Great band, great dancing. Good to have this alternative angle and closer view. Top notch competition.
Thank you! We agree; The side angle on some of the aerials really shows what’s happening. ❤️💃🕺
Totally! Great to see the reaction from the audience!
Their dancing was clean!
Nils and Bianca !!!!!
@@debrawondergem1528All The Way!
Guy in colourful checked shirt, girl in purple jumpsuit. Yeah!
That's Nils and Bianca! www.youtube.com/@NilsandBianca
oh i knew it!! they caught my eye right away
@@heartofglass7235 Welcome to the fan club! :)
Yeah, that’s Nils and Bianca. They are awesome! But everybody was really top tier!
Dude throws her around like a rag-doll and she loved every second.
The instantly recognisable and unmistakable brilliance of Nils and Bianca.
I am happy for the others that dancing is so much fun in itself, this way it is not that bad for them that NOONE can ever beat Nils and Bianca
Nils and Bianca keep raising the bar, doing moves I've never seen before - truly amazing 👏👏👏👏
I love that I had no idea who Nils and Bianca were, but I immidiatelly knew which couple you were talking about )))
@elenachernysheva5333 I had no idea about them until these videos appeared in my timeline. They're really in a class of their own.
Says it all, and so well : )
I was gonna comment on Nils and Bianca but seeing as everybody and their mother is focussing on them I want to give props to all the teams out there. An amazing feat of skill and just pure delight to watch. Thanks everyone!
Absolutely. Great comment. Jeez, the energy of everyone! Robert, uk.
They are all bloody good! Great entertainment!
My Mom was a 'Lindy Hopper' back in the day. She taught my sister and I her two favorite moves - the 'Shorty George' and the 'Suzy Q'. I'm 75 now, and I still do them to this day.
Nils and Bianca win hands down! Sensational! Absolutely SLAYED!
they always bring some death defying move where im wondering how does Bianca travel so quickly in the air haha
@@jonlau7937 teleportation 😂💃🏻
no question, the power, clean transitions, speed, technique, they are on another level.
This dance looks like so much fun that it shouldn't be a competition. It should be something EVERYONE should do every Friday night. (Having said that, I was amazed at the talent of all of the performers.)
I do it every Wednesday! Try searching for "swing dancing near me" and see what you can find. I started this channel to host the videos for the website of a monthly calendar of swing dances.
there's nothing wrong with competing.
@@orangemoonglows2692 Nope, nothing wrong with competing, but how does that tie in? I never said there was something wrong with competing.
@@Marnee4191Well, you did say it shouldn't be a competition.
But yeah, these guys are all some of the best in the world, but most cities have Lindy communities and the barrier to entry is very very low. Just show up and start dancing.
@@antonliakhovitch8306 Yes, but I didn't say there was anything wrong with competitions. Obviously, it was just one way of saying this looks like a great Saturday night. As for me dancing, doesn't it require a partner? I've never had any luck showing up for dance classes or groups without a partner, of which I am currently lacking. But it's great to know these are likely out there in my city. Maybe some day. Thanks!
I'M SO GLAD MY ALGORITHMS ARE WHOLESOME ENOUGH TO SUGGEST THIS TO ME. I WAS SMILING FROM EAR YOU EAR THE WHOLE TIME. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
There's Nils and Bianca❣❣❣
Right?! When they get on the dance floor, they bring an energy that the crowd really feels. 🎉
Nils and Bianca come from another galaxy.
All phenomenal, but, Nils and Bianca are my gold standard. ❤❤❤❤❤
I was also excited to see them in person. Incredible energy!
@@swingdancingphoenix IN PERSON???????!!!!!!! You lucky duck!
@@betsylindsay8480 YES! I went to Camp Hollywood over Labor Day weekend and took this video! During the social dancing where the band, Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five featuring Hilary Alexander (who started the event 25 years ago) played, this contest happened! They also taught classes during the weekend.
@@swingdancingphoenix thank you capturing this. 1.3M views definitely bring this to a wider audience. I wonder how quickly Camp H will sell out next year.
I love Nils and Bianca. Nils bounces when he dances.
And I also love his and Bianca's feet that practically hits their behinds when doing a jump!
@@swingdancingphoenixThey are just 😙 perfection to watch. Every time. ❤
The absolute swagger in the way Nils and Bianca strut off the floor like they KNOW what they just did was fire 🔥
Hahaaa! Yes!
Nils and Bianca are just something else! 😍 What a remedy on a rainy day.
Like I say, nobody is ever mad when dancing. So even on nights when I'm grumpy, I still go dancing and come home happy. And exhausted.
how was that move even possible!
Nils & Blake in one video, amazing!
