Lindy Hop was created by the African-American people and
communities of Harlem, NYC. Perth City Swing recognises the importance
of preserving, cultivating and celebrating the roots of this historical dance.
Gemma's Lindy Hop journey began way back when in 2010. Since then, she has performed with multiple dance troupes and swung out on dance floors across the globe chasing the wide eyed smiles and good times that this phenomenal dance never fails to deliver.
Gemma has been been teaching since 2014 and loves to bring as much fun, passion, personality and knowledge as possible to whatever room she's in!
Kelly began swing dancing in 2015 when she was dragged to a class by some friends and she can honestly say that she’s been hooked ever since!
The dance, the music and the wonderful community it engages quickly had her dancing every night of the week, both at classes and out on the social floor. She soon joined a performance troupe and began teaching in 2018. This dance has brought so much joy into Kelly's life, she just loves that she gets to share it!
Luke's swing dancing journey started in March 2016 at a free intro class at our very own North Perth Town Hall and he hasn't stopped dancing since!
In 2018 he joined Perth's Savoy Stomp performance team and a year later he started teaching.
A lover of tap and solo jazz, Luke is full of fun and playful footwork. His warmth and relaxing energy as a teacher is an asset to every class he teaches!
Josh conquered his first swing dance class in 2016. He's the first to confess that he was instantly addicted and just two days and another class later he was cutting a rug on the social dance floor!
Josh has been teaching since 2019 and is a popular DJ in the Perth Swing Dancing scene. He loves nothing more than to nerd out about all things Lindy Hop and the authentic Big Band swing music that drives it!
