Lucinda Knight (a.k.a. Lucy) is one of Australia’s most experienced lindy hop teachers and dancers. After teaching LeRoc for 5 years she discovered a style of dance that was lindy hop and has never looked back! In 1996 she started lindy hopping and attended Swing Camp Catalina off the coast of L.A.– taking lessons with the world’s top international lindy hop instructors. Since then she has been the driving force behind the swing scene in Brisbane, performing and teaching with Swing Tuit and Alive ‘n’ Swingin’. She has partnered Mattias Lundmark (The Rhythm Hot Shots) in Brisbane, as well as the Master himself Frankie Manning (Adelaide 2001, Brisbane 1997). Also Lucy has cruised the northern hemisphere expanding her knowledge of swing dancing – taking in Swing Camp Catalina (1996,1999), Dallas Lindy Hop Body Shop (1999) and Herrang Dance Camp (1999). Mark shares Lucy's passion for the Dance, Music and its roots, and although he has no dance training prior to taking up Lindy Hop, during his teens and twenties studied Martial Arts which has provided him with an excellent sense of balance and timing.

Vida and Peter are very serious about Lindy Hop, in a very silly kind of way. With a great passion for the swing era, including the music, fashion and the dance, they have been dancing and enjoying classic Lindy Hop since 1998, and teaching for the past two years. While they've choreographed and performed for events from private functions to TV shows to giant corporate gigs, their real joy comes from the interaction, styling and sheer fun of social Lindy Hop. They've been inspired by and studied with the likes of The Rhythm Hot Shots, Frankie Manning, and Ryan Francois, to name a few. After the fun and madness of teaching at last year's MLX, they can't wait to cut the rug in 2002.

Glenn & Rachael have been partner dancing for over ten years doing different styles - 50's Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly, Savoy Lindy Hop/Swing, Boogie Woogie & now their latest love Hollywood Style. Their dance experience includes a 6 year stage performance in a 50's style Theatre Restaurant, singing, acting & dancing. Competition has also played an important part in there dancing development and also various other performances over Melbourne. After sevens years Lindy experience they travelled overseas in 2000 to further their knowledge of the Swing Dance styles. They spent 4 weeks Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden studying Boogie Woogie & Lindy Hop then flew to L.A. to check out the movie capital of the world. The teachers and the social scene in L.A. blew their mind. Since returning to Melbourne they have begun teaching Hollywood style 3 nights per week with great success. Rachael & Glenn had the honour of performing with world swing champions Marcus & Bärbl in the Hollywood Downunder Dance Troupe. With all this experience they are just itching to pass it on.

Scott and Claudia believe they are two of the luckiest people in the world, because they teach, perform and work full-time with swing dancers!
They love what they do and their enthusiasm is contagious. As the founding Directors of Swing Patrol, they have been a driving force in the Melbourne swing scene for more than 4 years.
They captain a teaching team of 18 young passionate dancers, and invest much of their experience and energy into developing them so they too can share their love of swing with new dancers all over Victoria. Swing Patrol has more than 500 regular students, many of whom have blossomed into first class dancers. Scott and Claudia are well known for their fun classes, and their passion for fine frames. They have asked to teach "framework" at MLX because they believe "great connection is the secret to great dancing". Jump in if you want to learn how to "give good back!", counter-balance, and really connect with your partner. Scott and Claudia will share the secrets, and unlock a new world of possibilities for your dancing.
