The Legend of Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday (April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959)

As seems to be infamous with many legends of the swing era, the life story of Billie Holiday isn’t clear cut and various versions of her life float about, so you really don’t get a list of facts that tell you who Billie Holiday was, rather you get stories, many of them contradictory, and it’s up to you to choose which stories to believe and create for yourself a picture of the woman, the singer, and the legend that we know as Billie Holiday.

Paying it forward…selfishly.

I started my lindy hop habit a number of years ago, when after attending Atomic ballroom a couple of times with what can be best described as “functional” east coast swing abilities I decided I should learn lindy hop and signed up for some classes. I took a beginning series and started social dancing once or twice a week. After the beginning series ended I took an intermediate series and upon its conclusion the instructor approached me about a team that he ran. The team met for a couple of hours once a week to learn and practice. They performed publicly from time to time, but the point of the team was to help beginning lindy hoppers progress their dancing.

Camp Jitterbug 2009, Seattle

Camp Jitterbug 2009, Seattle

Greetings from Seattle. Camp Jitterbug 2009 started off this year with a bang! The Jump Session Show was filled to the brim with top notch dancers from across the globe. Although I wondered how they would fill the 2 hours, after being there and watching the show, I wonder what other awesome routines they had to cut out.

I am a Lindy Hopper

By |2024-11-18T20:55:12-08:00May 18th, 2009|Swing Dancing, General|Comments Off on I am a Lindy Hopper

Lindy Hop ROCKS!

Lindy Hop ROCKS!

I am a Lindy Hopper. Although I continually want to improve my dancing, I’m very happy with how far I’ve come in the last two years and am eager to continue. But I would not be where I am today without a lot of help from a lot of people. That commitment to me as a part of the Lindy Hop community is built through the generosity of knowledge and talent from other dancers and the interpersonal nature of the dance itself.
