I had a friend of mine take video of me during the Jack & Jill prelims at the San Luis Obispo Lindy Exchange. I'm letter A. :) My camera's memory card filled up just as I started dancing with the third guy, so it got cut off. :/ I didn't make it to finals, but I was an alternate for the finals. That's pretty damn good for it being my very first J& ( Read more... )

I was "jammed" three times this weekend! Basically, at swing dances they tend to throw jams for out-of-towners and birthday people, where basically everyone gets in a circle around the people who are getting jammed, and then those special people get to dance the entire song and get stolen by different people throughout the song. It's a lot of fun ( Read more... )

This past weekend was amazing. I drove down to Rohnert Park (a city near Santa Rosa) to my friend Spiro's house, and stayed at his place so we could go dancing in San Francisco all weekend. :) On Thursday I went swing dancing, then on Friday I went to a miracle fruit tasting party and then Friday Night Blues... both were amazing! Miracle fruit ( Read more... )

Here's the video of my performance at Midtown Stomp... I'm disappointed that I'm hardly in it. I was all the way over on the left side of the screen, and obviously the girl with the camera was too close to us, so she couldn't get us all in at the same time, and she didn't pan the view very often. :/ I was REALLY hoping to see myself do the ( Read more... )
