- I would prefer them to do Hip-Hop rather than the Lindy Hop! Though they performed it really well, I can't help but feel it was not far different from last week's Broadway offering. This is the last week they would be paired together. Here's hoping Matt and/or Charlotte tackle a very different genre next week.
wow, for never having danced Lindy Hop before, that was REALLY awesome
I love the guy!! He is talented, funny, great dancer, and is sooooo cute!! Also they dont have the typical dancer look like the others have and thats a plus.
I Liked This It Was An Interesting Style Of Dance!
@MsDanceMad A swingout is the most basic move of the Lindy Hop. Done in 8 counts, the lead brings the follow from open position into closed, and they rotate together before he sends her back out. While it is a very basic move, it is one that even the best are always working on. The energy sharing between the partners acts a lot like a rubber band being pulled and relaxed. It won't let me link the video, but if you look up "ILHC 2010 Max Annie," Watch the first video. There's a swingout at 2:38.
@MsDanceMad In the SYTYCD routine, the elastic energy died on beat 5 when he was sending her out because he tried to send her to the side, which would angle them profile to the camera instead of straight out, which would be better technique. Then again, as basic as they are, swingouts are not easy, and it is impressive that they had one that was recognizable after only a week of practice.
@MsDanceMad I highly recommend Andrew Thigpen and Karen Turman as well. Their routines are insane!

I love the guy!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!! LOVE MATT!!!
@lindybythelee She was swinging out to the audience!! Sooooo weird. But at least they HAD swingouts, and their air steps sure looked good :) Funny how these dancers can't get the things that "regular people" can get just fine (with time), like the swing out, but can do the really hard stuff like aerials pretty easily.
Matt really is a young Gene Kelly!
I agree with you on this one. Have you seen any of the u.s sytycd lindy hop's? those one's are better.
where do you think most moves from hip hop come from...lindy; jazz; tap...
More Charleston, at least there were a few swingouts though!
Best display of Lindy that I have seen on a competition show, but still makes me cringe as a Lindy Hopper. Kudos for actually attempting a swingout, the most basic and central move of the dance, but the execution of it completely deflated the energy. The most dynamic and visually appealing part of the swingout- beats 5-8- fell completely flat. I want to see fewer aerials and more actual partner technique from people who are skilled enough to be competing at this level.
i just want them to get married and have little dancing babies...
