Come to Ottawa's biggest swing party yet! Swing Dynamite's looking to blow your mind yet again with a workshop with two of Canada's top swing teachers, and a dance with the TWENTY-strong cast of top jazz musicians, Big Band Caravane!
Want to push your Lindy Hop to the limit? This weekend has something for everyone:
Natacha Beausoleil (Montreal, QC) — One of Canada's top swing dance competitors, Natacha has choreographed and coached numerous popular numbers for the Swinging Air Force. She co-produced the SAF's most popular show, 100 Years of Swing, featuring an hour and a half of dancing! One of the Swinging Air Force's most popular teachers in Montreal and abroad, Natacha is first and foremost a passionate social dancer who has travelled across North America dancing. She's widely respected for her exquisite styling and rich improvisation, as well as her unique ability to break down movements for students.
Byron Alley (Ottawa, ON/Montreal, MI) — One of Canada's best-known swing dancers and teachers, Byron is most passionate about the interaction that Lindy Hop offers between two dancers. Byron's honoured to be partnered with Natacha yet again! After sharing many grueling practice sessions, fleeting competition awards and engaging teaching hours with Natacha, she's above all one of the teachers he respects and enjoys working with the most!
