[@ColoradoSwingnut]

Max and Annie killed everyone... unbelievable creativity that just blows me away every time I see them. Kudos... they just leave me wanting for more words... just wow!

[@Bossa57]

This is the best performance I've seen in a long time,pure energy and rhythm thats overwhelming, all the couples were fantastic and the best part is they're maintaining a legacy when it comes to American dance and culture...

[@karenturman]

This was the best thing I've ever seen. Love Todd and Jo, Skye and Naomi and Kevin and Carla--all dancing together again. So inspiring.

[@NapalmPuppet]

At the end of the start dance the way the girl flicks her leg out after the spin. Gave me a huge smile. Just awseome! Lindy hop is now my new favourite thing.

[@roywlogan]

Oh how I wish I could download all those moves into my head.

[@missheath000]

Their air is just redonkulous. I have yet to see anything like it. It's intricate, clean and creative like every time.

[@barlin07]

they're so disgustingly talented. so epic. Can you imagine how crazy it'd be to see this in person?? The energy in the room must have been off the charts! thanks for sharing!!

[@RobertJFuller]

This is great fun to watch and everyone is fantastic but Max & Annie are really something special (as always!).

[@adahe739]

@ArJa2803 Don't know why she didn't come to ILHC this year, but saw her at Herräng and she is still dancing and teaching. Not injured or pregnant. As brilliant and funny as always.

[@Kujakuseki01]

My favorite competition. Should have more views.

[@FantasticFabio]

What I like about, people dancing to swing music,in whatever fashion, is that they seem to simply enjoy themselves doing it, getting fully lost in the movement, living for the moment, no compromises! I know this is much harder than it looks, had traditional ballroom lessons myself, but I'm so gonna try this next week! =D

[@rhombus0ne]

I have no words for how amazing this is. Beautiful, awesome, incredible! What an inspiration for young dancers like me... YOU GUYS KILLED IT! :) Todd+Jo and Max+Annie stole my heart, but everyone was smashing. (and thanks a million for uploading, so fast too.) ps. Todd should get some oxford baggies... he's made for 'em!

[@GargoylGirl]

COUPLE AT 6:00 - WE NOW KNOW WHAT SPIDERMAN DOES FOR FUN.... those legs be flying! Then couple after - INSANE. STAHP! I love it....replay, replay, replay, replay....

[@freddiekarlbom]

This must be one of the best lindy finals ever. I screamed out loud several times.

[@MarkCalkins1]

@nrolinger Right on! I enjoyed watching them dance together again. They looked really sharp.

[@krishnaramesh]

amazing ...

[@LeeFreemanAugie]

Thank God they had Jonathan playing!! That was unbelievable!!

[@PeriodinstrumentfaN]

Brilliant Sprezzatura and Immortal Improvisations !!! ... i was smiling the entire time ... :D ♥

[@hRs1337]

hahahaha LOVE the first part where max and annie tries to mimic the shilouettes of the ILHC-logo on the floor :D it cracked me up ^^

[@Kujakuseki01]

Miker and Nikki really brought it. Awesome stuff.

[@RicktheTapDancer]

So classy!!! You are all beautiful!!!

[@stso0000]

This is eff'ing awesome!

[@092109ful]

I love how in the beginning the couple tries to match the silhouettes on the floor.:) funny.

[@followerdvidb]

6:16 was AWESOME!

[@goreJessvideos]

I want to do this! Looks like so much fun:D

[@jessting]

I love the couple with the really really tall guy...HE'S GOT SO MUCH FLAVA~!!!!!!^_^

[@momusmomus]

awee-------sommme!!

[@sbbbjm]

i love that naomi and skye were the only ones really social dancing and they still held their own if not better than some of the other couples that had little patterns.

[@Fuliginosus]

The stunt at 6:17 looks like magic!

[@Bossa57]

Gotta give it to the tall guy in the black pants and the blond,they seemed to be the most polished and their presence made an impact...

[@ColoradoSwingnut]

@DrPracticleHat It's Swing baby! :) (genre of jazz music made famous in the US during the 1920's-1940's --> see Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Roy Eldridge, Gene Krupa, Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Artie Shaw, etc. etc. etc.)

