The Hep Cats will show the musicians and the new dancers what genuine Swing dancing is all about, and we will provide easy, fun instruction in this exciting dance that is sweeping North America and Europe. Dancing is not about feet and steps. It's about connecting with your partner and playing with the music. Energy, soul, improvising, syncopating, spontaneous choreography. The musicians inspire the dancers and the dancers inspire the musicians.
Classic Blues dancing is the easiest way to get started - simple, sultry, and sensuous.
Once you're in tune with your partner and the rhythm, Swing dancing is a cinch. Peter Renzland dances, organizes, and teaches various forms of traditional social dance - from Alpine to Zydeco. His focus is on authentic Afro-American Jazz dance, such as the Lindy Hop , the original Swing dance , as well as the Charleston and the Black Bottom, forerunners of the Lindy Hop. The Hog Town Hep Cats are a group of Toronto Lindy Hop dancers. They danced in Bruce MacDonald's Elimination Dance , a film based on a poem by Michael Ondaatje.
