Long Time No Type
It's been about a year since we've written a blog entry here, so I thought I'd do it finally. I just updated the videos and put in a new way to view the images. I also updated the tour listing. That's all! Andy

Savoy's 80th Anniversary
A few weeks ago, we had the amazing privilege and honor of performing a tribute to the Savoy Ballroom & it's attendees at the 80th Anniversary Celebration of the Savoy Ballroom in New York City.
It was both inspiring and humbling to be both amongst and interacting with our elders that both created, shaped, and kept alive the dance that has take over nearly 10 years of our lives.
If you are interested, there is a video of our performance on our videos page. The performers are Todd Yannacone, Naomi Uyama, Skye Humphries, Frida Segerdahl, Peter Strom, Caitlin George, Nina and I.
Many thanks to those who put on the event, and especially to those who gave us this dance in the first place.

Hello From The Airplane
Andy & Nina here, writing to you from the airplane going from Providence back home to DC. We just left our own special mark on Swingin' New England. And, by own special mark, we mean that Nina got peed on by another dancer's baby. This is the year of the baby, kids, so, before you miss the boat, you'd better get cracking with some fertile other. You don't want to be left behind with the newest infant swing dance accessory. We suggest a trip to the boneyard, stat.
Love,
Andy & Nina
PS. Swingin' New England is a fun event. You should go next year. We hear there might be a daycare center set up just for you. Just kidding.
