The dancers I saw were in New York. There were quite a few of them - all in their late teens/early twenties. The only names I can remember are two of the men - Finian Makepeace and Skye Humphries (not names you can easily forget)

The team was called "Loose Change".

I believe they were doing Hollywood style (I'm sure Swing Swing Swing or Lindsay would know more). They were certainly doing pure lead & follow, and a lot of improvisation. I'm not a big fan on Lindy (not my style or music), but I really enjoyed watching them. The biggest difference was the complete absence of choreographed moves that seem to be the staple 'intermediate' steps of most Lindy dancers in the UK. Maybe this is changing now???
