The Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown has always been my favorite dance event, and I was super bummed to miss it again this year, but God bless the Internet for allowing me to live vicariously through other people’s uploaded clips. My favorite video to emerge so far is this overhead shot of the Blues division — just lots of funky stuff going on here that I dig, especially Todd & Alice (2nd couple).
Everyone who was there keeps saying that the vibe was unreal and I can totally believe it – New Orleans is a magical city. So much music, so much culture, so much history, and beauty and art and funk and alcohol – the magical glue that binds it all together. That city is freaking awesome even without ULHS. It’s probably a good thing I couldn’t make the trip. My head would have asploded.
