25.01.2013 by Chris

If you've liked Kevin St. Laurent's tutorial for the Hat Trick Tranky Doo by Tips & Tops from last week then you will also dig this post!

In the meantime I namely found out that Tips & Tops published another Hat Trick tutorial back in 2010 and both of them – Shesha Marvin & Kevin St. Laurent – are teaching in these clips.

Thanks again Kevin & Shesha for publishing these great tutorials!

Hat Trick Tranky Doo Tutorial

18.01.2013 by Chris

Kevin St. Laurent

It's Friday and sometimes I like to feature a random video clip on YouTube.

Today, I would like to share with you an awesome series of 11 videos created by Kevin St. Laurent!

Hat Trick Tranky Doo by Tips & Tops

This choreography was created by Tips (aka Kevin St. Laurent) and Tops (aka Shesha Marvin) as an add on to the famous Tranky Doo.

Kevin shares this tutorial with everyone for free (!), so you can learn and perform it where ever you want.

There's a lot of work involved, first to create such a choreography and then to produce a whole series of video clips.

So please, share these videos, leave a comment on Kevin's YouTube Channel and say thank you! 🙂

Thank you Kevin & Shesha!

Performance

And here is a performance from Swing Brother Swing Festival in Bologna, Italy 2011:

30 Week Lindy Hop Challenge: That Move You Love

09.11.2012 by Chris

Every Friday for thirty weeks, I will write about a topic from the list of the
“30 Week Lindy Hop Challenge“.

Let's talk about moves.

Week #18: Texas Tommy

I like the Texas Tommy and all the variations that use the concept of bringing the follow's arm behind her back and creating fluent movements.

It takes some time and practice especially to get this flow.

“Texas Tommy Yo-Yo”

“Texas Tommy Yo-Yo” by Kevin St. Laurent & Jo Hoffberg. The quality of this clip is horrible, but you get the idea of the variations I'm talking about.
