#bal-swing

People talk about different aspects of the scene or the dance, but I've found that they’re often they’re coming from a very limited perspectives, and ignoring how different facets of the community are interrelated. That’s an easy thing to do in our community because we’re mostly connected informally through events and social media. There’s no really reliable way to get a big picture view of the entire scene, but that’s what we're going to try to do here.

My other other online project is a joint video show with Bobby White of Swungover fame. We're doing an interview with Lindy Hopper Nina Gilkenson, which I should be posting online this week. Possibly even tonight. The interview is going to feature a bunch of old pictures and videos of Nina including ones like this from all the way back in 1998, a mere few months after she started dancing Lindy Hop at the age of 13.
