My Favorite Performances from the 2011 International Lindy Hop Championships (video)

Posted on September 3, 2011 by

  So this year I was unfortunately (for very good reasons), unable to attend the International Lindy Hop Championships in Washington DC a couple weeks ago.  Lots of my friends were there attending and competing, so it killed me a little not going.  But luckily all of the competition and performance footage is online, due…

Jabbawockeez on the Vegas Strip: Making Incredible “MUS.I.C” with their Bodies (review)

Posted on August 31, 2011 by

On Sunday night, I finally got to see the Jabbawockeez live dance show "MUS.I.C" in Las Vegas. My mind is still kind of blown. The Jabbawockeez are a hip-hop dance crew that has elevated to craft into something beyond the artform. Their central conceit is that they always dance wearing white masks and identical outfits. …

100 Years of London Fashion and Dance (video)

Posted on August 30, 2011 by

  I kind of love this video "100 Years / Style East London", an ad for a new shopping center in London, that showcases fashion and dancing from the 1910s to today.  Those transitions between shots, mixing up all the different outfits, was really well done! Directed by Jake Lunt with The Viral Factory.  Who…

  I'm beyond myself excited about seeing the incredible Jabbawockeez dance crew's show in Las Vegas this weekend, courtesy of my awesome cousin Zan. They are one of my favorite hip-hop crews in the world, a group that has elevated the art in new directions and to a massive audience. And all of that while…

LXD S3Ep4 “Can’t Dance”: Elliott gets his shoes / mojo back (video)

Posted on August 25, 2011 by

After last week's fairly boring episode, this week's LXD episode "Can''t Dance" (series 3, episode 4) comes back with a light and entertaining romp through a tailor's workshop. It's got great energy, silliness, and joy in the dancing. I loved it. Harry Shum, Jr. is just always a pleasure to watch. Check it out here.

Yehoodi’s “Beaver Lodge” Ep 1 is online: where the lindy ladies get their say!

Posted on August 24, 2011 by

Last week, the lindy boys got to have their fun on the "Sausage Fest" podcast, episode one.  Now its the ladies' turn with episode one of "Beaver Lodge"! This is a bawdy, probably NSFW, gabfest where the lindy ladies get to talk about whatever they want, dance related or otherwise. This show features our host…

My Quaker-inspired Solo Dance Piece “The Message” (video)

Posted on August 22, 2011November 9, 2022 by

Yesterday at San Francisco Quaker Meeting, after the morning worship, I performed for the first time publicly my solo dance piece “The Message” before an audience of about 30 people. This is a personal piece that comes out of my experience at Quaker Meeting for Worship, particularly what Quakers refer to as “sharing a message”…

LXD S3Ep3 “The Forbidden” : Flamenco, the forgetten street dance (video)

Posted on August 18, 2011 by

Ah, LXD, you tease.  You had me all sucked in with your two excellent opening episodes of Season Three. And then you give me this weak, boring, illogical episode three, "The Forbidden." First off, the dancing.  It's Flamenco.  Flamenco, for gawd's sake.  I mean, I know that flamenco is a bad ass dance, a street…

The LXD Season 3 Opens: Bollywood & Scary Clowns Locking FTW! (video)

Posted on August 16, 2011 by

As my readers know, I have had strong reservations about the LXD dance web-series for the past couple of seasons.  For the most part, it has been bursts of inspired dance sequences nearly ruined by hackneyed plots, bad dialogue, and stilted acting.  So I have been somewhat nervously waiting for season three to come out….
