Jeff Booth
&
Marina Glezin
from Washington, DC
Saturday, October 13, 2001
Cambridge, MA
A Special Day of
Dean Collins Styling
|
From the Washington DC area, Jeff has
been dancing for more than four years. His focus and love
is swing era Lindy Hop. He has learned from studying the history
extensively, spending countless hours watching swing era dance
footage, as well as talking to many of the dancers from that
period. He placed in the 1998 American Lindy Hop Championships
and US Open Lindy divisions. He has taught in many
places around the country such as Detroit (Motor City Jam),
Philadelphia, Houston (H-Town, Great Southwest Lindy
Fest), Austin (Swing Riot), and of course, DC.
Jeff is teaming up with Marina, who recently
moved to DC from Santa Barbara, California. She has studied
extensively with Sylvia Sykes (who learned directly from Dean
Collins) and is well versed in Lindy Hop as well as Balboa.

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.
