60: Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (w/ SHANI BROWN & BRITTNEY CARAWAY)
(With longtime SoCal dancer BRITTNEY CARAWAY and International Bal and Lindy dancer SHANI BROWN.)Marge Takier -- Southern California Balboa and Lindy Hop old timer, incredible DJ, and co-founder of Bobby McGee's dance parties in the 70s-2000s, was part of a group of elderly original dancers that welcomed hundreds of new, younger dancers into the world of swing dance. A few, though, didn't feel that welcome by them. We discuss the reality that some of the greatest, nicest original dancers might not have always been perfect. And that's okay. We just wanted to talk about it.
This episode is also available on video (Though Shani is present in audio only) here and over on YT.
