I know it's wrong to just post youtube clips, but I had to. This is some dancing from the 80s - I'm sure I recognise some famous doods there, but I'm confident enough to specify. But you HAVE to watch through to see two chicks dancing together - they rock.

In a similar vein, here's some more 80s lindy. This time it's the Harlem Hot Shots (Swedish superstars) doing a fully sick recreation of very famous routine(s). These guys are really tight, pulling out shit that's tres chic with the kids today... and to think, some of those kids were all 'I only dance smooth' five years ago. Sigh.

FYI: here's the original routine referenced by the Hot Shots:

...and of course, the Hellza routine:
