Saturday night at the hop - Zydeco!

Now here's a social dance I'm sad to say I've never tried -- which is a crying shame after watching these folks and seeing how much fun it obviously is!

Here's some Zydeco dancing (from Louisiana) for ya -- here's an awesome brother and sister team! Nothing like dancing in your stocking feet in the kitchen. :-)

And, some clips from the Louisiana Zydeco Live television show:

Saturday night at the hop - The Lindy Hop

Hellzapoppin'! Here are the utterly amazing Whitey's Lindy Hoppers from 1941 (dancing starts around 2:40)!:

And here are some contemporary cats recreatin' that frenetic Hellzapoppin' mood (from the Basie Centennial, New York City, 2004). Check out several of the couples dancing slo-mo toward the end of the second video (around 5:50)!:
