I posted this video in place of the old one, as it is steadier and better quality.

smooth as. They don't need any fancy flipping to be fantastic. My favourite lindy hop performance.

When I find my jaw and eyeballs rolling around the floor I'll comment. WOW!

@gitboxjammer He's probably wearing Aris Allen, raw leather sole, white cap toe model. Very, very very very popular shoe among advanced lindy hoppers :)

@superglump well it's got east coast, charleston, lindy, and a little bit of balboa too. I just tend to group all those under east coast swing, which probably isn't right but it's how I learned to categorize it. lol.

@BenjaminPaulWoodham As a point of interest, this is not east coast swing. It's Lindy Hop.

that harmony keeps me so warm :-)

:') This made my heart so happy!

@ByGeorgeous Yes! What is it?!

@Bradd10003

No. You fail. That's not what east coast swing is about. The idea is to be as relaxed and unpolished as possible. It's Savoy.

Now if you want polished, you should go west coast dancing sometime. It's hard and your 100% more likely to cause an arm injury.

And don't you ever dare say Skye and Frida aren't performance standard... they're part of the silver shadows. That's like saying James Brown isn't groovy.

I had the pleasure of being instructed by these two at Lindyfest, they were the most amazing, fantastic, instructors ever.
