EURO LINDY HOP CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009


To be held at GNSH 2009, Haileybury, Herts (Nr London), UK.
Sunday 15th February 2009 at 10:30pm.

This will be a fun Lindy Hop Jack n Jill competition. Entry is FREE to anyone attending the weekend.
However as spaces are limited, all competitors are advised to sign up in advance of the event.

NB: In 2008 we had competitors from 10 countries.

How does it work:
The competition will commence with Preliminary Rounds, where all competitors will dance at the same time “All Skate”.

The judges will choose a maximum of 6 follows and 6 leads from the preliminary rounds for the finals.

During the finals each couple will dance spotlight (solo) for a short time (8 x 8 counts), and then everyone will complete the rest of the track together in “All Skate”.

Big Apple Contest:
There will also be a Euro "Big Apple Contest" dancing to a 19 Piece Orchestra, playing the original tune from the movie clip Keep Punchin..

The Music:
The DJ and/or Orchestra will focus on playing music from the “Swing Era” and will play 3 tracks/Set at slow, medium and fast tempos during each round.

The Prize:
Euro Lindy Hop Championship Trophy presented by Norma Miller.
FREE tickets to GNSH 2010.

Rules:
There are no rules except the dance style must be Lindy Hop.

The Judges:
We have secured some of the finest Teachers and Competitors in the world, led by none other than Ms Norma Miller, one of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and a veteran of the Savoy Ballroom.

She will be assisted by a top league of international teachers and guests attending the event.

Costs:
Normally you pay for competitions, but this one is FREE to enter.
