Over on Swungover, Bobby ventures once more into the breach of dance analogies by busting them all out. They're all fun, but I thought I'd put this one in context.
The Spotlight On the other side, these are the dances where the leader gets an electric follower setting everything around them on fire. A smart leader just takes a back seat, becomes the dancing equivalent of a hype-man, and lets the magic happen. A few will understand exactly what I mean when I say “Nina Gilkenson Blue Dress Dance.”
He's referring to Nina dancing with Marty Klempner in the Cats' Corner Division (Champions Strictly Lindy Hop) at The 2007 American Lindy Hop Championships. And yes, they won.
I remember riding back down to DC with Naomi Uyama, which is about a 7-8 drive from Stamford, CT. Every once in awhile, no matter where we were in our conversation, we would just suddenly stop and say something like , "Damn, that Blue Dress Dance was amazing." Over and over again, the whole way down.
