Here is Jamill taking Frankie Manning TikTok Duet Challenge. For Frankie's birthday this year, has invited you and everyone at home to Dance with Frankie. It's generously donated by the late Lance Benishek and with added Music by Jonathan Stout. Has Uganda Swing Kids representing on his own style with Frankie dance moves and am so proud of him because he just took 30 minutes to get this well. I hope more children will take the challenge until Frankie Manning birthday day which we are planning to have with all children at certain cool place. #DanceWithFrankie #FrankieManning #FrankieManningFoundation #FrankieMonth #worldlindyhopday #FrankieBirthday2021 #HappyBirthdayFrankie #Share #Like #Donate https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-okurut-george-and-family @Taw @time2swing @vintageglamourlife @rusty.frank @andrej_hermlin @snaileybailey @jenhodgebass @Ariandsimon @alpharhythmkings @awhite211 @lindyhopchamps @frankiemanningfoundatio @laswingdanceposse @jazzy_feet_solo @monasunshine @lindyhopchamps @miss_tammisavoy @tasha_b_va @swingtv_tr @blacklindyhf #ILHCjam #swingdanceuganda #lindy #Charleston #ilhc #ilhc2020 #swingdance #swingdancing #solojazz #swingout #lindyhoplife #InspireMeAfricaInitiative #heartofdanceafricarythms #SwingDanceUganda (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvheFxg6JB/?igshid=bwd3sy0xa934

Episode 36 is out today! I am thrilled to be joined by one of my most requested guests, Tena Morales-Armstrong. Tena is a renowned dancer, instructor, judge, choreographer, and organizer.  She has been a guiding figure for the global swing scene for over twenty years - from winning the inaugural American Lindy Hop Championships with her partner Carnell Pipkin in 1998, to her roles as co-founder of the International Lindy Hop Championships, co-organizer of Lindyfest and  Lone Star Championships, and architect of the International Swing Dance Championships and Houston Jazz Dance Festival.

Tena and I sat down in Rochester, NY during Stompology 2018 and talked about teaching hip-hop as a single mom, how a glimpse of tandem Charleston at the Glen Echo Ballroom inspired her to instantly dive headlong into the world of Lindy Hop, and how her eye for talent helped develop of some of today’s most recognized dancers.

We also discussed what it means to her to work with kids on and off the dance floor, her role in the Frankie Manning Foundation, the importance of black history and culture in Lindy Hop, and building a bridge between African-American partner dances like DFW Swingout and Chicago Stepping and the modern Lindy Hop scene.

THIS GETS ME SO EXCITED ABOUT JAZZ DANCING

[dangerousstrawberrypie]

The other night I had a dream where I was at a Blues hockey game AND the International Lindy Hop Championship, and at first I was having that pandemic panic of being in a large group of strangers and not having a mask on, but then I discovered I was sitting next to Tem Morrison who promptly asked if I would make out with him, and I was so surprised that I panicked and ran to the gift shop to think about something mundane like buying a Blues shirt. Fear not, for he followed me down there and after that thing where your dream brain fixes everything, we did indeed make out in the relative quiet of the hockey rink ballroom gift shop. Definitely knocked my socks off.

I don’t know how to animate (Or draw for that matter), but, here’s an idea for everyone who does... Listen, what about.. Spinel dancing Charleston (Or any other style of swing) with or without a partner.

Here are some examples:

Charlestone (Spinearl much?)

Episode 33 is out! My guest this month is swing dance instructor, performer and social dancer, Christian Frommelt. Christian is widely known as a devotee of St. Louis Shag, which he learned in his hometown from some of the original jitterbugs, and which has taught around the world with his partner Jenny Shirar.  Together with Jenny, he was won competitions at Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown 2014 & 2015, and at ILHC in 2015. Christian also does tremendous work as a scene leader in St. Louis, including co-organizing the Nevermore Jazz Ball and cultivating a strong community of dance through the St. Louis Jitterbugs.

Christian and I sat down in New York City to talk about how learning swing and Shag from local legends like John Bedrosian cemented his ties to St. Louis, how he adapts his teaching style to encourage individual expression, and what it takes to grow both a local scene and a large national event.

We also discussed what motivates him to take on a leadership role in his local dance community, getting destroyed in head-to-head battles before winning the final two battles of ULHS, and how that event provided inspiration for making the Nevermore Jazz Ball a celebration of St. Louis.
