Melbourne Bits 2

--
A shop called universal-ent.com had really giant, really cool mega-salad-bowls the I am desirous of.

Melbourne florists take orders for, and sell, Christmas trees. I haven't seen that here but it seems like an obvious bit of extra seasonal income.

I have found out that I should get some lindy-hop specific dancing shoes, probably two pairs. They are Aris Allen shoes. A casual pair and a retro pair. These are hand made in Baltimore and have a serious amount of specificy to them, quoth:

'Aris Allen's philosophy is that your dancing will look more authentic if you wear the same shoes the dance was invented in'

'These are designed for the intermediate / advanced dancer.'

Lindy notes:
- learn some hip-hop 'pops', these are popular when swing dancing in Germany, I have heard.
- when doing corridors, learn the clockwise follow spin to close.
- practice basket side to side transitions, especially in blues dancing.
- practice my skater hold transition double spinning the follow into close that Rachel and Phil taught.
- swing djs use jriver media studio and read swingdjs.com

Lindy teaching thoughts
- sheet music for stepping rythms.
- move card in either 6/8 length for 6 count or 8/8 length etc
- setting homework via video!
