    Re: Swing at the hanger

    Is this someones attemp at a joke. Two of my favorite ROCKABILLY BANDS. One major question; how do you dance Lindy Hop to their music? Why get dressed in 40's gear. Who are the swing bands and who is the swing DJ. I attended the last swing at the hanger dance which was fun but cant remember the band

    More information please?

    its not a joke.
    it also stats 40s and 50s.
    how do you dance Lindy Hop to their music you ask? i have done lindy for 2 years and can do lindy to almost anything. Benny is great to lindy to and straight 8s have a couple of there early songs that you can lindy to.

    Re: Swing at the hanger

    I have danced to benny for years. You can do the lindy steps but you cant DANCE the Lindy Hop to Benny. He is a jump blues/ rockabilly style band and not a sw9ing band. Also why get dressed in 40's gear when you are going to a fifties music culture event. Doesnt make sense. And Straight 8's? You suggesting you can dance Lindy to them? You should have included a band Like Matt Dwer or the 5 piece version of Pearly Shells.

    If you can do the Lindy steps you can do the Lindy Hop. It's as easy as 5, 6, 7, 8! I might not Belly dance to Swing music but I can certainly Lindy to a Rockabilly tune. I think it must be a matter of interpretation.

    I guess we'll just have to hope someone posts some Lindy dancing from tonight on YouTube???
