Born too late. Bald too early. Shame about the quiff, but those rockin' jumpin' swingin' rhythms are still beating away inside me
As well as Lindy Hop we've been learning Collegiate Shag. This is probably my favourite style at right now. Not many dancers in the area at the moment but it seems to be starting a resurgence. Take a look it's a killer dance :)There's more talent in this single video clip than in the history of Xfactor, pop idol and all the other bloody rubish that passes itself off a talent shows.You've got Cab Calloway and his Orchestra singing and playing Jumpin Jive, with Fayard and Harold Nicholas (The Nicholas Brothers) performing the greatest tap routine of all time. This routine is simply incredible, Watch out for the big finish it made me wince.
"OK Ok enough of this old stuff", I hear you say!So let's get a bit more uptodate with some classic rockabilly
Next Up is Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. Enough said!
