ILHC 2011 - Classic Lindy - Skye Humphries & Frida Segerdahl - 1st Place

Perfection..❤

Dannnng! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Fun show. Quick and energetic. Thank you Doc A for the recomend.

Not only are Skye and Frida my favorite lindy hop couple of all time…they are excellent teachers and lovely human beings. I remember dancing with Skye when I was a beginner and had no idea who he even was. I had only been dancing for three months, and a few cats’ corner phony rockstars snubbed me…not Skye. He was and has always been a class act who makes all levels of dancers feel good about themselves. The embodiment of all Frankie Manning stood for. And Frida is just as kind. Okay, enough gushing and back to the show…

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this. If I'm feeling a bit down it instantly makes me smile.

My all time favorite Lindy Hop duo!

so original, so energetic, beautifully executed, wow

In hindsight, this was the modern golden years of Lindy. This era was full of unstoppable powerhouse competitors, the start of easily accessible and sharing of Lindy hop videos, information and workshops, there were more local workshops popping up everywhere and the instruction could very well easily have been from one or many of those powerhouse competitors. Inspiration was at a all time high. This era was unforgettable. You can really tell when you re watch these older videos, the crowd just goes insane in a very real, primal way.

simply AMAZING...

I will never not be in love with this video

awesome work!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god WANT

it looks like the song they used is a shortened version of the full song. Anyone know where I can get the exact version they used? or did they edit the song themselves?

what the fuck I'm dying this is so good

What's the name of this song? 

Best time ever Lindy dancing in Long Beach Ca, at The Corral 1952-1956

damn
far too cool.

just so much fun going on here....I would love to dance with Frida, she's a favorite.  

I cannot watch this without a giant smile stretching across my face. This is brilliant! SO fun to watch! 

very good, enjoyed watching !!!!

These two are just great. Look great, dance great...love them!

Skye Humphries: Triple stepping like a boss.

Wham! (Re-Bop-Boom-Bang) Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra, 1939

Oh Skye Humphires... *sigh* But seriously, these two are just... amazing. My swing idols.

omg thank you haha.. been trying to figure that out forever lol

Practice, practice, practice, and lots of natural talent and you see the results, Thank you for expressing and sharing your talent. Rob From Canada

Love these guys. My favorite dancers of all time. I've had the wonderful oppurtunity of meeting them in person. They're lessons did more for my dancing than anything anyone has ever taught me.

@Brenboy01 I'm entirely not surprised. They don't even have to try to be the best now. Bastards. (and I say that with love and admiration, in case people can't tell)

Textbook Lindy, ladies and gentlemen. Textbook Lindy.

I heard they finished choreographing this 40min before this performance. Thats absolutely incredible.

so very tasty

@ccarlay The song is called "Wham (Re-Bop-Boom-Bam)" by Teddy Wilson. I've downloaded it recently :)

Ah - this is what I loooove about dance! The freedom to have fun and express yourself! Great performance!
