Lindyfest 2026 has come and gone, and we’re already counting down the days until we get to share the dance floor again with all of you lovely dancers. It’s you—our students, our teachers, our musicians, our staff, our crew, our competitors, our judges, our vendors, our friends—who make this event what it is. We’re grateful to all of you who joined us in Houston and put your trust in us to show you a weekend full of Lindy Hop magic. This recap’s for you! We hope it helps you relive all of the excitement for just a little bit longer!

When I drew Nathan's name out of that hat, I knew we were going to have a good time.

Aaaaand in my first all-star comp I learned I have a left arm and that I should do something about it.
Thanks for the opportunity, Lindy Fest, and thanks for the good time @andysrlee . Very fun to place 🥈 with you, alongside so many friends I adore and admire!

A gorgeous dance with @ursulahicks at @lindyfest ✨💛
So grateful and honored to be part of the crossover contest, and to draw Ursula as my partner! Our outfits were perfectly matchy, our grooves clicked right from the start, and everything just flowed 🥹
This contest feels like a celebration of all the beautiful dancers’ dedication and artistry. I’m proud to be part of it and to share my color in this space. I can’t think of a better way to begin the next chapter of my leading journey 💜
