Yehoodi Closing after 25 Years!

Posted on June 17, 2023June 17, 2023 by

This week I announced to the world that Yehoodi.com was closing after 25 years of service to the Lindy Hop community. It was a bittersweet announcement.

What the In-person ILHC 2022 Was Like

Posted on June 1, 2022June 19, 2022 by

Last Friday, Manu and I walked into an elegant, empty ballroom in Times Square, NYC. “You know where we are, right?” Manu asks me. “The Edison Ballroom?” I reply. “Naw, dude. This is the Supper Club.” I stop in my tracks as it hits me where I’m standing. We’re in the $%^&ing Supper Club! For…

[Cross posted to Yehoodi.com] Earlier this month, one of the original Yehoodites, Anne Bernstein, (aka “Caledonia” on the message boards) passed away, after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Anne was a Brooklyn-based lindy hopper, cartoonist, and television writer.  I only knew Anne Bernstein a little. Anne was part of the mob of lindy hop…

Lindy in the Park: Free Swing Dancing in Golden Gate Park since 1996

Posted on February 13, 2011 by

I had a fantastic time today at "Lindy in the Park," a weekly outdoor swing dance that happens every Sunday afternoon in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.  A mainstay of the Bay Area lindy scene since 1996, Lindy in the Park is a great public outreach for the dance, since it attracts hundreds of passersby,…

Posted on January 20, 2011 by

  Check out this beautiful and flawless lindy hop performance by Dax Hock and Sarah Breck on the CBS dance show "Live to Dance."  I haven't been watching the show, so I don't know what injury the judges are referring to, but they looked damn sweet.  And the music choice I thought was perfect —…

Lindy Hoppers Dax and Sarah on New Dance Reality Show “Live To Dance”

Posted on January 6, 2011 by

  I suppose I should be excited about this new dance reality show "Live to Dance," but the promos and brief videos I've seen are so saccharine-filled fluff that it hurts my brain.  Bright lights! Standing ovations! Gushing judges! ZOMG! Paula Abdul! That said, I'm very excited to see Dax Hock and Sarah Breck on…

Posted on December 21, 2010 by

On Sunday, 80-some lindy hoppers gathered for a "lindy bomb" of the Nostalgia Subway Train that runs during the holidays on the F Train line. It was an incredible day of dancing, great music, and random New York weirdness. At about 12:30, a bunch of us lindy hoppers were gathered at the 2nd Avenue Subway…
