"This video shows a pair of extraordinary gifted swing dancers... set to modern hip-hop with a lot of eerily serendipitous synch-ups between the music and the video. The dancing is nothing short of amazing and set to the contemporary music, it's even nicer. Link "

The dance has been variously identified as the Lindy Hop, the Big Apple, and the Charleston, while the two dancers are Al Minns and Leon James. Enjoy!!

"Terry sez, Contemporary swing dancers sometimes dance 20's Charleston and Balboa to hip hop. Those styles also go great with bhangra. If you're interested in swing dance footage, there's over 30GB of vintage and contemporary swing dancing clips at dans.poy.no."
