The Worldwide Lindy Links

Many of us travel all over the place for big dance parties (called exchanges) or competitions, where the local dancers of a city open their homes and refrigerators to out-of-town guests.

Big Camps and Workshops

Herräng Dance Camp
This is probably the dance camp to end all camps. It's a month long workshop in Sweden where you get to meet thousands of dancers accross the globe!

Swing Out New Hampshire
5 days at a beautiful camp in New Hampshire. All the top Instructors. Dancing every night until dawn. Go there.

Lismore Swing Connection
This is the largest swing event in Australia. It's five days and six nights of awesome Australian energy!

Beantown
This is another standard camp that has been running for years. It takes place in Beverly, Massachusetts.

Great Southwest Lindyfest
This one is a standard and it's right down the road in Houston, TX. It's just a weekend long and it brings together all of the big name dancers from accross the globe.

Teachers We LOVE!!

Frankie Manning
You cannot look up a histroy of swing without running into this guy. He is the original, he was there when it all happened, he INVENTED the ARIAL and he still teaches! He has benefitted the lindy community in more ways than we can say and we are lucky to have him.

Steven and Virginie
Steven & Virginie are known for their extremely innovative style, improvisation and musicality. They share the love of dance, have exceptional musicality, and are constantly looking for new and creative ways to teach which is truly inspiring and leaves Lindy Hoppers everywhere hungry for more.

Paul and Sharon
These guys are amazing. They have a calm and powerful style with fantastic awareness of musicality and their partner. Plus they can break something down until it's just common sense.

Bill Borgida
He is actually one of ours now! After years of saying he would, Bill has finally moved to Austin and frequently teaches in town.

Misc

Dancestore.com
This is a great place to get Aris Allens, clothes, hats, and all sorts of goofy singin' stuff.

The Rusty Zipper
A cool online Vintage Clothing Shop that has a great search engine that allows you to search by men/women, size, price, decade, and others. Worth a look. Prices range from dirt cheap to really expensive.

Yehoodi
Here is a nationwide lindy discussion board where you can talk about music, or what workshop you're traveling to, or even what random place you're vacationing to see what lindy hoppers will be there.
