Northern Lights performance at Frankie95

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Our Northern Lights team performance at Frankie95. It was such a great experience preparing for this. Melanie & Joshua, the choreographers, did an amazing job building the routine. Dancers are Eric Bertrand, Nardia Tonge, Mélanie Huot-Lavoie, Joshua Welter, Alain Fragman, Caroline Rossi, Lunou Samson-Poirot and me. The other team members who’ve danced this routine with us in the past are Sylwia Bielec, Adrian Warnock-Graham, Marie N’Diaye.

It was intended as a tribute to the past (and especially to Frankie Manning) and so you’ll see many classic vintage moves and styling. The feedback we’ve gotten so far has been overwhelmingly positive - thank you!

Taking a break from dance blogging

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Thank you readers for following my dance blog this past year. I’ve decided to put blogging on hold for the next month as I prepare for my 7 week bike trip from Vancouver to Mexico. I’ll be dancing all along the West Coast on my way down south (starting with Camp Jitterbug in Seattle), so I’ll definitely write about my journey along the way.

It’s not too late to donate (click here to go to my donation page), and you can also come support me by dancing on Friday April 25 at Cat’s Corner. The Cool Canaries will be playing for my fundraiser.

New Dance Blog

As Carl mentioned yesterday, we are launching a collaborative dance blog project this summer. There will be more dancer interviews, more jazz music discussions and more reporting on Lindy Hop events in the near future.

For now, here are the most popular posts of the last year:
