an epiphany watching these two god-like figures dancing so wonderfully and seamlessly together! My life is complete! I long to be like them! XOXO!!!

[oiytouy]

I score your dance a perfect 10 in the catagory of

looks like you two like each other and are having FUN.

[faymissk]

[alexandrialeeb]

[gaempis]

[ryanrahn]

@gaempis "Jump Through The Window" by Roy Eldridge

[artsylass]

Swoon! I love how it's not so much a performance for them as it is just enjoying the music & doing what comes naturally. <3

[sbbbjm]

you gotta have a german sheperd and a cane if you think there's anything wrong with this routine. this brad dude is a dumb wanker.

[marwo264]

They are so good it's not funny anymore...

@Bradd10003: I saw Yuval Hod dancing that you supposedly like... it's not Lindy Hop, it's Rock 'n Roll

[lust4life4ever]

He's probably my fave lead to watch but I've never had the pleasure of a dance with him.

[lust4life4ever]

Sad. He's probably my fave lead to watch but I've never had the pleasure of a dance with him.

[fridamemorylane]

Skye moves so nice!!! Frida too

[Bradd10003]

I don't like Skye. His footwork is unclean, the wheight is on his whole feet rather than on the balls which makes him look like Donald duck., the distance between each step is unequal and the position of the body is unbalanced. He should have started his reharsals by looking at this video like this one and correcting these mistake in front of the mirror. It's difficult but it's what professional dancers are supposed to do. Also, the double pirouette puts in evidence his lack of technique.

[Michaelownz101]

@Bradd10003

You must have something personal against Skye. You have no clue what you are ranting about and its irritating to listen to you. Also, fix your spelling, i feel like i'm reading something a third grader would have written.

[LuthienMoonLight]

@Michaelownz101 Either that or he really thinks he knows everything about lindy hop and feels the compulsion to correct everyone who doesn't agree with him. Either way, it's childish, immature and shows the kind of person he is. Considering how amazing Frida and Skye are, his comments are completely meaningless, I'm sure you'll agree.

@Bradd10003

dear Brad, show us your footwork, tell us your teacher and whom you do like the best (maybe in Salsa?) and the best example of how the 1st man in the world in lindy bed in his dancing... Maybe you want people pay more attention on you? What I can say about you, that you're just made new registration on youtube, and that you know in Lindy Hop NOT A THING if you say such ungroundble things in terms of dancing lindy hop. Good luck! (-:

[Sigurd82]

@Bradd10003 Based on your previous comments on videos with Skye, who are you, and what are you basing your criteria on? It seems clear that you are not into Lindy, or any jazz dance for that matter. This isn't ballroom. You cannot judge it as such. A swingout isn't a swingout if the dude is standing upright on the balls of his feet. Watch ANY of the pro Lindy Hoppers. Watch Frankie Manning. Who? Look him up.

[missheath000]

@Bradd10003 What? He emphasizes all the right beats, he takes care of his follow, and his just plain amazing. We must come from a different background because I do not see what you see. With the amount of connection and momentum needed for lindyhop, if he was on his toes he'd fall over.

[0xfeedsam]

thank you~~

anyway what's name of this song??

[lindyjazzuk]

@0xfeedsam

The track is Jump Through the Window, from the Roy Eldridge Orchestra.

[samuel7275]

What camera did you use to film this? The quality is awesome!

[ryanrahn]

@samuel7275 Thanks! I used a Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-105mm f/4L lens. It's not as easy to shoot video with as a traditional video camera, but the image quality is unreal!...especially in low light situations.

[stellarThorns]

love everything about this routine. everything.

[Minuslain]

Too too smooth!

[CZpoli]

frida is best ♥
