Laura Glaess's video, "What's the Deal with Solo Jazz": https://youtu.be/dJFChMhfqFc?t=289

"Lindy Hop was invented by Black Americans, and a lot of these moves predate jazz and can be traced all the way back to Africa. Therefore, many of the people who invented Lindy Hop had these moves, or variations of these moves, in their culture for hundreds of years, connecting them to dancers throughout their history. Thats very big. The inventors of this dance have a heritage of these moves and precursors of these moves that connect them to their ancestors. That's more than just cool, that's profound."

She's back babyeee! Well, for this episode anyway. Fiona serves you a big scoop o what she's been up to in her absence.

• if you love something let it go or whatever
• it's called "using" not "wasting"
• translating who you are into what you look like is hard
• if you can't be who you are when you're in charge.... then what?
