Apr. 18th: The Movement Performance at The Den! 

The UC Berkeley performance group The Movement will be performing their Spring 2012 Lindy Hop Routine this Wednesday at the Den. This piece choreographed by Allie Cohen and Scott Wilson appropriates the hot melodies of Benny Goodman and Chick Webb's orchestras to tell a classic story of heartache. Ella Fitzgerald's vibrant vocals help us tell the story of a love-struck girl, enamored devastatingly with a boy who is loath to decide if he loves her in return.

Dancers: Janine Seth, Travis Bullock, Allie Cohen, Scott Wilson, Hannah Howard, Luca Weihs, Tessa Mochizuki, Roger Mong, Ankur Mehta, Daisy Zhou

Picture below: Allie & Scott's Lindy Hop dancers from the Spring 2012 Movement Showcase. Looking HOT!!



Fun Fact: Both Jean & Bromley first starting dancing with The Movement. They are so excited to see that years later Lindy Hop lives on and keeps getting better and better, especially the costumes as you can see when you compare the above picture to the pictures below. ;o) Movement Rocks My Socks!!!
