Kenneth and Helena are fantastic dancers
and immensely popular instructors. They have been Lindy
Hopping
together since 1988. As top competitors, their many wins
include the 1994 Swedish Championship and the 1997
World Lindy Hop Championship. They are founding members
of the
Swedish Swing Society and have taught at major events
throughout Sweden, the U.S. and Europe. With their own performance
troupe Shout and Feel It, they have appeared
on TV, throughout Sweden, and the U.S. Kenneth and Helena
are
known for integrating classic Lindy Hop into the ever-changing
trends in social dancing. Their classes emphasize connection,
technique and musicality. Besides being great teachers and
dancers, they are two of the nicest people you will ever
meet.
We have been fortunate to have Kenneth and Helena at Beantown
Lindy Hop Camp, but have wanted to bring them
to Massachusetts for workshops for a long time. Mark your
calendars, they are coming!

SHOES & BAGS: Please
be sure to bring clean dry sneakers (smoother soles have less
traction and are better, allowing for easy turning) or soft-soled
flat dance shoes. (Please, no hard soled, or black rubber
soled shoes that leave marks.) Please change shoes on the
entrance mat to help prevent outside wet, salt and grit from
getting on the wooden floor. Please leave all bags and street
shoes outside the gymnasium so as to maximize the dance space.
To get notified about these or future workshops, please ask
to be added to our mailing list.
