edythe and BeeLing liked this

oh yes! and I'm missing Herrang right now... - BeeLing

Me too! Oh, and I went on YouTube and was stunned at many zillions of videos from Herrang there are, but I couldn't find a "This is Herrang" type video for the uninitiated :o - Adam Lasnik

when you say swing dancing, you mean the 40s style jitterbug type dancing? not "square" or contra dancing? probably. darn. - edythe

Hey Edythe, yep, well, kinda 20s-40s... "Lindy Hop." :) But it's all good! I think dancing is great for the soul, especially when done socially, not competitively. - Adam Lasnik

There's a video that gives a tour of the Herrang site, but there's almost no dancing in it: "First Trip to Herrang" -- http://video.google.com/videop... - Thai Tran

Also, I have a video that shows some of the Herrang teachers/organizers. It's from a dance contest in Stockholm that occurs right after Herrang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Thai Tran

I like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Michael W. May via twhirl

Okay, Thai... that first one I couldn't bear to finish watching... the jerkiness of it and that creepy baby... ew! That didn't do Herrang justice! :D The second one... definitely amazing (and wasn't that Hanna in one of the parts? :). And Michael... yeah, that video rocks, and I believe the groom is a Googler out of New York :-) - Adam Lasnik
