    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    I'm not an expert on it, but it looks like a transition from lindy to East Coast. The main dancers are doing lindy; the dancers in the background look more like they're doing East Coast. Most of the dancers are upright and some of them look like they lack enough tension in the connection to do a...

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    The first half (the group dance) is the Big Apple; the rest looks like lindy.

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    I would call this lindy at 1:23 and at 2:00. There are also some solo dancers doing some old jazz moves in a routine we now call the Big Apple at 1:12 and 1:38. I think I even saw the twist in there at 1:18. The rest of it looks like East Coast (jitterbug). I could be wrong, but I don't...

    Is the vintage crowd the curmudgeon crowd?

    Next time I visit my aunt in California I'll check out the Cicada Club. My FL friends can PM me if they're ever in Denver to visit a funky little place called the Mercury Cafe. Awesome dancing there.

    Is the vintage crowd the curmudgeon crowd?

    OK, kidding aside, I go out about once a week, which is a lot more than I entertain at home. I'd try the Cicada Club for the dancing if I lived close to it, assuming it has a nice clientele and good dance partners there. I'm a dancer, not a drinker. I can stay out until 11:00 now and then, but I...

    Is the vintage crowd the curmudgeon crowd?

    Pity us poor, dull people who talk to our friends and meet people without the excitement of shouting over noise, paying $6 for drinks, getting along on three hours' sleep or telling rude drunks to shove off. Not that there's anything wrong with that if it floats your boat.

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    That pretty much describes what was billed as lindy hop on DWTS. Most of the people on the show--judges included--didn't know the lindy hop from the turkey trot. Kim and David visited a lindy hop club and ended up doing a lot of Charleston with some aerials. That should have been the...

    I love art deco, but...

    Yeah, somebody must be willing to pay that if the posters are selling. Probably somebody with a lot of money decorating their daughter's room. Besides, you get a free random movie poster gift with it. And the shipping is free.

    'Whipped' by Our Wives?

    I read a post at another site from someone who said that his wife sews and makes "stunning outfits" for $15. :rolleyes:

    Tweed for a Wedding Suit?

    I have nothing against a tweed suit. But if you have a bad feeling about something, it's almost always best not to do it.

    Vintage: An act of conservation?

    Joie, there is a paper maker named Ray Tomasso (sp?) in Englewood. He takes cotton rags.

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    I never said nobody did lindy in the 50s. I'm sure people did it in the 90s to hip hop as well. My objection (one of them) is that lindy was made out to be a 50s rock-and-roll dance. As much as Goodman harps on doing a proper fox trot or waltz or Latin dance, I would have hoped he'd apply the...

    Watch Your Carriage, Madame! A Guide to Good Posture

    There was a period of several months after a car wreck a few years ago when the only comfortable position for me was ramrod straight. (Not that I recommend this means of improving posture.)

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    The roots of lindy go back to Africa. (Again, I'm repeating what Dan and Tiff said; I've never done any research myself.) I don't think they're saying that people were doing the lindy in the 1800s. :)
