I've never seen a Lindy Hopper who wasn't smiling. It's a happy dance. It makes you feel good.
I'm not interested in fame and glory. It's just that I would like others to know what a happy dance this is.
When you are dancing with your partner, for that two and a half minutes, you are in love with each other. You're corresponding with each other by the moves that you make. It's a love affair, between you and your partner and the music. You feel the music, you feel your partner, she feels you and she feels the music. So there the three of you are together. You've got a triangle, you know. Which one do you love best?
Lindy Hoppers never die - they just swing out.
I never taught people where to step on '2', because when I learned how to dance there was no '2'. We just danced to the music.