You can't be mad watching a lindy hop. Love this. So much joy from the dancers and the viewers ❤️
Congrats to all the dancers! Great air-steps, with a shout-out to Nils and Bianca for doing moves I've never seen before 👏👏👏👏
I can't wait to see what they do next year!
The crowd reactions are phenomenal
Nils and Bianca all the way there the Best love the uk ❤❤❤
They crushed it at Camp Hollywood this year!
😂❤❤❤
❤😂❤
which couple are they?
The guy has the fun, colorful shirt and she has the purple romper. Also the ones with the craziest aerials!
You have to applaud the strength of the male partners especially with the gymnastics their female leads are giving🎉🎉
😅
As great as all the teams were, when Nils and Bianca hit the dance floor, for me they're the only couple in the room! Watching with a huge smile and a happy heart from Aotearoa New Zealand. 😊💜
Agreed!
Go the ABs...
Everyone here is FEARLESS!
The way I audibly gasped at 3:47. Like they did so much and just went above and beyond... just the speed they went at. It almost seemed second nature. You could see a lot of moves coming but that was just so fast and they did it so easily I was genuinely shocked. Bravo
Dang!! Random recommended video and I couldn’t stop smiling by the end! Their energy
and joy is contagious
Nils and Bianca are amazing dancers, they come up with a lot of interesting and unique moves, I really enjoy watching them.😊
All of them are just incredible! And everyone smiling while they're dancing is such a lovely addition
OH! I am absolutely AWED by the talent, the energy, the joy all these wonderful couples displayed. I smiled the whole way through. 🥰
Our pleasure!
Nils and Bianca, love to watch you! 😊
Agreed!
They're all amazing! I can't get my eyes off of Bianca and Nils💗
Not only because of their spectacular dancing but Bianca's purple romper is adorbs and Nils shirt is just fantastic. :)
Every couple was simply wonderful and so creative!
They are! I can’t wait to go next year and see them again live!
omg....how could you pick !???
Each and every one of them was spectacular. I can't even imagine trying to judge this.
I used to dance with the Mama Lu Parks Lindy Hoppers in NYC (I tap danced between their numbers) and since living in AZ I haven't found the swing dance community. This is the first time I found a Swing Dance in Phoenix! AWESOME!!!
Hi Traci! Welcome to Arizona! Please come out and join us. Check out the calendar at www.swingdancingphoenix.com where you will find dancing every night of the week except Friday nights! I hope to see you on the dance floor. ❤️ 💃
I love that swing is still relevant
I love the energy these incredible dancers have! The choreography is super! Thank you for the up-close view of the dance competition.
Our pleasure!
This is crazy!!! I love dance but I never knew that something this cool existed, their choreoghraphies were all so beautiful and cool, same goes for the great melodies the band made! Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much!! Lindy Hop has been around for over 100 years! Check out this video. Be warned, you'll get exhausted just watching it! czcams.com/video/dSAOV6XEjXA/video.html
@@swingdancingphoenix Thank you for a video recommendation ! 😁
This was fun watching. All couples were very good but Nils and Bianca are outstanding.
Congratulations to all the dancers here. Haven't seen much of this style before & the speed, agility, footwork & lifts & variety is very impressive! Thanks for a great display. I'd only ever seen Hugh Grant doing LindyHop in a film, but this is much more complex & energetic!!
Thank you so much! You can go down a rabbit-hole of Lindy Hop videos easily. I suggest starting with the search term: Hellzapoppin'!
czcams.com/video/dSAOV6XEjXA/video.html
Nils and Bianca are so much above everyone else. It's mind boggling.
O how I miss this - was part of the revival in the 1990s, so glad that so many people keep this amazing style of dance going. And then there’s the fantastic, joyous music. Wonderful stuff,
Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five were wonderful in person! I can't believe how great they sound. Also, I'm hoping to dance until I can't stand up any longer. 😀
I love Niles and Bianca but it's clear which won IMO the judges got this right on. Finesse plus power and creativity is what made the difference. If it was only power, speed, and creativity... Sure, but the smooth and organic execution of AJ and Gaby made the difference. They looked at ease
NILS AND BIANCA !!!!
Right?! I can't take my eyes off of them, either. They're SO FUN to watch!
the couple in the rainbow shirt and purple were fearless.
The guy in the colorful checkered shirt and brown pants is a very good dancer.
whoever is wearing the purple and checked shirt I need to say they are amazing! Fast and the lifts are incredible.
That's Nils and Bianca!
Крутейшие ребята!
/ Amazing guys! /
All winners 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏻👏👏🏿👏🏼
I subscribe to Nils and Bianca.They are amazing.
The best! Bianca Locatelli & Nils Andrén! They are amazing!
