Midwest Lindyfest 2010 Invitational Jack & Jill Part 1.

In honor of my first MWLF this weekend, here’s the first part of last year’s Jack & Jill. Lotsa awesome here.

Dancers: bunches (announced in the video).

Demo at barSWINGona 2011.

Calm, relaxed, effortless.

Dancers: Naomi Uyama, Skye Humphries, Laura Glaess, Peter Strom.

Mike & Laura perform a choreography at Lindyfest 2011 in Houston.

I’m always blown away by the musicality and character in Mike and Laura’s choreographies. My favorite parts are the beginning, 0:45, 1:35, and 2:00. I’ve definitely watched this four or five times now.

Dancers: Laura Glaess and Mike Roberts.

Kirk & Ann recapping a class for the 9:20 Special in San Francisco.

Class recaps can be funny too (it’s in the beginning).

Dancers: Ann Mony and Kirk Tarou.

Thomas & Alice doing a social dance demo at Frim Fram in New York.

The usual slow lindy amazing.

Last one of these two for a while, but only because I can’t find any more and I have a backlog of Lindyfest videos to post. They’ll be back on here soon.

Dancers: Alice Mei and Thomas Blacharz.

Thomas & Alice doing a social dance demo at the Prague Swing Spring Festival.

Slow Lindy is one of my recent obsessions—that’s why I was so glad that Lindy Focus had a slow dance division (more on that in another post). Here you can see Thomas and Alice using all of that extra time between the beats to superb effect.

Dancers: Alice Mei and Thomas Blacharz.

Thomas & Alice doing a social dance demo at the Superheros Workshop in Berlin.

I really like this song for social dancing. Thomas is also a master of that swingout variation that he leads with (about 0:14)—I’ve seen it all over the place recently but none quite as good as his.

Dancers: Alice Mei and Thomas Blacharz.

Thomas & Alice doing a social dance demo at Gypsy Jam Weekend 2010.

The first in a bunch of Thomas + Alice social dance demos. Love watching them—they’re so creative!

Digging Peter’s swivels, as usual.
