shanmonster: (Dance Monkey Dance!)
Today's clip features an interesting bit of fusion: Lindy Hip Hop. Yes, it's a mix of swing dancing and hip hop, and it's damned nifty. I like that it's two guys dancing, and I also like that there's no appreciable leader/follower. They switch from one role to the other effortlessly.

Enjoy!

That style of dance is sooo much fun. I tend towards more lindy with a little hip hop, rather than the other way around. The nice thing about lindy in general is that in a lot of scenes, gender is really a non-issue. men and women switch off who leads sometimes, and you frequently see a lot of people dancing the "opposite" role from "normal". It's an awesome and flexible scene, and style of dance.

It looks like great fun. I have zilch in the way of partner dancing experience. Heck, I didn't even go to school dances as a kid.

Hi, just wanted to say I found you through a poster at the Belly Dancing group, and added you because you seem extremely interesting and the type of person I'd like to learn more about. :) My LJ is pretty dead these days - I do most of my journaling, such as it is, through my photography. If you're interested, I can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79194606@N00/.
