    I'm a lindy hopper in NYC and the world over it's been gentrification to no end. Lots of racism from 'others' towards the originators, but that's changing! I believe Frankie manning and norma Miller are in here. Harlem legends! I've seen the 'others' do this exact routine and they think that doing aerials is an accomplishment. Unfortunately, when you cosplay lindy and lack the cultural history and soul of the people who created it, the dance comes off as looking slow and labored lol

    • @clicheguevara5282
      @clicheguevara5282 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The ‘other’ musicians in this film look “slow and labored” as they make a mockery of those fine European instruments. Only white people are cultured enough play woodwinds and brass.
      Also, since you were born long after the 1940s, you also lack the cultural credentials to Lindy Hop. Your hopping license is revoked as of June 1, 2021. You’re free to do any dance that was created locally, after your birthday, and by someone of the same race.
      All other dancing is forbidden and will be considered McCultural Appropriation™️.
