Hi,
Thanks for your kind words about my site. I took a look at your site and I'm impressed with the format and the breadth of info. I noticed that you've put links to my site on the Lindy Hop and Balboa pages. I am both flattered and very grateful for this.
The Big Apple page was very brief so I tried editing it to add a little more info. I copied the formating from your Balboa page so that it would look consistent. Your interface is very easy to use and everything seemed to work ok. I don't have time to write the whole thing from scratch so I just copied a small section from my own web site and added a link to the full article at the bottom. I don't know if this ok or not so I won't be affended if you roll back my changes to your original version.
Anyway, I think it's now at least a bit more informative and better structured. I will try to return again in future to add more when I have more time...
Cheers
Dan
[edit] Ithaca Style Big Apple
I don't see any references to the Ithaca-style Big Apple here, so I'm starting by adding a couple of external links. I'm trying to gather more information about it, but according to the source below, it was choreographed by Frankie Manning. From personal experience I know it's usually done to "Flying Home" by Lionel Hampton. I've also heard rumour Frankie was described the original "Big Apple" over the telephone, which is how it started spreading in the Northern 'states.

That 'Ithaca Big Apple' is actually a section from the 'keep punchin' big apple sequence choreographed by Manning. I've deleted the external links anyway, as wikipedia has a policy of reducing links. You could add a comment somewhere in the text mentioning that the keep punchin' big apple routine is danced in various forms in different communiites. PlainJane 00:11, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
