Modern Follower Video Index of the Ages!

In Dance Epiphanies, Event Reviews on November 5, 2011 at 10:27 pm

Hey Everyone! I need your help with a project – I want to make a (cue dramatic music) “Modern Follower Video Index of the Ages!” When I started dancing, I had to watch a lot of single time east coast swing videos, trying to find the really great lindy hop videos. Hopefully this will help. I will be indexing videos here for followers from pretty much the 2000′s to the present. This will be a post that I continue to update as time goes on, because there are lots of videos to include.

If there are some videos from events that you particularly like watching, or an event you suggest I include, leave a comment and I’ll include them. Also, I would like to first focus this list on outstanding partnered lindy hop social dances, and then later include choreographed ones, and solo pieces, and balboa as well :)

Here is my list of events so far that I will be linking videos from (please help me if I have missed any by commenting, particularly international events, events before 2005ish, etc.)!

ALHC

NADC

Lindy On The Rocks

Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown

International Lindy Hop Championships

Camp Jitterbug

Lindyfest

Lindy Diversion

Lindy Shock

Harlem

Lone Star Championships

Lindy Focus

  1. I love this clip of Nina and Peter dancing in the LOTR Jack and Jill Finals (2009).

  2. This video of Alice Mei dancing with Max Pitruzella in the ILHC 2009 Jack and Jill is one of my all time favorites. Both look like they’re having so much fun and this dance is just so playful!

  3. Barswingona, Crazy Rhythm Challenge, Grenoble Swing Dance Festival, Tournament Grenoble, Camp Hollywood, Frankie 95, GNSH (Goodnight Sweetheart), Ljubljana SweetSwing Festival, Rhythmic Arts Festival, Savoy Swing Jam, Swinging in the rain, Swing Crash Como, Shout ‘n Feel it, The Battle in Stockholm, Provence Swing Festival, …
    I think the video where I watched Nina dance over and over and over again was this one :

  4. and now, also the European Swing Dance Championships (ESDC since 2011)

  5. You should partner with Jonathan Jow, revive Lindy Library, and tag the dancers in all the clips.

  6. Any clip of Carla Heiney social dancing…
