@CaraJorgensen Sorry, but not. This is not a matter of opinion; it's a fact. This is not Lindy Hop. This is what's known as West Coast Swing with some air steps thrown in. It's also done to non-swinging Neo Swing music. This is not the kind of music Lindy Hop is danced to. Please go luck up actual Lindy Hop. Thanks.

I loved this. Athletic, synchronized, in time to the music. Spectacular moves. As for those who did not like the style, too bad. The Lindy Hop was innovative in its athleticism, its dependance at time on the strength of the women, its exuberance and its freeness. How absurd to now complain about not following traditional form. The moves in here are so hard and so easy to miss as can be confirmed by looking at some other contest videos.

I love the way they fit the routine perfectly into the idiosyncrasies of the music. The move at 1:52 is just one example. Back into the bounce just in time with the music. They pulled that off several times.

I think it was an awesome routine! As a freestyle dancer and circus performer I found this video extremely inspiring and very entertaining. So what if it isn't strictly a Lindy routine, you should take it on it's merits. If you can't... Methinks you doth protest too much! (unless of course, you have videos of yourself doing better that you'd like to post...?)

@swingmutt Wow!! Sorry, mate. I never realised 7 simple words would get such a passionate response. Are you related to the dancers?



That's not Lindy Hop!

I wouldn't really call this Lindy Hop. If you want to see Lindy at its best, you should really look up some of the Lonestar Championship videos or ULHS videos.
