These are older DVD sets but they show how the quality of Lindy has improved since 1993. Lots of WCS as well.

The 1998 event and it was GREAT! A special joy to see were the "Hand Dancers" from Washington DC.

1999 - This was a great event, hosted by John Riddle. Lots of great dancing. Masters Division, Teen/Adult Strictly Swing was added this year.
