Lindy Hoppers needed for Video Shoot, London, 14 March

Edited: Tue, 10 Mar 2009

Fancy seeing yourself on You Tube? Want to send a birthday greeting to Lindy Hop legend Frankie Manning?

We want to shoot a couple of promotional You Tube clips outdoors in the centre of London for the London Swing Dance Society and Club Dance Holidays, plus a special Birthday tribute which will be sent to Frankie Manning who is celebrating his 95th Birthday in New York this May.

We need:

*100s of Lindy Hoppers of all levels from beginners to advanced.

* People who can film the event with their own HD camera and are happy to send us the footage for us to edit into one final clip.

* A few volunteers who can help with the coordination of the filming, i.e. runners.

We are making these videos on no budget but in return we would offer our heartfelt thanks for making this happen plus a half price entrance to Stompin on Monday 16th March at the 100 Club for everyone who takes part.

Not essential, but it would be really useful if you attended the Tuesday Intermediate classes at Wild Times this week where we will be teaching some of the moves we plan to use in the clip. We also plan to film all the dancers doing a Birthday Shim Sham for Frankie Manning.

If you would like to take part or feel you can help please email Kirsty at swinguk@zetnet.co.uk with Promo Video in the subject line by Friday 13th March, in order that we know how many people will be coming on the day and have your names listed on door at Stompin for your discount.

Where: South Molton Street, London (near Bond Street tube) - exact meeting location to be confirmed - watch out for further emails!

When: Saturday 14th March 09

Time: Arrive by 8.30am ready for filming at 9.45am (Filming should be finished by 10.30am)

Costumes: Please wear normal everyday clothes
