If Lacey is an example of the look then you are mistaken in how it is being achieved. Lacey just has a rather well shaped posterior (*sigh*) she...
The follower in Lindy hop does not use an "anchor." The follower continues down the path created by the leader until her momentum is arrested. This...
I'll have to look at my books to find which one(s) specifically reference it, but the slaves were being put against one and other and bet on by there...
Urlin is in an extreme minority. First the Seminole didn't dance man/woman, they danced in solo, or in groups of like sexes, with each sex having...
Actually lindy hop is often danced in excess of 200 bpm, and the best examples are often in excess of 260 bpm. East Coast Swing tends to top out at...
The gut-stomp (and early version of what is sometimes called knee-rocks in Blues dances or Applejacks in Jazz) does not fit the description that...
It is just that there is a mountain of evidence that contradicts... well nearly everything you said, and you specifically put your information up...
Not even remotely lindy-hopish. I can think of half a dozen dances it was closer to than lindy-hop.
They may have been the best Latin dancers the show has seen, but they weren't the best dancers the show has seen. To quote AC/DC, "Step yo...
Now I love both of these dancers but they are not Hip-Hop dancers. Courtney's team is really more pop or "video-dance" what Dan Karaty calls...
Now that says nothing. Ken Bruns is not a Jazz dancer, Al Minns discusses the origination of Lindy Hop on film and makes no mention of "the Stomp"...
The points you brought up actually contradict the things Frankie has told me as well as the works of well known researchers like Marshall Stearns....
I've interviewed and spent time with darn near every known surviving member of the Savoy 100. Not one of their versions of the origins of Lindy Hop,...
Lindy Hop and Lindy Swing? Can you share with us your sources for this? The closest thing I've heard to this is that Lindy Hop as what the New...
Er... and what do you call the dozens of dances that existed between this "Stomp" and The Lindy Hop? How do you reconcile the fact that Single...
Honestly, I don't believe Ceroc is a dance at all, I think it is a teaching methodology, it looks pretty different depending on the music, the only...
Generally it is classified as a rhythm dance by the ballroom crowd I think which is where Swing also is, but technically speaking it is not a swing...
The Lindy Hop was the first "popular" name to Swing Dancing. Jitterbug used to be a derogatory term which eventually was embraced by the dancers and...
I'd go so far to say 9 times out of 10 she ill at least start in the direction she is being led, before she digs her heels in. ;) It is a funny...
In my experience it is the exact opposite. Tense arms dampen all nuance from a lead which results in a follower having to be dragged or driven to...
