Lindy Rebels DC

Happy DCLX weekend, everyone. No, the Rebels aren't back to hosting any public events, but we hope you're having a swingin' time on the dance floor. Don't forget to support your musicians!

(Meme gleefully borrowed from somewhere on the internet before sending it to Cella Mahoney to embellish further for us several years ago.)

One year later... Has it really been a year already?!? The Rebels hope you're all doing well and at least listening to some great music if you're not able to dance during the pandemic! Thanks again to Amit for taking the photo.

Amit took this photo. I'm not sure why it's sideways, but it's somehow fitting.

This wolf is our spirit animal. We hope you're all doing well right now and staying safe!

THBPBPTHPT!

Photos from Lindy Rebels DC's last dance, coupled with a special boogie woogie lesson from Ksenia and Dmytro, and tripled with our friend Lauren's going away (which apparently meant lots of pictures of Lauren all night). All photos are courtesy of Liquid Lindy Photography. If David's in any of the photos, he didn't take them, but he did edit them.

Tonight is really what it was all about. Thanks again to everyone who made it out to our final event tonight, to any of our dances as the Rebels, and to any of the CitySwing dances over the past four years. We wouldn't have been able to do it all without you. Long live the revolution!

Fellow Co-conspirators,

David here. I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you who visited us since our inception, and also those who came out to the dances I previously hosted strictly as CitySwing DC. I especially want to thank everyone who helped me run the dances, particularly Anna Ruth, Kelcie Elizabeth, Cella Mahoney, Sidney Katherine, and Jess Conway (who we all miss), as well as Michelle Ariel for putting up with me, and Ton Ly for bringing really great pie every dance. I'd also like to thank Terry and Luca from DanceSport DuPont Circle for offering up the space for all of our dances.

The intent of Lindy Rebels was to provide a place for friends from different circles to come together, meet new people, dance to some music that was different from the norm, relax, and just have fun. I am proud that we were able to accomplish all of that and more over the past four years of putting on music!

That said, it is often hard to know when to close the book on a particular chapter, but we have reached that conclusion. Life has a way of getting in the way of things, and that's the case with Lindy Rebels. Simply put, after everything that's happened this year, I need to step back, take a break, and breathe.

Our 2-in-1 dance on September 27th will officially be the last stand for Lindy Rebels DC as a regular event. We may coordinate with some of the other local groups for some fun stuff down the road, and you may see me DJing some future band breaks at Glen Echo, but we don't have any plans at this time.

Thanks again for everything! In the words of the immortal movie Swing Kids, "Swing, heil!"
