Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown (ULHS) 2007 - Fast Lindy Finals Competition (Angle: 1P100A). This is the finals for the fast strictly lindy contest. To download the high quality (DivX) video go to: http://www.lindylibrary.com/
The song is "Happy as the day is long" and was written for a Cotton Club show by Harold Arlen. It was recorded by Duke Ellington, in New York, on Brunswick May 9 1933.
Another great contemporary recording is Fletcher Hendesons, also made in NY, september 11 1934.
Now I´m asking: Can anyone tell me anything about the band that performs in the video?
Damn, Jeremy and Laura had some really original aerials. Everyone was breathtaking - I was there and believe me, in person this competition nearly made my heart burst with lindy joy!

I know Hellzapoppin is supposed to be the best, and for sure, it made my jaw drop when I saw it.
But after watching this, I can't seem to find my jaw.
Fantastic Fast Lindy Hop.
