We’re setting up a special kind of new workshop where all of the focus will be on the followers. What’s more, you’ll be dancing with high level leaders during the workshop. So not only will you have the instruction of the teacher, you’ll also have experienced dancers as partners who can help you to master the subtleties of Lindy Hop technique.

And opportunity for Advanced followers to be remunerated for helping to: Encourage and motivate “young” leaders, Nurture their abilities to help them move up in experience level, Teach them to properly care for their followers, Motivate more leaders to keep dancing once they’ve started.

Make some pocket money ($20 for 2 hours) while dancing with lovely new followers and helping to welcome them to the community. Not a bad deal!

This is a fun cover of Frank Sinatra’s Ring-A-Ding Ding. I particularly wanted to choose something by John Pizzarelli in order to draw your attentio to his excellent radio program on Sunday mornings on Jazz FM.

In April, May & June we’re offering a special on private lessons for Beginner dancers. Save $10 or $35 on for lessons!

Yesterday marked the 1st annual Toronto Vintage Easter Parade and it was a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone who participated!

I couldn’t think of any Easter swing songs but this is a great spring song!

Thank you SO MUCH for your hard work and the incredible results that amounted Saturday’s three performances of The History of Swing…

Perhaps Ella’s first truly big break out song, this is a definite swing era classic. It’s a very simple, naive song, but that’s part of its beauty.
