Lindy Hop on TV Alert: Gotta Dance!

The the American Movie Classics special, "Gotta Dance!", is showing on Maui cable TV Channel 33 from 11:30pm-midnight Friday, September 10, 1999 (mainland time: 5:30am-6am EDT Sat. 9/11). It features many of the world's best Lindy Hoppers of today (including Erin Stevens, Steven Mitchell, Jonathan Bixby and Sylvia Sykes, and many others).

This film showed a few months ago, and I came upon it just as the credits came on, and saw all these familiar Lindy Hop gurus dancing away. So I don't know how much of the show is Lindy Hopping, but what I saw was great. If you've never seen what the Swing dance scene on the mainland looks like, this movie is a good sample, and shows why Swing is so hot right now. After you watch it, you can post your review of it on the Web.
