Check out the video of Natalie Gomes and Yuval Hod performing at the 2004 World Swing & Shag Dance Championship. Quite impressive how they combined acrobatics with some smooth dancing which blends very well with the music!

Today was the annual Swing Ball put together by Lee Sobel. The ball takes place during the last week of the year. This year's venue was the dance club Avalon (former Limelight). There were two dancefloors, each having a live band. In the main dancefloor Nick Palumbo & The Flipped Fedoras were playing until about 9:30. Then came Ron Sunshine & Full Swing, followed by Eight to the Bar. In a smaller room painted all red J. Walter Hawkes Combo was playing.

The place was packed. The main dancefloor had barely enough room to move. People were dancing on the balconies which had more room, but it was much warmer up there.

They had a mini dance contest where they picked first and second place winners. This couple go the first place. The winners received something in a gift bag.

There was also a dance performance of something resembling Charlie Chaplin by Paolo Lanna and Evita Arce. Here is the video:
