From Camp Jitterbug in Seattle to Vancouver
After a great weekend of dancing in Seattle at Camp Jitterbug, I’m finally in Vancouver for the beginning of my ride. I met some really great people on the last day who gave me a ride up: Eric and Tim Shaw and Edina Hechanova (Eric and Edina won the Flyweight fast division at Lindy Bout this year). Here’s a picture we took arriving late in Vancouver, the camera on top of Eric’s car.
And here are Eric and Edina, along with Ben and Sheri Yau (behind the camera) while I try the Snatch-Cake from Mike Faltesek and Casey Schneider’s airsteps class at Camp Jitterbug. Both Ben and Eric were so much better than me at this!
I got to spend some time with Eric, Edina and Lucy Faulkner in Vancouver and it was nice to chat about our different dance scenes and about Lindy Hop in general (what else?). I got to hear their perspective of the Pacific Northwest scene.
I also helped out as an extra lead in Eric and Lucy’s classes at Jungle Swing. They’ve got a Lindy U like we do at Cat’s Corner. I wonder who came up with the name first… In any case, they are fantastic teachers, and I hope we’ll see them on the East coast sometime soon.
