ULHS - Showdown Quarter Finals - The Decavita Sisters vs. Juan & Sharon

Guess where I’ll be tomorrow? New Orleans, for the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown. I won’t be competing this time around but rather finding every awesome follow I can find and dancing with them at least twice. Anyone in tumblr land going to be there too? 

Anyway, about this video. I’ve probably talked ad nauseum about Juan and Sharon by now (because I love them), but Emilie and Rebecca Decavita are two dancers I hadn’t known much about until recently. In this battle format competition, the two of them have the attitude and the skill required to go head-to-head with Juan and Sharon. They pull off their aerials seemingly effortlessly and naturally, and it looks just as amazing as what you’d get with a more traditional male base and female flyer (take THAT gender roles in Lindy hop!)

I’ll try to update a little bit from the Showdown, maybe posting first hand videos or pictures.
