Best slow motion dancing in a Lindy Hop video clip

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

The best slow motion I’ve ever seen on a Lindy Hop video (at around 1:20 into the clip). The dancers are Nick Williams and Carla Heiney from California during the Reno Dance Sensation 2007.

Nick was the choreographer of the So You Think You Can Dance Lindy Hop routine this season for Lacey and Neil. I love his musicality. And Carla is one of my favorite dancers at Lindy Hop events. She’s so much fun to dance with! No matter what level you’re at, she’ll smile and make you feel good.

Google ran a contest last month in order to build a collaborative video through Youtube for Gmail. The idea was to pass the Gmail logo (an M envelope) in a creative way through video. Ann and I submitted a video of us swinging out with the envelope, and guess what? We made it onto the final cut!
