Swing Dance links:{mostly}

Margie Kate has some cool Lindy pages.  Includes background info and history, as well as weekly events list.

Victor Eijkhout has some interesting pages from Rec.Arts.Dance.  Specifically, I like the ones on Lead and Follow.

PBDA's Swing Classes are the best in the LA area for general intro, IMHO.
Alicia Milo is the best instructor in authentic/vintage L.A.-style Lindy Hop technique.

SwingSet.Net Wide variety of cool stuff for Los Angeles area.

Nocturne.com "making the world a Swingier place."  Includes a great list of Swing clubs in L.A.

Note that in LA, we see mostly Jump Swing groups since large bands co$t.  But we are lucky to have Bill Elliott and Eddie Reed bandleaders local.

Here's some info from the liner notes of the Swing Kids soundtrack.

Yahoo's LA Swing and Lindy club.
