ILHC 2009 - Pro Strictly Lindy - Finals - Spolights 2/2

[@ClydeWright]

Absolutely my favorite moment of ILHC is near the end too. Holy crap, such incredible dancing.

[@brettzforeman]

Max's sense of humor is something else. That stunt he pulled between 3:12 and 3:20 was hilarious. I love how Nick couldn't keep from laughing a bit even while he and Carla were beginning their first phrase.

[@Kujakuseki01]

Double turn. So fast it looks like a triple at first glance, though. I feel like a great deal of credit is due to the band for the incredible musicality of this competition. Not every band knows how to improv for dancers, and these guys -nailed- it.

[@Kujakuseki01]

Still my favorite competition video of all.

@sheshazam That obviously is not Alice Mei. It's Aurelia Lepine.

[@heather4him]

I'd like to see Bow-Tie guy and Brown-Outfit gal have a dance. Oh, and she with Juan, too. Both dance would be amazing, and she was not given enough time to shine. But those final swingouts just blew my mind... @Pam0284, you just described a couple of the leads! But if it is the guy with the green-shirted follower, then I'd like to see him dance with Sharon! A very classy dance would result!

[@a56567go]

loved the swing-out duel between Max&Annie vs Skye&Frida (part2 5:25). Where they got that incredible last minute burst of energy from, who knows.

[@NaptownStomp]

by Dan, do you mean skye and frida? Dan Newsome is not in this.... and the couple before max and annie are juan and sharon, they have been perfoming and competing together for a while now. Also, Kevin has been dancing with Jo for at least 3 years now... where have you been?

[@msshortysweets]

This is incredible!!

[@Nick3d1]

Love the swing out race at the end!

[@Anticbiotic]

So much brilliance in such a short timespan. But I really, really think first prize should have gone to Max & Annie - the level of power and musicality of their performance was so high up in the sky that...that I couldn't even see them. :)

[@rinthylab]

I love the clarinet from 2:17-2:24, and it seems like Skye instinctively hits that last note to send Frida into that triple turn. Also love how he kept turning to look at Max while doing swingouts at the end. This whole thing is full of awesome.

[@Dancefusion]

I love that Kevin pulled a backspin, glad he's mixing it up. Joe,nix nix on overdoing the choreography. Bitchin' fast spin Dan threw his partner in,but loosen up my friend and drop it. Nick and Carla killed it like usual, max's second go was great,he pulled out the new stuff. Gotta say I'm not a fan of Kevin's new partner,too steppy I don't know one of the couples that came on before max, but they are on to something they just need to tighten up P.S. Max's definately working Boogie Woogie

[@rhombus0ne]

haha, Max is an ANIMAL! :) that was glorious. so much fun! so beautiful! loved the end.

[@JoshuaMiller-CISSP]

I love that Laura danced her shoes off.

[@noafree3392]

The guy dancing at 1:35 looks like Simon from Misfits haha. great dancing

[@BrittBonshor]

that was awesome.

[@sbbbjm]

skye and frida took it.

[@sbbbjm]

@TheHornyBug i KNOW, max and annie are working so hard, but skye and frida look like they aren't breaking a sweat ha!

[@thunderon100]

i really didnt know humans could move their legs like that, HAHAHAHAHA man this was so funny thank you

[@Kujakuseki01]

YES!

[@rinthylab]

I stand corrected! Still great, even if I had to slow it down to .33x speed to be able to count ;)

[@pivchanskiy]

That's fuckin' awesome!

[@rhombus0ne]

@heather4him I loved her!! anyone know her name? her style was so fun

[@RckyMtnBikez]

Alice Mei

[@TheOshag]

@theawakener7 that's the strangest comment I've ever read

[@xsubst]

@chinesechicken89 Aurelia Lepine

[@Dancefusion]

You're correct about skye I apologize for that mistake. He was so cleaned up looking I didn't even recognize him. I am fully aware of Kevin and Carla's split that's old news. You're playing a semantics game when I say new partner would you prefer newest, current, most recent? It's all just phrasing. It was not and ignorant statement just misinterpreted. Thank you for the other couples name. I hope they keep at it and seek out some outside training, they have a great deal of potential.