Girl in purple and guy in colorful shirt are by far the best ! Wow
Nils et Bianca... vous êtes mes champions... toujours !
I feel so happy to have seen them dance in person!
Sometime after the release of Swingers my bestie suggested we learn swing dancing, so we did. This reminds me of that and how people we knew had no idea that we could swing dance at all till we showed them and were the life of the party.
Los mejores, ( siempre ) Nils y Bianca ♥️
So much ENERGY!
How much fun is this?! I wish I would have learned how to dance in this style when I was young (and fit)... I would've had such a great time.😄
That colorful square shirt guy and girl crushed it.
This just makes me smile😊
Everyone did AMAZING, but Gabby Cook n Aj Howard will ALWAYS have my heart!❤️❤️
Dreamteam: Bianca und Nils sind einfach die Größten 💖
This looks like such wonderful wholesome fun! Really makes me wish my knees would let me dance like that. All the dancers were incredible: bravo!
WOW!, WOW! WOW! and did I mention WOWEEEEEE....
God what energy skill and great fun watching these people having fun is.
The most amazing thing is that three of the men here do not look like dancers in the least because they don't have the usual dancer bodies at all, which goes to prove that looks can indeed be deceiving.
Thank you all for the pleasure.❤❤❤❤❤❤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💥
DAMN, That dude in the colorful shirt with his partner had some CRAZY ASS dance moves ....So glad 2see Lindy still kicking hard with so many in attendance in 2023
Thank you! That's www.youtube.com/@NilsandBianca!
wow that was good congrats everybody dancers musicians the whole gang
The hot air balloon and Rosie the riveter HAVE IT! 🤩🤩🤩
I am dying over this comment! Hahaaaa "hot air balloon"!
That's such a fun way to put it ! Brought me a smile ! 😁
Sehr schöne andere Perspektive, schönes Video 😊…Bianca und Nils bleiben die besten ❤🎉
Thank you! They were so much fun to see in person!
There were some truly great moves in there. I liked every couple, each had something really good to show.
Agreed!
This popped up on my feed and it made me so so happy. Awesome.
I'm happy we put a smile in your heart!
What a wonderful performance of all of you❣️Thank you for the pleasure to share it with us👍🏽greetings from Berlin/ Germany - keep on dancing 💃🏻 🕺🏻
Thank you very much!
Whow, why I cannot dance like them? Because I am not able to do every single day training for hours. You all are so great. Chapeaux
Nils / Blanca OWNED this!
the energy in that room must've felt so incredible!! i'm in awe! (4:39 amzashvili and chen in the background LOL)
I love nil he’s my fav swing dancer 💃
How fun!
Glad you like it!
Just "Wow" My mum did the Lindy Hop in the 1940s, she also did the Jive, Ballroom, Twist, and I believe I have taken after her as I love dance and music.
Just wonderful to see. Creative expression and enjoyment without the theatrical pretentiousness of other dance forms.
thank you! .. for helping keep this wonderful music ..& dancing so alive .. ❤🙏🏽🕊🇨🇦
Thank you! I love it and want to inspire others to swing dance with me!
FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! I am Amazed ! I love when he Throws her to the crowd And the one that throws her high enough to go over his head with her legs straight out ! How did they do that??????
I don't know either but I've watched it on repeat. It was wild seeing it live!
So much fun
I agree. I'm hooked on Lindy!
Purple definitely!
I’ve never seen this type of dancing before but the couple with they guy in the rainbow shirt had a different level
Lindy hoppers take their tricks very seriously… even more so then in competitive salsa. Couple in checkered shirt and purple romper has the sickest trick I have ever seen! OMG!
Utterly superb, loved every second of that, they're all winners to me. LOVED IT
Do awesome to watch. Smiled the whole time!!! Wow!!!!
Go Nils and Bianca!! 💞
Everyone goes crazy for the amazing aerials, but I miss simple good dancing with good interpretation of the music.
Wow. What a fantastic group
The kids of today should be watching these COOL dance moves
short people, best dancers, mountain bikers and climbers!
Nils and Bianca ❤🎉 the dancing is so nice❤
Bianca Locatelli & Nils Andrén are a firm for me .
It all just looks so fun!
It's soooo fun!
Nils y Bianca siguen siendo los mejores

Insane! Congrats ALL! Great fun!
Wow. So fun to watch! Thanks for the smiles today
With pleasure!
Luv ya Nils and Bianca!
1:35 it's amazing. They caught the spirit of the era
I thought that the couple with the man in the brightly coloured shirt and partner in the jumper were awesome! And of course, that's Nils and Bianca. That man has a level of swagger that is awesome!
what a great and appreciative audience! i really dont know the first thing about this style but they let me know when to be impressed xD
