Trotting a Fox

[icepixie]

I have videos from the exhibition. Wheee, videos! I put them on YouSendIt, but on the off chance any of them get used up or expire before you see this (and that's a horrifying thought), there are also copies on my own webspace. For the sake of bandwidth, please try the YSI ones first. If they're not working, right-click and save the others. They're all about ~15-20 MB, and under a minute long.

Big thank you to Chandra for taking this videos. Only the last one has sound, because my camera is fickle about turning the microphone on. Not that it matters much, since the ridiculously high ceilings of the KAC eat all sound. Just imagine "I've Got You Under My Skin" playing for Foxtrot and 'Stray Cat Strut" for Swing.


ETA: YouSendIt files are down, just use the ones below.

Foxtrot 1
Foxtrot 2
Swing 1
Swing 2

I'm the blonde with short hair. In the Foxtrot vids, you CANNOT MISS the pink dress. In the Swing clips, I'm in a black dress, and unfortunately towards the back, and often hidden by the random projection unit they had in the middle of our dance floor.

Things to watch for: my total screwup on the tapping step in Foxtrot, the ridiculous skirtspan of the pink dress, my WAY COOL landing of the leapfrog jump at the very beginning of the second Swing clip (shut up, I'm still proud), uh...yeah. Enjoy. :)

I keep getting "internal errors" when I try to dl the first swing and second foxtrot from YSI. :(

How strange. I replaced them with the ones from the e-mail YSI sent me, instead of the link it gives you when it completes the upload.

They seem to work okay for me now. If they're not working for you, jsut get them off my website.

The links worked for me. I enjoyed it! Was great! Yay!

[icepixie]

Yay!

You know, I remember a time when we literally had to drag you out onto the dancefloor... *g*

And that IS an impressive-skirt swing! And you've got some very energetic swing dancers...

Looks like loads of fun!

In completely unrelated news (except maybe for the fun bit), when are we going to figure out a time for us to meet up before you leave Kenyon? *g*

that WAS an awesome leap. hehehe. Very spiffy, Becca.
I snagged the YSI links.

I just needed to know what I was doing! Well, that and lose every single inhibition I ever had thanks to the combined powers of Scapers and ballroomers...

Heh. Scott was kind of going crazy at the beginning there.

It is!

Good question. I'm a bit hampered by the whole not-having-a-car thing, although at least the no-time-to-do-anything-but-work problem is going to evaporate by tonight. Um...more coherent thoughts later once I've had some sleep? Suggestions?

I really need to learn to dance properly someday...

And I need to just dance more in general. I think the last Scapercon might just be the last time since I really danced...argh! Always loved it with Scapers but that seemed to be the only time I really had much opportunity.

As for a meet...if you'd like to come up and stay on the farm we could definitely put you up here for a weekend or a few days. And I might possibly be able to drive and get you if need be. (If you found a reasonable bus or Amtrak instead, I could definitely get you from a station.) We'll figure it out. :?) And if you're ever on AIM, I'm Elflore there too, so we could talk more contemporaneously. :?P
