Brooklyn Bombshells going to Intl Lindy Hop Championships in DC in August!

Posted on July 15, 2008 by

Dancers Before The Parade
I’ve neglected to mention that I’m going to be competing at the International Lindy Hop Championships this August in DC.  Myself, along with a group of 15 other dancers, will be doing a more competition-friendly version of this award-winning performance at ILHC!  We’ll be entering in the Cabaret Division, where a lot of the wackier more eclectic performances take place (i.e. hip-hop, disco, african dance, etc).

I’m not sure exactly why I’m doing this. Perhaps because my friend Lilieblue is the choreographer.  Or maybe it’s because I was already planning on going to ILHC.  Or maybe because I’m just a big ham.

The competition at ILHC is expected to be fierce, so winning is not really our goal. I’m not even sure how they judge the cabaret division.  I just want us to do a bad ass, crowd-pleasing performance.

    So you’re on at 1 AM? And are there tickets for a peanut gallery?

    Yeah I’m not crazy about how late this is.
    I’ll see about getting cheap seats for those taht want to just watch. Unlikely, I think.
