you guys have got to see this dance troup i found out about. I didn't quite catch the name so i think its Whitney something. They are probably the single best dance troup i have ever seen.

I mean damn. They are fast, high energy, do killer aeirals, and generally rock. Even the slower dancing ive seen is without compare.

Truly this group is badass.

I will try to find a link to some of their stuff to post up here later.

oooh i think i've heard of these people. If i'm right i've seen them dance before. At first i thought that they kinda sucked because they aren't very clean and didn't do things to gether like most dance troupes do. After i watched more i changed my mind.

They ROCK. the lock step that one guy does WOW. do you know what i'm talking about?

yeah, yeah, yeah. thats the one with the big guy right? the one who does the splits?

i saw one of them do this thing where he came around on a swing out and jumped out and got like six feet of air. He was all splayed out. it was rad. flat out rad.

you know that one clip where the guy does the snatch? the aerial i mean... B) bad. bad thought. so yeah. he does it about as well as frankie used to back in the day.

yeah. there is this other move on the clip i'm still trying to figure out. he sticks his hand out out of a pull through and she turns...i just can't see what he's doing because of the quality.

D.A.Q., but are you talking about a currently performing dance troupe?

If you're talking "Hellzapoppin'" you're only talking about Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and the most classic example of fast lindy known...

By the way, one of those people IS Frankie Manning.

That's way cool! I wonder if they practiced that alot or if it was on the spur thing? People usually do practice their aerials before they do them right? I don't know the norm for this stuff yet.

Clint:

Lenneville and Hannah Banana are jerking your chain.

That being said, Whitney's Lindy Hoppers might be a good idea for a parody. I ought to call Jerm.

I kinda figured as much, but you never know. It's not so much that I'm gullible, it's that I'm jaded. I've seen so many bizarre things, I'll believe almost anything about how clueless people can be.

Hmm...confusion. Jake, feel free to chime in here.
Whiteys lindy hoppers are awesome. They were around back in the day and frankie manning was one of the members.

Whitney's lindy hoppers was this group i found last night, technically this morning, online. I think they are out of New York. That was a clip of them i posted earlier.

so yeah. You need to check out Whitney's lindy hoppers.

they rule.
personally, i think Whitey's and Whitney's are of a comparable ability but thats probably just me.
