Perth Lindy Jam 2018
Returns For Its Tenth Year!
On 17th – 19th August 2018 the Perth Lindy Jam is back! PLJ is three days of crazy fun dancing alongside fantastic workshop classes taught by world class teachers. Each year Swing It prides itself on inviting the best teachers in the world to come and teach at Perth Lindy Jam and this year is no different…
Perth Lindy Jam Teachers…
Who are your teachers this year? Well I’m very excited to say that the teachers this year are the dynamic teaching couple Henric & Joanna from Sweden!!
This wonderful couple have been teaching and dancing around the world for years. Both are Boogie Woogie, Swedish Bugg and Lindy Hop Champions (way to be amazing guys!) and have been regular teachers at the Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden.
Given they’re Swedish it goes without saying that they’re incredibly friendly (they are) but they’re also fantastic teachers; whenever I see them teach I’m always amazed at the creativity of their moves and material. If one thing is certain, it’s that you’ll be coming away from this weekend with a LOT of cool moves.
What do you get?
World Class Instruction
You’ll be given the opportunity to spend two days learning from two of the best. 8 hours of dancing and learning in an intensive way that’s guaranteed to push your dancing to another level. Henric & Joanna’s classes will cover a range of topics to give you a taste of everything they have to offer.
A Social Dancing Smorgasbord
Each night of PLJ you’ll be able to social dance it up with all of your friends and Henric & Joanna! Three nights of dancing featuring Perth’s best DJs plus the chance to dance with the weekend’s instructors.
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.
