alain’s dance blog

I had an awesome time hanging out with Stephanie and the wonderful Toronto dancers this past weekend  during the Mike and Casey weekend. It was also fun to DJ at the Dovercourt House - my musical highlight happened when the band started playing along to Ridin’ and Jivin’ (Earl Hines) and after I faded out the recording, most dancers didn’t even notice - to the point that some thought they were still dancing to a record and had to be reminded to clap after the song. It was a seamless transition, and sounded really good live.

Falty also showed me a mind-bending slide sequence from the Spirit Moves that was shown to him by Nathan Bugh during Lindy Focus this past week - you can view it at the 5:29 mark of this youtube clip. Try it, it’s fun!

Thank you Simon Threlkeld for letting me DJ!
