Watch our Lindy Hop performance at ULHS 2007

Mélanie Huot-Lavoie and Alain Wong competing in the Lindy Hop performance division at the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown 2007.

Mélanie hasn’t seen the video yet, but I think we are satisfied with our performance. I was really stressed the morning of, waking up before everyone else in our hotel room and then watching CNN in the lobby because I had nothing else to do to keep me distracted.

We did get some good feedback from dancers, so that was cool. Ben Yau from California commented on the fact that despite our short stature (we were by far the smallest couple performing), we did a good job of dancing big. Yay arms and hands.

Let me know what you think of our performance.

    Alain, I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite performances that I’ve seen. You two are so in sync with one another, especially in the solo portions. It’s so entertaining. I really loved it. Can’t wait to dance with you again. See you at ALHC?

    Thanks Joanna for the kind words. The solo portions took a lot of practice. We’re glad it turned out okay.

    Yes, I’ll be at ALHC. Can’t wait to dance with you again too!

    So someone did film you guys! Great! Despite being nervous, your performance was awesome! We can’t really notice that you were nervous at all! All your efforts and time practicing paid off well!

    And yay for small dancers! =)

    Found your site via Swing Dancer Magazine. I saw you at Showdown and thought you looked familiar, but wasn’t sure why. Must have been the Google Mail video!

    Excellent job in the performance, very well done!

    It’s not just your arms and hands that helped give you that ‘big’ look. You really extended through your whole body, your torso and upper body helped out a lot. Good job!
