Lindyfest 2018 - Inside the Dancers' Studio - Video!

in

Hey folks! I hope you're enjoying the new episode with Jenny Shirar that went up earlier today.  I'm currently on a flight and getting the show notes for that episode collected.

Since I'm Houston-bound, I'm also reminded that I haven't posted the video from Lindyfest 2018's edition of Inside the Dancers' Studio, where I was joined by Jo Hoffberg, Kevin St. Laurent, and Mikey Pedroza for a great live conversation.  Among other things, we talked about how they got started dancing, what inspires them, and discovered their favorite curse words.  You can catch the whole thing right here on YouTube:

Hosting "Inside the Dancers' Studio" at Lindyfest 2017

in

Inside the Dancers' Studio has become a favorite tradition of Lindyfest/Lone Star. Lead this year by Ryan Swift, Inside the Dancers' Studio gives our honored guests a chance to share things about themselves, their lives, their careers, and their art that might not come out during classes. It's a chance to connect with our community's past in a more intimate way than just doing the steps. You definitely don't want to miss it!

DJing at Lindyfest/Lone Star Championships is always one of the highlights of my year, and I am delighted the organizers have also invited me to return as host for their special interview program, "Inside the Dancers' Studio."

This year I will be joined by the one-and-only Jean Veloz and Alde Lewis, Jr.! More info about Jean, Alde, and this year's event can be found here.

I had the privilege of interviewing Dawn Hampton at Lindyfest in 2012 and the honor of talking to Norma Miller, Chazz Young, and Sugar Sullivan last year (left). 

I'm very much looking forward to what we've got in store for 2017.
