Teaching Peabody at the American Lindy Hop Championships

October 25, 2007toOctober 28, 2007

ALHC LogoHard to believe that American Lindy Hop Championships (ALHC) will celebrate a decade of great dancing this year. Then again, it’s hard to believe our son Indy is 15 months old. That’s a lot of 5-6-7-8s. Anyway, we are thrilled to be back at ALHC this year and are excited to teach a Peabody workshop on Saturday from 5:45pm to 7:00pm. While we’ve got miles to go in our effort to introducing people to the fleet-footed bliss that is dancing Peabody, we are also amazed at how many people have gotten to know the dance over the past four years. Being invited to teach Peabody at ALHC represents a kind of milestone for us. We can’t wait!

American Lindy Hop Championships - 2004


At the 2004 American Lindy Hop Championships, we performed a combination of Peabody and ’20s Charleston dancing to Sammy Ulano’s rendition of Bourbon Street Parade, which took first place in the Fast Dance division.

American Lindy Hop Championships - 2000


At the 2000 American Lindy Hop Championships, we performed our blend of Lindy Hop and Rhythm Tap, what we call LindyHoofin’ to Slam Stewarts’ rendition of Moten Swing. While we were disqualified from the Cabaret division, the performance earned us a DQ award from Yehoodi.com, the website of New York’s Lindy Hop community.
