Seattle seems to have it going on all year round. Here are videos from their just completed Killer Diller Weekend featuring Naomi Uyama and Skye Humphries. Vids courtesy of the omnipotent floridave1.
Solo Competition Slow Round
Solo Competition Fast Round
Not sure who won this, but it looks like Bobby Bonsey nailed it. Anyone out there know the results?
Harvest Moon Lindy Hop Finals
Congratulations to the winners Rebecka DecaVita and Emelie DecaVita all the way from Sweden. They killed this comp, which is especially impressive considering that the band was playing at about 300 bpm’s.
Odd, I feel like after all this time, especially in the 21st century, that there should be more women out there who specialize in leading rather than following. But I suppose that’s speculation for another blog post.
Performances
The DecaVita's were involved in recreations of the Congaroos, and Sister Kate reprised their ULHS Charleston performance. And Anna, Brenda, and Karissa performed a slightly different version of their daring performance from the Emerald City Blues Festival.
“Gimme a Pigfoot”
Finally here’s video of the outstanding Meschiya Lake with Glenn Crytzer and his Syncopators. Sounds like Glenn provided all the live music for this event including the contests. Good stuff.
