On October 29-31, the American Lindy Hop Championships will be held in Stamford, Connecticut. Over 115 competitors and several teams from all over the United States and several countries will be competing in a variety of events. The organizer of the event has made public all of the competitors who have signed up as of October 22, 1999. Some competitors will be competing in as many as four events.
It is expected that additional competitors will be signing up. The event is expected to be the largest Lindy Hop only competition event ever held with broad representation and will be a demonstration of the many styles and flavors of the dance which has been called "a uniquely American dance."
One of the events is the Jack 'N Jill where individual competitors sign up to compete with partners selected at random to music played at a variety of speeds in order to demonstrate ultimate partnering and musicality, central skills for recreational enjoyment of Lindy Hop and illustrating that in the end, winning is not as important as making your partner look good and artistically responding to music.
