Team Events.
Saturday afternoon, at Municipal Pier.
Put together a team from your town/state/studio/wherever and show some
team
spirit! Wear identifying team clothing, create a unique dance move or
cheer,
generally amp up the ridiculous premise of having Lindy Games in the first
place.
| Flag Lindy |
Teams will dance, one follow carrying a
flag
on her waist. The goal is to get to the flag to the other side of the
field.
Flag may be stolen by other follows, who then must tuck it into their
waistband.
Leads are given the task of protecting their follows, and directing
them
towards the flag or the goal. Dancing must be continuous. Runners will
be
given penalties. |
5 pairs per team. Two teams per game. Teams
can
be from cities or assembled on the spot. |
| Cross discipline syncronized
Lindy |
A showcase event! If you have a
special
talent, do it at the same time you Lindy! Teams will be judged on
originality,
style, ability to actually dance while doing something else, and
audience
glee. (For example, SF's Dave Wong will be demonstrating hula hoop
lindy). |
Preassembled teams of any size.
Practice up a routine before you come to SF! Or just make one up if
you
find a kindred spirit!
|
| Lindy Relay |
A relay version of Speed Jig Walk.
Lead/Follow
pairs will race down a track and hand off a baton to the next pair at
the
relay station who will then continue to the next pair. The first team
to
cross the finish line wins. Dancing is mandatory for each leg; runners will
be
disqualified. |
4 pairs per team. Teams can be from cities
or
assembled on the spot. |
| Swing Soccer |
Teams will dance, while trying to get a
soccer
ball through the goal. There will be a time limit on the game. Leads
are
given the task of protecting their follows, and directing them towards
the
ball or the goal. Dancing must be continuous. Runners and solo dancers
will
be given penalties. |
5 pairs per team. Two teams per game. Teams
can
be from cities or assembled on the spot. |
| Ultimate Lindy |
We're not at all sure how (if!) this will
work...
but we're willing to try. This is Lindy with a frisbee. Event will
happen
on the beach. |
Up to 10 pairs per team. Two teams per
game.
Teams can be from cities or assembled on the spot. |
Special event for DJs!
9-9:45 pm Saturday evening, Regency Ballroom.
Come out and see your favorite DJs and other music geek friends test
their
knowledge and demonstrate why we love them so much!
| Hey DJ! Name that tune. |
Just like the TV gameshow from the 70s...
DJs
(and other music afficianados) will challenge each other to guess the
song
name and artist in the fewest number of notes. Will it all be swing
music?
Probably.... |
