I remember watching the film Singing In The Rain starring Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor when I was about four years old and constantly jumping around the house, pretending that I could dance… I think I may still be pretending. Being a dancer was never an ambition of mine, and it was only due to a persuasive friend convincing me to attend Swing Patrol’s first ever class in London that I discovered this amazing dance. Lindy Hop is a bizarre and surprising world with smiles, music, friends, travel and great pleasure. Later you will kick yourself that you never tried it sooner. Being a teacher for Swing Patrol is simply a pleasure however my first and foremost love is being a student and learning what ever I can of this soul fulfilling dance.