[@1971SuperLead]

@mnbv4184 That's Max Pitruzzella & Annie Trudeau. They are my favorite couple.

[@JacobLA]

@SVTKooks Their first time out is around 3:23

[@RyanAnderson0]

I wasn't arguing that point, I just wanted to let you know that the grinding of today existed in some fashion back then.

[@TheILHC]

@Wymorej The competitions this year will be held at the Renaissance Capital View just outside of Washington, DC. Visit ILHC.com for more info

[@nocount1]

Can't stop replaying 6:18-6:23---!!!!!!!!!!

[@SpeegBJ]

Dance classes for men should be required in high school along with math and history. No matter how bad or good they become, they'll have that sensibility that comes with it all. Kudos to these guys especially dancing today.

[@swingstyle99]

I did a double take on minute 6!

[@93MickyD2]

The bearded fellow and the red-haired beauty were my favourite couple.

[@RyanAnderson0]

They had dancing that was grinding too...they just did that in house parties, you know, in private.

[@Bossa57]

How do you pick a winner? Wow, tough job for a judge because these couples are all on their game...

[@Kujakuseki01]

@ColoradoSwingnut ...? Oh, you're serious. No, it is in fact Skye Homefries and not Daniel Newsome.

[@DrPracticleHat]

@ColoradoSwingnut ah, I knew it was jazzish, but I didn't know what it's actual name, cheers.

[@ArJa2803]

Hi - that was one of the most impressive Gigs I`ve seen by Max Pitruzella - Respect! Nevertheless, I`m still interested to know why Frida Segerdahl was not there. Has she finished her career? Does anybody know more ?

[@HaloofCurls]

Back when dancing was less about sex and more about FUN.

[@powermezzo]

Kevin and Carla. This made me kinda miss it. Seriously, though. How do you pick a winner?! Just... wow!

[@ColoradoSwingnut]

@ArJa2803 That's not Skye - that's Dan Newsome

[@GargoylGirl]

THIS IS THE SHIZZLE. NEW DANCE TO DO = SOLD!

[@Pam0284]

Oh. Emm. Gee. !

[@1swinginginair]

The dancing rocked! But, out of all the songs, why that one? It would have been great for a balboa battle, but I didn't feel that it was in-your-face enough for a lindy hop battle...

[@Kujakuseki01]

7:40. Best part.

[@Hamdenklamme]

Why am i watching this ...

[@Moopse101]

awsooommeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@SpeegBJ]

true

[@dukekiduke]

@ColoradoSwingnut Man, that's Skye Humphries for sure. ;)

[@ArJa2803]

Hey- Whats about Frida Segerdahl ?? Miss her, because I think she is one of the best social dancers in the world . I thought I` ve seen her partner Sky Humphries. Why does he dance without Frida ? Is she ill, injured, pregnant or vwhat ?

[@SVTKooks]

@perrybre Could you point out at what time Todd and Jo were, I am un familiar with all of their names

[@AgnesHjelm]

Who won? Who else placed?

[@ColoradoSwingnut]

@dukekiduke poor Dan, when will this ever end for him.... ;)

[@CarlaHeiney]

@sbbbjm hardly the only ones social dancing // many were and that says a lot! Also, ummm, last I checked, jazz routines are not social dancing, just saying. That being said, everyone was awesome out there too : )

[@DrPracticleHat]

exactly what genre of music is this?

[@Wymorej]

where are these competitions at?

[@BelCanto1410]

who is winners???? :)

[@bateauivre5146]

which are the names of the couple in 3.34?

[@dogperson432]

Todd Yannacone and Jo Hoffberg

[@SpeegBJ]

That's what I like to see. Couple at 3:06 looses gal's earring on the dance floor. Yahoooo.

[@HaloofCurls]

Yeah, but nowadays the kind of dancing that is popular is all about simulated sex, even if you're dancing alone, especially for girls. There's no art to it.

[@itsthewoo]

Hooooooooooooooooly crap.

[@buitrago1979]

GAY!!
