A Social Dancing Smorgasbord
Each night of PLJ you’ll be able to social dance it up with all of your friends and Remy & Mo.

Last time Remy almost killed himself trying to dance with every follow…let’s see how he fairs this year.
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.

Remy Kouakou (France)
Remy has been teaching around the world for years at many of the most highly regarded Swing events. As an established competitor he has earned many international awards in several disciplines. His approach to Swing dancing is unique as it combines the authenticity and the respect of the dance with an originality and creativity inspired by his experience with many other styles of dance. More than anything he likes to share the joy that dancing provides; For him dancing is life and expression.
Moe Sakan (London)
Moe Sakan has had professional training in many types of dance, including jazz, ballet, tap and contemporary dance. In 1999 Moe fell in love with the Lindy Hop, since then this has been her dance of choice. An active social and competition dancer, she is proud to have won several UK and US competition titles. Well known as a vintage enthusiast, Moe is passionate about the music and fashion of the Swing era. Her dedication to the culture is also reflected in her attitude towards the dance, as she constantly endeavours to recreate an authentic style, and her passion certainly reflects the spirit of the dance as it was back in the day.
