Balboa Group Performance by “Top Drawer” at ILHC 2010

11.09.2010 by Chris

Balboa is not really a show dance. Although there are some footages from movies and we can suppose, that these acts mostly were choreographed. Which means these have been show dances and not social dances.

Nowadays, Balboa still is mainly a social dance, even at the competitions.

From that point of view, it attracts attention to see a Balboa group perfomance (okay, spiced with some Charleston), especially if it's such a nice one as done by Top Drawer. Enjoy!

The dancers are: Marie Nahnfeldt, Nick Williams, Laura Keat, Jeremy Otth, Kate Hedin, Bobby White

Hellzapoppin, Then and Now

02.06.2010 by Chris

Frankie Manning would have been proud

This is simply amazing! I had the opportunity to see the new version live in NYC at Frankie95 last year and it still gives me the shivers when I watch the video now!
Enjoy!

The new version of the music is performed by the George Gee Swing Orchestra.
