The Entire History of Swing Dancing in a Six-Minute Routine

The delightful routine performed by Andrew Thigpen and Karen Turman at the International Lindy Hop Championships in 2010 is chock full of homages to everything from Hellzapoppin, Buck Privates, and Goovie Moovie to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Gap ad, bad East Coast swing dancers, and even popular dancers within our swing community. It’s basically a six-minute history of swing dancing!
