Hey!
It's been a long time since we had a free Lindy class & it's a pity many of you didn't turn up.
As usual, a large crowd came to watch the performance & learn the dance.
Vocal Support
And if you think we danced to music from a CD, you are dead wrong. Lindy Hopper turned vocalist, Ms Joanna Dong, who also contested in the first Singapore Idol, was on stage with her Broken Orange Fence Band. Starting with the swinging Chinese-English number "Wo Yao Ni De Ai" (I Want Your Love), and following up with other favourites like L-O-V-E, Night & Day, their appearance was a pleasant surprise for jazz listeners too.
A Panacea?
I planned to leave after the first set. But when the swing bug bites you, your only cure is to dance.
It was a good workout. It made me worn out & happy. Good for insomniacs like me.
So if you have insomnia, take the Lindy Hop 3 times a day with lots of water. It is fully legal. No physician's prescription needed.
To My Good Old Frens
It's a pity I can't catch up with old friends like Han, Anarchy, Instantoats, BL, 2LeftFeet, etc. Hope u r all still swinging & to c u soon. I may not be around much anymore but my heart is always with all you Lindy Hoppers!
Enjoy your birthday party at Harry's Boat Quay? tonite (Heard from Ajantis)!
Happy birthday to .. oops ... whoever it may be. :-P

Shake your booty under the stars! And it doesn’t matter if you have never danced before because this is your chance to learn how. Before you know it, you’ll be grooving away with everyone else!
First, begin your outdoor da:ns festival experience by joining us at our street latin dance jam at the opening dance party. Next, look forward to a different dance featured at each session. Held over two weekends during the festival, many of these sessions will feature a demonstration by professional instructors and dancers, and you’ll get to learn and try out the basic steps. Then it’s all about having fun and letting your hair down to fabulous music.
