Disclamer: “Swing Remix has been a staple in Lindy Hop dancing in New York City since 2007. This dance was the brainstorm of two minds. Spencer Weisbond and Paolo “Pasta” Lanna up until March 2020. During the pandemic, laws were enacted to allow face-to-face social activities, (including partner dancing) to resume with strict legal guidelines with regard to mask wearing, social distancing, and vaccines.

Spencer, wanting to facilitate social dancing to continue started throwing outdoor dancing with strict adherence to these laws. Spencer repeatedly asked Paolo to rejoin.
Paolo told Spencer “I want nothing to do with vaccines or masks for myself or my dances”.
Paolo then described those laws as “discrimination like the Jews in the Holocaust, and as a Jew Spencer, you should understand." Paolo then abandoned the model.”
Thank you!
