  1. „I would argue #Lindy Hop is crucial to understanding #Jazz. It is intimately connected to Jazz music–to its development, to its appeal, and to its popularity. The way that people made sense of Jazz music for at least 30 of its most crucial years is by #dancing. The dancing co-evolved with the music and I would argue the pinnacle of that evolution was reached in the Lindy Hop.“ - Skye Humphries

  2. Working on my #musicality, my "grammar structure" for dancing. The figures and stylings are my ever expanding vocabulary. Just acquiring a better understanding of the phrases in the #music and how to recognize and incorporate the different beats into my dancing. #swing #LindyHop #YolandaKingAuthor

  7. Today, at a swing social:

    Him: aren’t you exhausted from wearing a mask?
    Me: yes (thinking: mostly b/c ppl make such dumb remarks about it)
    Him: I think it’s part of your style. Do you wear it everywhere?
    Me: er?
    Him: like in bed? Do you wear it in bed? You should!
    Me: 👁️👄👁️

    I did ask if he was implying that I was probably quite ugly, but he said no.

  13. Schlagzeugerin Eva Klesse, Professorin in Hannover:
    " #Jazz war schon immer eine politische Musik. Jazz war schon immer eine Musik, die auf Missstände hingewiesen hat, die sich mit Ungerechtigkeiten auseinandergesetzt hat."

    "It didn’t matter whether they were white, black, green, yellow - we just looked at their feet: can they dance?" - Frankie Manning, *1914 „I'm a Lindyhopper, and I swing!“

  14. I'm DJing for Hot Jam (the local Lindy Hop social dance) tonight by myself for the first time—previously I've always been trading songs with another DJ. I don't get nerves when DJing for somewhere that requires the complicated mixing part, but at a place where I just have to play music, pause, play more music I've got the butterflies quite bad, probably because it's one of the tougher dance floors for lindy that I've ever seen. If you're in Atlanta, come out and learn to dance, there's a free lesson before hand and I'll be spinning some fun tunes (and would love some more friendly faces)!

  18. CW: Complaining

    At the Vietnam Lindy Exchange I wasn't the only one masking. Hell, I wasn't even the only White girl masking. I have pics and videos of myself dancing with other masked hotties.

    Yesterday at a social back in NL, I was immediately interrogated about my mask-wearing, by someone who has known me for a year and a half now and definitely should know better.

    I got so grumpy that I just left. Super tired anyway, but ya, that meant that I didn't have the energy to deal with the bs.

  19. That's what it looks like when you practice knee slaps and you somehow do it wrong. It's a hot, stining pain. Not very nice.
    So sieht das aus, wenn man #KneeSlaps übt und das Knie irgendwie falsch erwischt. Ist ein heißer, stechender Schmerz. Nicht so prickelnd. #swing #LindyHop #SoloJazz #tanzen #dancing #ChristineBroesenhuberAutorin

  20. POV: you’ve planned your trip around Friday socials, ppl have told you that they’ll be at the Friday socials, so you arrive at the Friday socials, only to find out that Friday socials were cancelled over a year ago and nobody bothered removing the recurring event from the calendar.

    Please somebody set me a fun challenge to cheer me up?

  21. Went to a Valentine’s Day themed lindy hop social today. Had tried to match my face mask with my outfit, and above by the theme.

    Some person: it must be so uncomfortable to wear a mask like that.
    Me: I prefer this over getting sick.
    Person : of course! You do you! Don’t worry, you don’t need to be ashamed of that!

    C’mon. Do I look like I’m ashamed of masking?

    Forgive the very sweaty bathroom selfie. It was a nice party and the band was excellent!

  31. Okay, another music question that is even more of a stretch:

    Does anyone have the album "Live At Pluckemin!" by "Harlem...One More Time" which I believe was only ever released on a private label LP?

    discogs.com/release/15260175-H

    Would you rip it and possibly throw it on the Internet Archive or just send it to me? If you don't have the ability, I would pay to help you have it professionally preserved. Please ask all your music nerd friends.

  32. Do I know anyone in the UK who, if I sent you £7.99 + shipping, would be willing to buy a rare LP off Discogs for me and either hold on to it until I can find someone to transport it to the US, or arrange for someone on your side of the pond to digitize it for me? If I buy it directly and ship it to the US the price of shipping is almost $50 USD... (Or even better, if you just love jazz and have the ability to rip vinyl yourself…)
