Thanks for posting on my blog! Your clip was immediately one of my favorites. I love the rhythm, the way the Mvelope bounces across the screen, and the energy that you two exude. My nickname growing up was Lindy, so it's pretty cool to find out that my favorite clip was actually the Lindy Hop! Sweet! Congrats on getting selected!!! Hey! Thanks for posting on my blog!
