@scousechick87 I couldn't disagree more. Some of the best male Lindy Hoppers in the world are tall and well above average - Kevin St. Laurent, Bernard (with Anne-Helene) and Sakarias Larson. They don't look gangly because they have good posture. The Ball-roomers are trying to imitate a look, they don't realise that the Lindy Hop look comes from trying to stay balanced at genuine high dance speeds. Lindy Hoppers look they do because of body mechanics - these ballroom dance don't

Ballroom lindy hop really kills the life of the dance.

I really dislike Natalie.. I find she tried to show off with her amazing partners. In this dance.. i vote for COLA and i do for the rest of the competition!

@katachi Dax and Sarah were on live to dance. I was a little let down by their routine, but at least it was a good example of how Lindy Hop is done instead of bad Neo Swing that keeps popping up all over the place.

wow, this is the probably the most authentic lindy hop choreography I've seen on popular TV dance shows, with actual swing outs! I'm impressed sort of. Couldn't concentrate because they got the audience clapping on the wrong beat though...
