The segment showcases Lindy Hop, one of the oldest partnered swing dance, to demonstrate the symbiotic relationship between a Leader and a Follower. Lindy Hop is amongst a very few other dance forms of partnered dances where a high degree of autonomy and independent creativity is placed upon both the Leader and the Follower. As such, the Follower in fact plays a very significant role in determining the course of the dance; and in turn, a vital role of the Leader is to support and react to the Follow in order to bring out the fun and energetic outcome that is the Lindy Hop. Swing Dance Hanoi is a community of dancers that dance the original form of partnered swing dancing…the LINDY HOP!
Lindy Hop is a highly “improvisable” dance which requires a balanced and dynamic connection and trust between the leader and the follower. The dance has its basic “moves”, however, they are often “improved-on” and lead by the leader. The follower in-turn would respond to this “lead” based on her/his own interpretation of it. The dynamics of the dance provide each dancer the freedom to be creative on their own and then come together when required. Today’s Lindy Hop presentation is of two fold. The first segment is choreographed and shows the “basics”. The second segment is completely improved and unrehearsed. As each couple takes the spot light the dance is lead and followed each step of the way; including when two leaders dance with each other alternatively taking the role of leading and following. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
