Lindy Focus VIII

For the third time in a row, I have finished the year at the happiest place on Earth:  Lindy Focus.  LF is truly a magical place.  I have never been somewhere where so many people from so many different places and backgrounds come together with a more united purpose–dance.  Time at this camp takes a strange form (read a few pages from Einstein’s Dreams and you’ll know what I mean).  There are times when the day happens in less than a minute, and other times when a half hour conversation takes a whole week.  The synergy of music, rhythm, harmony, movement, dance, friends, and very little sleep makes for an ineffable event that can only be experienced.  I met many wonderful people this year who in just a few dances left memories that I will never forget.  All the way up to NYE, it was the most intense and exciting weeks of the year.  I wouldn’t have started 2010 any other way.
