Jerry & Wilma All Star Jack and Jill Finals ILHC 2022 Reaction | Lindy Hop Swing Dance

Is it even possible or reasonable to have a love-hate relationship with a dancers artistic choices? This is exactly how I feel about this performance by the incredible Sky Humphries.  The real conundrum to me is how he’s been able to do this type of “minor is major” format for over 20 years. Maybe it’s because of the impact of his memorable choreography with Frida. I always wonder if someone else tried the same minimalist approach if they would be viewed as an original or not doing enough. In a way it seems Skye has a monopoly on the simplistic approach that if anybody else tried they might be artistically pushed into the corner of comparison. I’d love to see someone try.
