Angelica Hesse ... remember her? Angelica owns Yellow Pants Studio and taught in Albany for several years — then she decided to move to Oregon. She gets really excited about learning and teaching lindy hop. She also gets excited about tango, about connection ... and about anything that accidentally sounds dirty ;)
Ben Loper has been criss-crossing the continent in search of more learning, competitive, and social dance opportunities for the past three years. He currently performs and competes as a member of Boston’s T Token Swing dance team.
Ben Oaks-Lee is our resident charleton pro. He has taught swing dancing for the past 5 years first in Hamilton and then Albany, New York. He has also taught workshops in various places in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. His teaching and dancing focus on connection, technique and musicality.
Marc-Andre Vachon + Diana Byrne: Diana enjoys teaching students how to refine their connection with their partners as well as emphasizing subtleties in the music with body movement. Marc-Andre is known for his CRAZY MOVES, but also for his immense creativity and musicality on the dance floor. Together they simply just ... Misbehave!
Noelle Gray: With a diverse dance background spanning 20 years, Noelle is among the best leaders and followers in Connecticut. SheÕs also a spectacular teacher, and a very funny person.
