I love blues dancing!, swing, lindy n latin too. The end made me giggle, I love it. After the song ends they both went back to the social personal bubble space mode, the overwhelmingly cultural appropriateness n rules. I love how blues dancing's all about intensity emotions and interaction with the body, how all that escapes the rules and boundaries. Then at the end (it's funny I've done this dozens of times) after an exotic dip you draw back and look like school kids again. ha ha

If anyone is still wondering about the tune, it's Souvenirs of New Orleans by Sydney Bechet, Bechet was a truly amazing person. A classically trained musician who made the choice to stop reading music!

There are some Blues elements at times in the embrace, body movement, and mostly in the call response. We aren't really connecting with the song, as we are trying to connect with one another, mimicking and playing with movement together. If I could change the title I would have years ago, but then I would have never posted it in the first place and some people have clearly enjoyed it, so I suppose it's for the best.

This was the first day I met Lucky Skillen. After a lesson Mihai asked to record us dancing a song. This is a beautiful tradition Blues song, however we are clearly dancing Fusion. You all picked up on the Lindy, WCS, Salsa, Tango aspects of our interaction. We were dancing the patterns we found in common to connect to each other with. It is very explorative and I never expected 45,000 people to see it. It was not meant to be a performance or an example of what Blues is

Still the best blues dancing video I've seen on youtube.

It is a common misconception to believe people join Scientology because of the doctrine of Xenu. People actually come to Scientology hoping for increased intelligence, improved personality, and help in dealing with personal problems (as it advertises itself as a self-help philosophy). Later, if they had paid enough, they learn a system of beliefs based on science fiction stories, infestations of alien spirits and exploding volcanos.

This is the bait-and-switch aspect of the scheme.

they have good rhythm and it looks like they added different styles too
