Opps, sorry for taking so long to get back. I had forgotten I posted those pics until just now when I was downloading some other pics and saw them in my folder.
YES, it is Rick Springfield.
I wish my friend had gotten pics of what she called…

Maybe this doesn't count, since I didn't experience this encounter first hand; but here's my story, with a little twist.
On Saturday December 5th, I was out of town DJing when I received a text message from a pal of mine about a "celebrity" who…

I quickly read over this thread; and perhaps it was by doing so in haste that caused what I am about to say to "jump out" at me . . .
I like to think of "Lindy Hop Swing Dancing" as the practice of a vintage swing dance style; much like "Civil…

The article above is dated March 1931. Though it probably doesn't add anything to the "who named what when" question, an article in the "Kansas City Call" dated July 10, 1931 mentions the the "new" Lindy Hop dance. It was going to be demonstrated…

A post above may have answered a question I once asked on another thread, which was:
For those with second wave tickets, (NO workshops/NO Thursday Night dance/NO Live sunday Show) when do our evenings begin?
To be more specific, are we…

Norma Miller needs a ride to the airport?
Uh, I would think one dance with Norma Miller would easily be worth the cost of a reserved private sedan ride to the airport. If nobody else jumps on that opportunity you let me know.

I would gladly forego deodorant AND build my wardrobe from the leftovers of a "well picked through" thrift store sale; if that is what it would take to keep me from . . .

Just looked at the latest schedule. Here is a question regarding those of us with a "second wave" ticket, bought during the first "re-opening of registrations" after the original sell-out. A ticket that (as I understand it) does not include the…

Fiddletree and Roxi both made points that boil down to:
"Just cause you're good don't mean you're a pro; and just cause you're a pro don't mean you're good."
I think, strictly speaking, the economic answers are more to the point.

I didn't get this from Google, but here is a little something from Kansas City: July 10, 1931, making it clearly of "first generation" vintage.
I wonder: Who is this "Bennie Moten" of whom they speak?

Turned 53 in July. I have two regular dance pals that I dance with at least twice a week. You would have to add both of their ages together to roughly approximate mine.
I would love it if more women my own age were Lindy Hoppers, but there just…
