The following program has been delayed from its original broadcast time

In November of 2008 I was up in Mainz for the 9th Swing & Boogie party, an event which was covered by some regional reporters. I missed out on seeing the report they did, but as my Aunt works for the same media organisation I asked her to rustle up the footage for me. A little over 15 months later she came through:


Please bear the following in mind: 

@2:18 We aren't dancing Lindy Hop here, but Charleston. However, the gist of the information is correct.

@2:40 The link between the financial crisis and swing dancing is non-existent; any suggested linkage by interviewees is the result of leading questions by the reporter (she really hammered that angle).

@3:16 Couldn't they have chosen a move I pulled off properly? :-(
