The New Orleans Swing Dance Festival & The Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown - Sept 30t - Oct 4th, 2010 - New Orleans, LA - A festival of traditional jazz and swing dances! The Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown began nine years ago as a weekend centered around lindy hop competitions. No holds barred and improvisational, ULHS showcased dance contests like no other. Using no rules, boundary pushing contest formats, and focusing on the intrinsic relationship of jazz music and dance, The Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown has become one of the most anticipated events in the international swing dance community. With its move to New Orleans in 2009, ULHS became more than a mere competition event. With more social dancing, more live music, historical lectures, dance classes, special guest performances, and a traditional New Orleans second line, the event has simply outgrown its name.
