  • @SVTapir While I appreicate their highly energetic and powerful dance, I must agree. This was not Lindy at all.

  • While it was an amazing routine, and William & Maeva are incredible dancers, I really don't see how that should win a *lindy hop* competition?

    it is a Lindy Showcase (This is a no-holds barred dance. All lifts, drops, aerials, airsteps and acrobatics are allowed.) It is not a Classic Lindy. Sometimes people get confused and annoyed with all the tricks but if you look closely you can see the basic Lindy pattern and even some swingouts ;)

  • @tmtke It's a Boogie Woogie - Lindy Hop Hybrid... (Mind you, mostly Boogie Woogie)

  • @Faegus absolutelty agree.. i startet dancing 1 year ago with boogie woogie, lindy hop etc.. and i have to say it is very difficult but it makes a lot of fun. Today i am a good dancer and can their moves :) maybe not so good as them but nearly

    Sorry for my bad english ;)

  • First Song name Pls :) 0:14

  • @Pam0284 here, here, pam. you tell 'em!

  • It's boogiewoogie, but swings nonetheless

  • genial ... :-)))

  • Just taking apart the steps there actually is a billion swing-out variations in there. At least I see them. It just doesn't feel like Lindy Hop, because the music (and therefore the dancing) don't have that "swingy" feeling to it? This feels more like Rock'n'Roll, I agree, but it's actually really advanced Lindy technique, so I do see why they won the Lindy competiton with it. It's a fresh take on Lindy Hop, and setting it to different music is a pretty adventurous step.

  • supertoll ... :-))))
