The Queen's Swing Club is proud to present Geoff and Andréa from Ottawa, Ontario for a weekend of non-stop dancing.

They'll be teaching Lindy Hop Saturday 22 Nov and Balboa Saturday 23 Nov. All classes guaranteed to kick your dancing level up a notch!

Here at Queen's, just about everybody's from out of town. If you need a place to stay in Kingston we'll set you up. Please contact Hillary Wilson as soon as possible if you want to stay with us.

Swing Club members, here's your chance to get to know all sorts of dancers from out of town! If you have some spare room and wouldn't mind shacking up a fellow dancer or two, please contact Hillary immediately.

Geoff and Andréa are back for double the fun in 2003!

Geoff Dinsdale

Geoff Dinsdale has been partner dancing for the last 8 years, dancing east coast swing since 1998, and has been teaching Lindy since 1999. He has learned from the best international instructors and has performed at many venues and events. Bottom line is, he loves Lindy. Geoff has a kick ass style and he makes learning Lindy fun!

Andréa Pelletier

Andréa Pelletier's love affair with dancing started when she was a young girl dancing in her living room. She was able to persue this passion when she started Irish dancing 6 years ago. Since then, she has done East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Balboa and belly dancing. She has learned both Lindy Hop and Balboa from numerous internationally renowned teachers over the years; she now teaches in Ottawa with her partner Geoff and is loving it!

Please note that all classes will be held at Bodyworks Health and Fitness
