Many of us were thrilled by how well the 2020 International Lindy Hop Championships last year went, despite being completely virtual. The Video Showcase division in particular showed what talented dancers and videographers can create.

That said, nothing beats being there in-person for a live dance competition.

So this year, ILHC is splitting the difference and holding both an in-person event in Washington DC and an online competition, plus social dancing, dance classes, LED Talks, the return of the Swing Dance Museum, and more.

In-person competition divisions:

  • Lindy Hop Draw (Open, All-Star, and Invitational)

  • Solo Jazz (Open, All-Star, and Invitational)

  • Strictly Lindy Hop (Open, All-Star, and Invitational)

  • Pro-Am Strictly Lindy Hop (Leads and Follows)

  • Classic (Invitational)

Online competition divisions:

  • Video Solo Jazz (Open and All-Star)

  • Video Classic (Open, Advanced, and All-Star)

  • Video Lindy Hop Team

  • Video Solo Jazz Team

  • Video NORMAlizer

  • Video Showcase

Sounds ambitious, but that’s par for the course for lead organizer Tena Morales-Armstrong and her crew.

The competition takes place November 25-29, 2021 and registration is now open. Click here for the relevant registration links and more information:
