This past weekend was Rochester's eighth annual Steven and Virginie Lindy Hop workshop. Although I sat out for a lot of the classes, I do have to say Steven got me excited about dancing again.
Saturday evening was a great 45-minute/hour discussion time with Steven, when we got to pick his brain about the past, present and future of Lindy Hop. It was quite enlightening. Among other things, he finally cleared up the Great Misconception for me: He and Erin Stevens didn’t travel to New York to find and learn from Frankie Manning – they went looking Al Minns.
It was also the best party ever at the Lindy Compound. If Lindy Hop events were that energetic, that exciting, and that LOUD all the time, I would never do anything else with my time.
