A few snaps from ILHC. Actual thoughts later, but for right now a) I’m hella inspired, and b) Sweden must breed really tall lindy leads.
lovely.
Ooooh I like this routine. I love the variations and jazz dancing. You can tell they practice their solo work a lot. I love it.
Oh, how I miss being able to press a button and being transported to a magical place full of dancers and live music.
:3
Okay yeah I know this is a little over the top ridiculously cliche with the zoot suit and all that, but at around 1:20 Goofy starts going 20’s Charleston which I find RATHER entertaining.
Worth taking video of :)
Live from Camp Hollywood!
Saw this young kid here at CH this year, and this kid is truly inspiring.
His spirit is just so unabashedly jitterbug — I HAD to get a picture.
Yes, it’s blurry. IT’S HARD TO GET A CLEAR PICTURE WHEN YOU’RE CREEPING ON PEOPLE WHILE THEY’RE DANCING OKAY :3
Also Minn Vo was was trying to talk to me while I was busy being creeping on this couple. Nice job Melissa, you totally don’t come off as a weirdo now.
BUT LOOKIT THOSE MOVES!
Here is my latest tumblr hopper project! (I was trying to make sure I completed it before Camp Hollywood.)
Special Thank You to:
sarahsellaphix, for being the talented, creative artist she is and providing these designs for us
My coworker, who will probably never read this, for lending me her scissors, providing her opinions on size, for listening to me rant about life, and for occasionally providing me with Skittles during this laborious process
My printer, for cooperating with me in printing out these designs
Staples, for having labels big enough for me to attempt this project
The tumblr hoppers! Duh. None of this would be possible or would even matter without you guys.

Terms and Conditions of the Tumblr Hopper Stickers:
I will be handing these out at Camp Hollywood for any tumblr hoppers attending.
I will probably be the one wearing a “reblog all the strom” sticker.
Or if you see someone else with a sticker, they should be able to direct you to me.
At the moment, I have about a dozen of each design, so supply is limited.
Any tumblr hoppers who are not local and would like to receive some stickers, please send me a message and I will do my best to work something out. (international dancers included!)
I hope you guys like ‘em :3
I get to spend five straight swing-dancing with this lovely married couple at Camp Hollywood!
This weekend will be so exhausting and bold!

This is why Walter is one of my favorite leads. He is seriously so much fun. He came back from Beantown inspired, truly.
What a cute picture! I love Walter’s bowtie and the amazing look on his face that just tells you how much he’s rockin’ it.
Man, everyone is this picture looks like they are just having the most epic time.
Thanks for sharing!
