YOUR TEACHERS

Luke Healy

Luke's swing dancing journey started in March 2016 at a free intro class at North Perth, and has been dancing ever since! In 2018 he joined the Savoy Stomp performance team and started teaching in 2019. 

His favourite dance moment (so far) has got to be traveling to Sweden over Christmas and New Years with a group of friends to take part in the Snowball dance weekend!

Gemma J Frampton

Gemma's lindy hop career started in 2010, and since then she's swung out on dance floors across the globe, including the famous Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden. She's been teaching for the past 7 years, and brings so much energy, personality, and knowledge to whatever room she's in!

Having been part of multiple performance teams, one of her top dance moments has got to be dancing as part of a team at PIAF 2016 on stage with Ernie Dingo!

Frequently Asked Questions 

How much does it cost?
A single class will cost you $20, or you can by a Class Pass for $80 which is good for 5 classes.

What should I bring?
A water bottle, a comfy pair of shoes (maybe leave the heels for the social events), a sweat towel, and a smile! 
Change of shirt optional but recommended.

Do I need to bring a partner?
Nope, but the more the merrier! Because this is a social dance, we rotate partners throughout the class so everyone will dance with someone of a different skill level.

How does it work?
Level 1 is our beginner class. 5 weeks of content, each covering a fundamental part of the dance. Start any week, no matter what we're teaching, do them in any order! Once you've done all 5 classes, you can move up to Level 2!
Level 2 is our intermediate class, building on the basics you learned in Level 1. Extending moves, changing directions, extra turns, this is where the dance really comes alive! Different things every week.
Level 3 is our advanced class, open to you if you've been in Level 2 for 6 months or more. Here we play with a lot of the fundamentals like timing and connection, as well as really challenging what we can do as dancers. A great space to nerd out!

I have danced [insert dance style] before, can I skip the beginner lessons?
If you have danced before, you will understand how important knowing the fundamentals are, not only for your safety but that of your partner. The decision for a student to go to Level 2 before finishing all the beginner classes is at the sole discretion of the teachers.
