Thursday, October 21, 2010

Celebrate 12 years of Yehoodi.com on Thursday, October 21st! To celebrate, we’re going to have a no-holds barred Frim Fram featuring Yehoodistrator DJs Lilieblue, Effervescent, Frankyboy, Rikomatic and Swifty spinning tunes for your dancing pleasure. The extra room will be open on the other side for people to catch up and have more space to dance and throughout the night we will be giving away prizes, serving cake and hosting the craziest dance competition ever seen in New York since the Harvest Moon Ball!

Dance Competition

A dance competition, you say? Yup! At the 11 o’clock hour we will be hosting a no-entry fee, tap out Strictly Lindy Hop contest judged by Frankyboy, Laura Jeffers and Dave Graybill with insane prizes including:

  • 12 months of free admission to Frim Fram
  • 2 Pairs of Aris Allens from dancestore.com
  • $100 Gift certificates from Dancestore.com

Plus free classes, privates and workshops from You Should Be Dancing, Dance Manhattan and Margaret Batiuchok, weekend passes to ALHC and more!

Prizes will be awarded in a ‘Yehoodi Swap.’ The 3rd place couple will be announced and will choose their prize. The 2nd place couple will then be announced and will be able to either choose a remaining prize, or they can steal the prize from the 3rd place couple. Rinse and repeat for the 1st Place couple. There’s no need to sign up in advance, just enter with a partner that night!

Door Prizes!!

We will be giving away prizes all night so come early! Prizes include free classes, admission to local dances including the Boilermaker Jazz Band at Frim Fram on Nov 4th, swing crash courses, merchandise from www.savoystyle.com, and more! Grand Prizes are not transferrable and some giveaways have expiration dates.

If you would like to provide us with something to give away at the door that night, please email heatherflock at gmail.com with the details.

The Yehoodistrators would like to thank to dancestore.com, savoystyle.com, You Should Be Dancing!, Dance Manhattan, ALHC, Laura Jeffers and Margaret Batiuchok for being so generous with their donations!

Frim Fram is held every Thursday night at Club 412 (412 Eighth Avenue, 4th Floor) in New York City. There is a drop in lesson at 8 pm taught by Heather Flock and dancing from 9pm- 1am.

    Here are more details!

    Celebrate 12 years of Yehoodi.com on Thursday, October 21st! It’s hard to believe that 12 years ago in a garage in Queens, that a scrappy Manu Smith and a scruffy Frank Dellario thought, ‘There has to be a better way to disseminate Larry’s List!’ And thus, Yehoodi.com was born.

    In the 12 years that followed there have been all kinds of changes in the Lindy Hop world, but we’re really proud that Yehoodi has been there for all of them.

    To celebrate, we’re going to have a no-holds barred Frim Fram featuring Yehoodistrator DJs Lilieblue, Effervescent, Frankyboy, Rikomatic and Swifty spinning tunes for your dancing pleasure. The extra room will be open on the other side for people to catch up and have more space to dance and throughout the night we will be giving away prizes, serving cake and hosting the craziest dance competition ever seen in New York since the Harvest Moon Ball!

    I just read this in a Kermit voice - you know, like he'd use to announce guest on the Muppet Show.

    Quick question; will admission prices be higher for this event vs. normal Fram? And if so, is there a student discount? Thanks!

    Can't believe I've been 'here' for all of them. Only missed attending the ones when I was out of town (2, I think). Has it been that long? Scary. :)

    I keep thinking we're saving up for a big 15th anniversary blowout somewhere fancy on the weekend, but was reminded recently that we could totally make a bar mitzvah.

    Some new info about the contest! This is meant to be a community contest, and we believe that everyone has something to bring to the competition, and in that spirit, please know that in addition to the already amazing Grand Prizes for dancing, the judges will be given leeway to award prizes to couples right there on the dancefloor including gift certificates from dancestore.com as well as other prizes that we have stashed away.

    What will they be giving out prizes for? I can't speak for the judges, but let's imagine for a moment each of them might reward...

    I think Frankyboy should award a prize for best plaid flannel shirt. Bonus points if wearer also kind of resembles Frank himself...

    Wouldn't be a fair contest - already spoke with the doppelganger and told him what to wear.
