Jane focuses especially on the social aspect of Lindy Hop and when she dances she makes the concept of following into an art.
David started ballroom dancing in 1991. In 1993 he added bugg to his repertior, a dance in which he, besides teaching, managed to mess up several talented girls competition careers. In 1998 he took the ultimate step and progressed to Lindy Hop at the Herrang dance camp. Ever since Lindy Hop has been his dance of choice and he has been teaching it for several years at HepTown in Lund and at the West Coast Jitterbugs in Gothenburg.
Both Jane and David have a true love for, and a strong addiction to social dancing. They very much enjoy teaching and to help others discover the unique joy and positive energy that is created on a Lindy Hop dance floor.
