Perth Lindy Jam 2016
On March 11th – 13th 2016 the Perth Lindy Jam returns!
The Perth Lindy Jam is a fantastic weekend of partying, dancing, learning and, basically, have the best time you can have in our crazy Lindy Hop world.
Who are the teachers this time? Well I’m VERY excited to announce the teachers as Skye Humphries and Marie Nahnfeldt Mattsson! Skye and Marie are two world class teachers and teach and compete together around the world. We’re incredibly lucky! (NOTE: The teachers were originally announced as Hasse and Marie but due to injury Hasse is unable to attend.)
What does the Perth Lindy Jam offer you?
World Class Instruction
You’ll be given the opportunity to spend two days learning from two of the best. Up to 8 hours of classes and learning in an intensive way that’s guaranteed to push your dancing to another level.
A Social Dancing Smorgasbord
Each night of the Perth Lindy Jam you’ll be able to social dance like crazy. Social dances, late night dances plus more!
A Weekend To Remember
There’s nothing quite like spending a whole weekend learning and dancing Lindy Hop. Not only does your dancing improve but you get to hang out with all of your Lindy friends and NERD OUT like crazy over this dance we all love. Lots of laughs, smiles and new friends.
