Today 27th November 2022, marks our first day of workshops about #Lindyhop and #swingdance introduction, with 16 dancers in Lira District, Northern Uganda. We have heard a lot about these dancers and their challenges in dance and what are they expecting from these workshops which will take few days. As the workshops, will continue we shall be expecting more dancers joining in to learn more and also share with each other. We need to thank @blacklindyhf for facilitating these workshops so that we can have more dancers to be motivated and encouraged into African American dance. Stay more to come with the videos and photos always. @blacklindyhf @pacificswingdance @camphollywood @littlebigswingcamp @ilhc.europe @lindyhopchamps @lindy_boogie_hoppers @sunnysideswingstudio @swingtv_tr @jazzlinswing @frankiemanningfoundation @collectivevoicesforchange #swingdancelife #swingdancers #swingdancelessons #yoga #acroyoga #lindy #lindyhopper #instructorokurutgeorge #lindy26 #lindyhoppers #lindyfocus #blacklindyhoppersfund #Swingdance #Ugandaswingkids #lira #dancers #workshops #SwingDanceUganda (at Lira, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CleaKJ9L5Lz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For a fanart idea I was thinking of Rooster and Hangman slow dancing in the Hard Deck and it's like a bubble has been created around them. Just them and maybe slow ride in the background. that isn't a slow dance song but they make it be
Ok ok so I know I disappeared off the face of the earth for a hot minute (my drawing tablet pen got stolen and I was in charge of a super big dance event) but now that I’m back I HAD to draw this ask first bc 1.) I’m a dancer (mainly swing dancing and it’s hundreds of variations) and 2.) I love my Topgun boys
Headcannon time:
I drew Bradley as the Follow and Jake as the lead bc I just know Bradley gets so caught up in his head when he’s trying to lead any dance besides blues bc there’s so many different moves and what does he pick fuck and finally Jake just takes over bc Damn Rooster, you’re really stuck on that perch but he won’t complain much more than that- But when that occasional blues song does come on Bradley looks damn sexy when he takes charge.
(This may or may not be based on me as I get too wrapped up in my head trying to think out all the moves as a lead so I prefer to follow but damn do I love a good blues dance bc I can just feel the song)
Slow rider is definitely a quicker blues-able dance so Jake takes the lead on it while Bradley enjoys following. If you really want my dance opinion, Bradley definitely enjoys more ballroom blues (more waltz reminiscent moves) while Jake would enjoy Juking Blues (much more harsher body movements and jerks) more.
(I’m a ballroom blues bitch myself, but I won’t turn down a juke blues with a good lead)
Also as a treat I drew the boys doing a lindyhop aerial bc I’m mainly a lindyhopper. One of my favorite leads is a solid foot smaller than me so instead of her lifting me we end up reversing it and having moves where the follow lifts the lead so I had to draw it with the boys bc Jake absolutely LOVES being yeeted the fuck around. Also aerials are usually banned on the dance floor bc that shit can hurt someone, but jam circles are the prime time for some cool ass moves and I could definitely see them busting it down in front of the dagger squad
I almost want to continue with a lindyhop au bc it’s what I live everyday lol idk should I?
Last day of Saturday's lindy class, half of the students skip last days of class but we had fun! I always forgot to record Friday's Lindy class🤔, I'll do on September 😃 #lindyhopclass #lindyhop #lindyhoppers #dance #danceclass #lindyhopper #lindyhopperslife #swing #swinging #swingdance (en Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzT9FHHo99z/?igshid=11yoo3sh1piq8
I’m not sure if it’s just a “first world problem” it’s just more apparent in the “first world” I believe depression comes from from different sources for different people in different ways. Some people are born with a sad soul, some are in a way “groomed” to develop a depressive personality disorder and with others we may never understand how it came to be. I know for myself and others I’ve encountered and talked with we fit under what I refer to as “grooming. Spending our whole lives hearing negative messages of how we will never measure up in anything, always wrong,worthless easily manipulated this can lead to believing it and open to developing depressive mindsets. It’s real and it’s everywhere not just in the “first world” just more apperent and possibly more widespread than other countries. But I’ve been told that I’m wrong more than once about how I see/feel things so what do I really know about it to offer my take on the subject? Support young generation.

Here's 1,409th photo art that I create to honor the Harlem-Based swing jazz dance group, #LindyHop/#LindyHoppers.
