I think last night was a lindy hop victory. I feel redeemed. We didn't do bells & whistles lindy hop, but we did use a repertoire of nine or ten...
I thought my partner had given up when I took myself off the roster, but the next day, she contacted me with ways to get plenty more practice before...
Thanks SD. I got myself marked off the roster for lindy hop a little while ago. I'm still in waltz, jitterbug and the hustle for that show. Those...
here we are... one week from the night of the show. My partner still hasn't invested more than 20 minutes into practicing lindy hop. I gave her a...
The show is February 18 or 19. I think it's Friday the 18th.
They consulted me on the song for lindy hop. I showed 'em a few, and they chose my favorite (for these circumstances), Young Buddy by Ray Bryant....
I don't know anything about Balboa except the basic stepping pattern, and I've never even done it with a partner. I didn't know there was such a...
Anyone have more details on starting and ending lollies? What more is there to know regarding what the leader does that gets the follower to nail...
There's one guy and his partner who are advanced in single ecs, so they're doing that. Everyone else was taught step, step, back rock by one of the...
Last night, the adults had to go to another room while they did some stuff with teenagers. I started chatting about lindy hop with a 21 year old...
No nothing has started yet. I'm starting to think they don't want to call me to start rehearsal in January. I suspect they're thinking that whoever...
I hope it's not a train wreck. I hope they'll find something simple enough to do or lobby to the director that they want out before taking something...
That's not one of the Marcus & Barbl videos I have, but I think that whatever they call flying lindy is what will eventually be universally known as...
Does the follower step on her right on 2? That's probably the detail I didn't notice. Your way, do you step on your left on 3? I see that they say...
Sorry I can't say anything about the term "flying lindy". It appears to have not really firmly attached itself universally to a specific move....
The narration in the show even points out the mixing of 6 and 8 count moves in lindy hop... they even mention break away. So, they verbally cover...
That's cool that you mentioned it as possibly being 6-count lindy hop because it got me thinking. With what they do, one big part of lindy hop that...
Yeah, but patience and understanding (understanding the good and the bad) must preclude stubborn principles. I can't be reckless.
I'll send you a DVD of it, pygmalion. I can't believe I don't know your real name! I put last February's DVD in the trash compactor yesterday, but...
Yes, I can quit. I think they wish I would do that. But, this is just something important to me. I want to hang in there & see what I can...
