The Boston Tea Party 2010 - Late Night Jam Circle - Swing Dance Exchange

Filmed by Voon.

Late night equals wilder dancing and crazier jams!

The beginning was so obscure and abstract, I don't think I've ever seen this kind of dancing before!

There's also another one I filmed which is in two parts.

Glad I was lucky enough to witness it and film it for those who missed it in person!

For more information about the event please go to the site to purchase the DVD for footage of the incredible competitions (as well as the Crossover Invitationals which are a riot) as well as the fabulous workshop instruction.

The Boston Tea Party is a dance convention in which dancers from around the world come together for four days and nights to celebrate and share their passion for a dance called Swing (includes lindy hop, balboa, collegiate shag and west coast swing.)

Man I love this. I hate to ask but what is the name of the song during the second half after You are my moonshine? I think I have heard it so many times before but i just have no idea what it is called.

Thanks for posting this, Voon :)

I had a great time DJ'ing late late night at BTP. The two songs that started this jam were "You are my Sunshine" followed by "You are my Moonshine" by the New Orleans Moonshiners. Both recordings start off slow and then pick up with great energy.

My favorite moment in this video happens at 6:26 :)

Such a great event !!! Kudos to all the dancers who stayed up late, especially Andrew - you are a beast!
