It's my favorite lindy video. Whenever I introduce a friend to lindy, this is the link I send. This routine really has that wonderful social dancing feel, right down to the t-shirts and sweat. It's what social dancing in lindy hop is all about.

@spromtet You know, from what i've heard, this is social dancing; i think Skye told Frida half an houre before the competition that he had signed them up or something. And although this is such a great "routine" i think that they are improvising on the spot!
Great dansers!

@Bradd10003 lindyhop looks better loose, IMO. Yuval is too stiff. Sure for ballroom Yuval is great, but lindyhop looks better the way Skye and Frida do it. Now could they do ballroom as well as Yuval? Probably not. But that is because its a completely different dance with a different set of rules.

For me, this style of dancing is the epitome of Lindy Hop. It's mostly socially led, which is to say highly improvised; it's musical; it's joyful; it's playful. There's a nice interplay between the partners. The dancing is superb.
Every time I see a highly polished routine, even one with amazing aerials and flawless execution, something about it leaves me cold. To me, a Lindy dance should always be something of an experiment. If it's too polished, the dancers aren't being playful enough.

Jerry Almonte's blog entry 'Behind The Dance: Frida & Skye at ALHC 2005' tells the back-story of the performance: yes, it is mostly an improvised social dance.
