Non-swing video. This is a short clip of Amelia, a film by Edouard Lock (Opus Arte).
The multi-award-winning dance film Amelia (2002) explores the use of point technique using extended intertwining solos, complex partnering sequences and extreme speed to generate powerful performances with unexpected moments of tender emotion and serenity.

Todd Yannacone and Kelly Arsenault winning the Strictly Lindy at the US Open in California this past weekend.
Watch Eddie Uehara’s dance to inspire video. The music is “Apologize” by One Republic.
Hilarious dance clip from Swingin’ New England this past weekend with Doug Silton, Ben Morris, Marty Klempner and Kevin St-Laurent. Don’t miss the last 15 seconds! Proof that two guys can dance together and look good.
One of my favorite moments at ALHC this past weekend was the SwingOutDayton team performance. They created a routine based on OK Go’s Youtube winner “Here It Goes Again”. We’ll have to wait for the official video release, but here is version one that they performed at the Battle of the Swing Cities in Detroit. If I remember correctly, the ALHC performance had four couples instead of three, and the routine was polished.
In a division full of serious swing routines (and that includes ours), SwingOutDayton totally blew everyone away - I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Awesome job, Dayton! Too bad I couldn’t tell them in person how much I appreciated their performance.
EDIT - Joanna posted a link to the ALHC video in the comments.
