Isn’t it crazy how the Lindy Hop has stayed relevant to this day? It’s one of those strange grass roots dances that has never gone away. I was reading about it at http://todancing.blogspot.com/2009/06/dancing-lindy-hop.html and love how it went through so many decades and still remained to be near the top of the most popular dances.

Comment on Yes and… Lessons from Improv by Breanna

We played a slightly different version in my 6th grade music class, where the gesture associated with our name had to somehow be alliterative to the first letter in our name. So, being Breanna, my gesture was something like a ballerina twirl (Breanna-B-Ballerina).

I haven’t played the game in years and probably would never have thought to apply it in a jazz class setting. Thanks for such a great idea, Carl!

“Perhaps the most significant note in the video: wanting to be liked and admired can be an impediment to our creativity as dancers. ”

I agree on your statements regarding this. It’s one of the big problems I’m working on.

What’s funny is it’s not a problem in my writing, just my dancing. I guess its the competitive, social aspect of it that differs from the far more introverted art of writing.

Thanks for posting!

You know your declaration of showcase has all the rest of us as competitors knowing that we have to bring it (and good-naturedly saying things like “aw crap” under our breath). I’m excited to see what your time with Jo brings to ya’ll’s partnership!

Comment on Sacred Space – Dancing Alone by Carl

I recall reading some excerpts of her writing while I was in Montreal studying philosophy. One of my professors had known her and suggested I take a look into her discussions.

I don’t recall many specifics, although I could go back and turn up my notes or the excerpts themselves.

Thanks for the reminder, I’ll make a point to reread her works.
