Seattle Lindy Exchange 2009 : This year was the 10th anniversary of the Seattle Lindy Exchange and I had the honor of covering it as the official event photographer. If you like what you see, consider supporting my work by buying a print or a download of a photo. All prints and downloads will not include the watermark at the bottom of the photos. From the SLX '09 website: As one of the oldest and longest running Lindy Exchanges in the country, the Seattle Lindy Exchange helped establish the format of what an “exchange” would be for many future exchanges throughout the country. The concept of the exchange really relied upon the idea of hosting out-of-town dancers to just come and… well… dance! No classes, no competitions… just lots of dancing, meeting new dancers from across the country (and across the globe!) and lots of great music! I'm available for hire, email me at jared at jaredlux dot com.

Portland Lindy Exchange 2009 : PDXLX is a lindy hop exchange held annually in Portland, Oregon. See the PDXLX website for more information. What is a lindy exchange, you might ask? According to lindyexchange.com, a lindy exchange is "when a city decides that it wants to open up its doors to Lindy Hoppers all over the world. Events are scheduled, performances are set, people offer to host visitors, and general merriment is had by all. It’s an incredible opportunity to visit a new city, dance with new people, build the Lindy Hop community, make new friends, and get little or no sleep! (Or something a lot like that....)"
