C'mon, Atalanta ... it's Yehoodi ... who did you think it was??! :wink:

Where did there appear to be confusion on my part? Merely stating facts.

I have to say though, I think the video that Tommy posted is every bit as relevant to the conversation as the Deor video that was posted. :P

you mean "not at all?"

Quoted from "Atalanta"
So the question clearly has become: How MANY times will this thread take an absurd turn? :crash:

It took an absurd turn at conception. Everything after that was simply an acceptance issue.

Quoted from "Atalanta"
First of all: :oops:

Oh the hotness of young Amy. Mmmmmm!












nice haircut

OMG. I think I saw a body roll.

Quoted from "swinginstyle"
ah hip hop lindy, a dance form that should have been banned immediately after conception

Baby Dance Murderer.

I will go forward and agree with Damon about Atalanta.. but add that she is still fine today... even if any pictures I see of her seem to involve her butt sticking out a lot.


BTW if anyone liked my Video I posted.. Ozone and Special K will be offering blues classes at the VFW hall on Harlem in Cicero...

Please.. make no excuses for your butt, it isn't a bad thing :P

Note this comment is in no way representative of the Blues community, appreciation for Atalanta's butt comes only from personal choice and is not taught on the national blues scene

I don't know about you, but I've been to at least one "appreciate Atalanta's butt" class.

Disagree. I think it was/is important to show that partner dance concepts are adaptable to various contexts, and that lindy isn't just some dead art form we resurrected to preserve in amber.

That said, "lindy hip hop" as a recognized style was a bit flash-in-the-pan. :)

(Also, that clip shows that Damon rocks the hotness, even well outside the blues genre.)

I don't really think of it as lindy hop, nearly as much as a lindy base for improvisation. I always preferred the term Hep-Hop or Street-Hop.

The truth is that during that time WCS hadn't really gotten into hip-hop, what they are doing to it now, is in a lot ways a more refined version of what we were doing 8-10 years ago.

Quoted from "Atalanta"
Ahem.

This shout-out goes to all those who think Damon is, was, and will always be some kind of uptight pendantic purist. 8)

Pointy toes not pointy words! Pointy words are mouth turds.

Oh, there were just a lot of pointy toes in that clip. Also, it is my favorite quote from Stick It! - which btw is an awesome movie.

Quoted from "Boosh!"
I... nevermind.

Yay blues dancing!

Thank you.
