More About Me
Former professional Lindy Hop Teacher, Dancer and Choreographer. Won several UK titles and placed highly in a number of International Contests.
Taught mainly in London, but also across the UK, Europe and in the US.
Danced on TV, in Film and Theatre including some very high profile pop videos.
I gave up dancing a few years ago to pursue other interests but still have itchy feet.
Not interested in going back to teaching professionally, but would like to find a partner who wants to learn this dynamic and authentic 1930's/40's dance.
Really just for fun rather than profit, but may perhaps lead to doing some demos or workshops together in the future.
Would like to do a couple of sessions every week and at the moment I'm available week days and evenings.
Obviously, while the lock down is in place, it's not going to be possible, but hopefully start in a couple of months time when restrictions are relaxed.
I'm Looking For
I'm looking for a partner who is committed and has an appreciation for vintage music & styling.
Lindy Hop is a dynamic, aerobic and high tempo dance so a good level of fitness and core strength is important
I'm not that tall so I would probably want someone 5'7" or under and who weights less than 10 stone.
I am not going to stipulate an age limit, but bear in mind that Lindy Hop can involve lifts, throws, drops and acrobatic moves.
Obviously, I wouldn't show or teach these moves for quite some time, but would aspire to include some of these moves into our dancing much later.
I've just hit 60 so I'm no spring chicken, however, I have conditioned my body for this dance for over three decades.
If you have done Lindy Hop before then, it's an advantage, but I would start from the absolute basic regardless.
I would also welcome someone with previous dance experience either solo or in partner dances.
I have also found over the years that people who have never danced but have done martial arts pick up Lindy Hop relatively quickly.
I'm not interested in charging money for this, I doing this for my own pleasure and satisfaction.
You would obviously be responsible for your own travel costs and if we hired a dance space or a studio we would split the cost.
I may consider doing this with a more than one partner, but separately.
If you are interested or have questions or queries then please message me and I'm happy to discuss.
