That thread brings out a lot of the problems I have with teams. Everyone is so concerned about the perfect timing, the perfect choreography, costumes, etc. etc. and then they tell you to have energy. Sorry, but my energy is sucked away by everything I'm supposed to be for the performance.
If I had to pick which to watch, a performance by Hop Skip and a Jump where everyone is perfectly in sync or a performance by MadDog or Silver Shadows I'd pick the latter two any day.

Amen. Although, I saw a Hop Swing and a Jump routine recently on YouTube that actually had some rawness. :o

That's hard to imagine! [Emoticon not found]
[Emoticon not found] I know! Hehe, here's the one I was thinking of. Maybe it's more energized than raw. But seriously, don't you think this is better than usual for them?
You and I are on the level on this POP... nice to see someone else who has the same views
alright. that rainbow toss to the guy behind you has to be one of the coolest things i've seen in a while.
Yeah that's a sweet trick... saw that 3 years ago and it never gets old
T_roach:[Emoticon not found] I know! Hehe, here's the one I was thinking of. Maybe it's more energized than raw. But seriously, don't you think this is better than usual for them?
I've seen a number of videos of that specific performance and I think that one is probably the best one of them. Still, it's not raw, like you said. [Emoticon not found]
I do understand though that not everyone can be raw and pull it off. So either you're raw and kick everyone's butt without perfect timing, etc. or you are not raw and you have to be perfect. I'd pick raw any day!
popthestack:I'd pick raw any day!
is that because your timing sucks?
i think i smell a good fight coming on!
I think Traci is just aching for the good ol' days of forum fighting.
i just want something exciting to happen, as my life at the moment is quite frustrating. but i have a blog for ranting, if you care. and most of you don't, or shouldn't, if you do.
Well, what are *you* waiting for?
I don't know. Something amazing, I guess.
Me too, kid.
bobthecow:popthestack:I'd pick raw any day!
is that because your timing sucks?
lol! Let's not make this personal! haha
Raw and perfect timing is pretty sweet too.

You better believe it! haha
I wish...
Don't forget Whitey's and The Hot Shots
Oh of course, musn't forget them...
Word.. word.. those groups are more in a Legend Hall Of Fame status where as these new ones are soon to be... know what I'm saying... Hey is there a Lindy Hop Hall of Fame.. If there isn't, there should be
We could start one.
First inductee: popthestack.
Oh wait, that'd be blasphemy.
I believe you could be right.. I don't doubt that a few years from now you will be the next Andy reid.. or possibly a mix between Andy and Skye
Boogaloo:I believe you could be right.. I don't doubt that a few years from now you will be the next Andy reid.. or possibly a mix between Andy and Skye
I was thinking more of a bix between Andy, Skye, and some guy named Ron.
Hmmm... that is also very possible
popthestack:I was thinking more of a bix between ...
A bix? That's pretty hard core man.
Buzz:popthestack:I was thinking more of a bix between ...
A bix? That's pretty hard core man.
You know you're not hard core unless you live hard core...
any other lessons from the school of rock?
Stick it to the man!
Unless you happen to be the man...
eh, stick it to the man anyway.
Something for Buzz & BTC to work on [Emoticon not found]
lol... that was awesome. Incidentally, whoever the dude in the grey shirt was, he has incredible connection (I know, I know... I need to learn the names of more of the Lindy bigshots). We should get him to come teach workshops sometime.
I know his name is Thomas -- his crank turns are crazy amazing too! Max is even more amazing w/ a girl.
I've got some new clips uploaded. Boo should be interested in the HMB clips.
This is HAWT

Esp. their swing out from side by side.
t_roach:Esp. their swing out from side by side.
I see one swingout from side by side. Are there more I'm missing? The only one I see is at 1:13 into the clip.
Exactly [Emoticon not found]
Awesome clip.
I mentioned the lack of Hollywood style sugar pushes:
Here's some thanks to Peter Loggins and YouTube.com
that was an awesome clip
Be sure to watch all of "twobarbreak"'s videos and read any comments he makes. Peter Loggins is one of the great American Jazz Dance historians of our time, and an AMAZING dancer to boot.
Two SWEET videos of Skye and Frida:
HA!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just shouted out loud during the second one, and I'm the only person in my room!
I still totally think that Logan Britt and Freda should get together and collaborate. I think they're like lost cousins.

Frida man, Frida, not Freda.
Just don't ask me to spell or say her last name. [Emoticon not found]
