Festival of Vintage

Red and Ginger both love dancing and sharing it with other people, either through what they know or just a dance floor. They believe the real essence of vintage dance is about having fun.

One of the most popular dancing duos on the scene, they're known for their joyous, stylish and often fast Lindy hop dances and for their friendly, relaxed and humorous approach to teaching. Learn Jitterbug Stroll & Partnered Charleston with them on the Saturday of the Festival

A-Train Swing consists of husband and wife team, Ian (aka Windy) and Janet who have been on the vintage scene for the past 17 years embracing and promoting the Golden Age of Swing. DJ Windy is not only a Swing DJ, in addition they organise their own dance events and also get hired to add sophistication and style to private and corporate events and parties.

Ian & Janet are pleased to be able to pass on some of their dancing knowledge and will be teaching Balboa at this years Festival of Vintage. No need for any previous experience, the lesson will be aimed at absolute beginners to get you moving on that dance floor before the weekend is over.
