Some of my favourite swing clips

Ok Im not entirely neutral on this one, it's from an event I organised, so I can tell you that Mickey and Kelly got a roughly 15minute notice of me asking them to do a social demonstration dance before they then did it, and it's to the live band to a song that was selected by them ahead of time but they'd never heard the band play it before (or that specific band before that evening)

Band is the awesome Rose Room, if you're in Scotland and have the chance to hear them play do, great vocalists and violinist.

Anyway the playfulness and the musicality in the clip is just brilliant, I can't get over Kelly's footwork, social balboa at the highest level.

 
Max Pitruzzella showing he's a pretty good follow. I also like that it's a nice and chilled out dance.

It's a facebook embed, just clicking on the picture should make it play

 
The boston tea party has just been and gone so there's a new batch of crossover invitational jack and jill videos on youtube. I really love seeing the lindy and west coast pros dancing with each other, shows both how similar but also the differences in the dances.



It's sort of amusing that now it's a tradition for the west coast follows to dress up "lindy" for the comp and vice versa. The guys have joined in with it somewhat as well
