Limited Edition t-shirts! You have three weeks to reserve one and they only print if we meet our goals by the deadline!

Also…because I look dumb in normal t-shirts…

Help a fellow Lindy Hopper out? I don’t get a shirt unless you guys do!

"Bouncin’ In Rhythm" by Adrian Rollini.

[ohyeahswingdance]

Have you seen this adorable wedding dance-cum-jam? My first thought when I saw them starting to swing was, “What shoes are they wearing?" My second though: “Awww!" My third thought: “I wish I could do that!"

[fwsds]

That's Augie and Delphine, who taught in Fort Worth at the Jitterbug Jam from 2009-2011!

Check out the new Fort Worth Swing Dance Syndicate promo video!

I finally got all of the video clips off my iPhone and thought..."What to do? What to do with all these clips?" 

Suddenly, a silent film appears.

The Frankie 100S will be available at Beantown 2014.

On a secondary note, Bobby White has me sold on the Frankie 100, despite its problems. I guess I have to wait for next year's model though...

Solo jazz moves made easy- The suzy-q. These videos are honestly the best thing ever.

Rebecca Brightly FTW.

I went to the dentist today and the dentist asked me if I did any sports or had any hobbies. Naturally, this was a perfect opportunity to talk about swing dancing.

This is what I like to call "Lindyvangelizing." 

I engage in this particular activity every time I carry out "official dance business," which is often. I also carry cards and give them out.

 HOWEVER: silly dentist!

A few lindy bending sketches! I swear I’ll draw dapper Mako eventually ;u;

[fwsds]

You probably all saw this one when Rebecca Brightly posted it on Facebook ages ago, but…

[deerlordhunter]

Bolin and Korra swingin’ it up.   I predict this ship will sink by the end of the series, but I’m gonna go down with the band!  

These were some warm up sketches, unfortunately I started way too late so I didn’t really warm up to anything.. :<  Oh well, maybe next time.

More Legend of Korra swing dancing fanart. 

[artisticdalliance-blog]

Legend of Korra Swing Dancing sketch! haha I’ve read so many LoK fanfictions that have dancing in them that I thought I’d have a play with Bolin, Korra & Mako dancing in the 20’s!

Totally loving the 20’s influence through LoK, I just wish they’d given Korra a better 20’s dress in episode 4!

This is ridiculously messy, took longer than I want to admit to (I’m not very practiced at action poses!) and is very hastily coloured. May come back to it later!

<3 broody Mako! 

LoK: Swing Dancing Sketch by *nastylittlethought / jeminabox

May 1, 2012

I happen to be a big nerd and also a big swing dancer. So when I find things like this…I can’t help but share. It helps that several people on the FWSDS Board are A:TLA and LoK fans, but I have to confess: I’m the biggest fangirl of them all. And if they ever release a soundtrack to Legend of Korra, you better believe I will DJ the heck outta that.

Is anyone else reminded of the Star Wars Cantina Song when they hear Diga Diga Do?

[fwsds]

If it’s the Asylum Street Spankers version…yes. It has the Cantina Band song right in the middle of it!

From Dolce & Gabbana to Paul Smith shoes, know your type!

Shirley MacLaine learned the moonwalk from Bobby Bonsey on the set of Elsa and Fred.

Yeah. I know.

[sassthathoopy]

[fwsds]

This happens to me…regularly.
