Some of you might know that I am an avid swing dancer. I have been doing it for about 9 years now. I attended some of the Portland Lindy Exchange this past weekend. The two events I attended were hosted at the Crystal Ballroom, my favorite place to dance. we had to leave a bit early the first night since we were super tired and I could not attend the other events because I was shooting a wedding on Saturday. But Sunday’s event was great. The organizers did a tremendous job in general and that night was no exception. They hired Art Abrams, a terrific big band. The place was rocking.

So what is a lindy exchange anyways?

Quoting from Virginia Swing Dance

“A Lindy Exchange is where a Swing Club from a certain city invites out-of-towners & locals to come dance for an extended weekend. Traditionally it has DJ’ed Dance Parties and/or Live Bands from the afternoons, evenings to the wee-hours until daybreak.”

Portland’s lindy exchange website is: http://portlandlx.com/

Here are some of the photos from that night, the rest can be found here.
