TJ's familiar with dogpiles, maybe he knows. :wink:

Ok i figured out a little about dogpile. Andrew Stutton is one of the dancers. i just had the other name and lost it again. www.smoothsavoy.com that's where you find the video. Every Swing dancer should take a look at it.

Glad you found it, because, when I googled "dogpile swing dance performance group", I came up with dogpile.com, as best as I can tell, some sort of search engine. :? :doh: Go figure!

[luh]

i can't remember the other name, I'll find out tomorrow. But do you know, if they came together just for one performance?
in any case you should watch the clip. It's really worth it!
dogpile cabaret swing shows more interesting results pyg :)

now i remember. it's dax hock. The other guy in the clip. Still don't know the ladies name though. Dax hock is in japan atm. Maybe cocodrilo can tell us a little more about him.

Last time Andrew was up here visiting we watched that video with him, and I'm pretty sure he said the girl was one of his dance partners (only know of 2 that he's had recently, but can't remember their names). I know that's not much of a lead, but it's all I got for ya. :) Andrew is a hell of a nice guy btw, I'm sure if you emailed him he'd tell you the name of the girl. :)

Another friend of mine remembers all this kind of thing really well, I'll try to bug him next time I see him and see if he remembers who Andrew said it was.

that'd be cool.
Andrew gave a workshop over few months ago. The dumb thing - i had to leave for america for a week, and missed it. Didn't know that he did all those kind of cool things by than.

Sorry, Luh! Couldn't tell you anything about the swing scene here as it is practically non-existent, unless you are in major cities. :(

I just did a search in Japanese for Dax Hock on the Japanese search engines and came up with nothing but "dachshund"! :lol:

i looked in google.de and found plenty of japanese results.

But you'd think if the guy was in Japan right now, there would be some site listed in Japanese so the locals could get the info, no?

I was just checking out those sites- all are in Osaka or Tokyo-, but it says nothing about any recent workshop or that Dax is in Japan now. (He's a cutie, by the way!) Saw one of his Osaka performance videos and I love the energy of that dance. Not sexy, but so fun and funky. I could get into that! 8)

Oh, I found it! It starts on 9/17. The site came up in English. Check it out from that end.

Says Dax has been "based in Osaka for the past 3.5 years". Might have to go get some private lessons, heh heh... 8)
