About us
This dynamic duo have made swing dancing their passion since they each started dancing in late 1999. Anthony & Sarah joined together as a partnership at the end of 2002 and since then have worked hard to develop themselves as both dancers and teachers.
In terms of influences, these two consciously embrace the history of Lindy Hop with both their preferred music and dance style. They’ve studied dance footage from the 20’s right through the golden years of swing and aim to reflect the original styles in their own dancing. Through fast dancing, Aerials and Charleston, Anthony & Sarah are well known for their ability to ‘fly’ at faster tempos. With a love for 20’s hot jazz and 30’s big band swing, individually they’re also quite adept at solo Charleston and jazz dancing.
Aside from their weekly classes together in Melbourne, Anthony & Sarah have a wealth of workshop experience having each taught numerous workshops and classes in Victoria and interstate, including Sydney (including Sydney Swing Festival), Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart and Perth. Their teaching experience also extends to major USA events such as at Camp Jitterbug in Seattle, The Boston Tea Party and for Carla Heiney’s Swing Central in San Francisco.
For those of you that have already learnt from Anthony and Sarah, you’ll know that their classes revolve around building solid foundations in Lindy Hop technique with an unhealthy focus on fun. They emphasise feeling the music and adapting your dancing accordingly, using great partner connection, clear lead/follow communication and creativity. Anthony & Sarah have an extensive knowledge of general dance principles and use these to give their students a clear understanding of Lindy Hop and it’s evolution.
