Lindy Focus, Asheville, North Carolina

Lindy Focus 2010 (27th Dec to 1st Jan 2011)

Back in sunny Perth, very sunny, in Western Australia 39d or 102F. I am wishing for snow instead, there's a Cyclone warning coming through.

Lindy Focus was a pretty awesome event with at least 500 people in Asheville, North Carolina. Getting there was a little tricky for me, as I was leaving from from NYC. All the airports were snowed in, and I only got to Asheville at 4pm on the Thursday.

I was sort of living on a Murphy's Law thing, that anything could go wrong, would go wrong. On my last trip to NYC in 2005, Northworst (sorry Northwest) airlines lost of luggage. There was no way in hell that I would be at a Lindy event without my dance shoes!

I decided to take a smaller bag, and not check in my luggage. Delta planes are tiny, and they had to take everyone's hand carry bags at the gate anyway in exchange for a pink tag. Hmmm... ok. When we got to Asheville, remember Murphy's Law? Not only was my flight delayed for 2 hours at La Guardia but, the 'elevator' that carried the hand luggage got jammed and the doors didn't open. Now, the irony of the situation was that the peeps that checked in their luggage, got their luggage and I was still waiting...

So... finally at Lindy Focus... here are some photos of teachers that I took that I liked!

What I really love is the intensity of people's faces when they are dancing.
