Instructor: AJ HOWARD With nearly 10 years of experience, AJ takes the influences from Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles Lindy Hop scenes to bring his own unique style and energy to the Swing Dancing community……AJ has also had the honor of performing on stage for the debut run of “SW!NG OUT”… 8:30 Free Beginner Swing Class (open) Instructor: Margaret Batiuchok Margaret Batiuchok hard work, critical eye, creative drive, and love for dancing has inspired many. Beginning modern dance at age twenty, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance from California Institute of the Arts in 1978. She began dancing Swing in her early 30’s while a pre-med student at New York University. She met George Lloyd, an African-American “Savoy Ballroom 400 Club” dancer (twice her age) and just six months later they won the 1983 Harvest Moon Ball at Madison Square Garden. Margaret then began teaching, performing, promoting, producing, and writing about Lindy for the Swing Community….More 8:45PM LIVE MUSIC SWINGADELIC Swingadelic began in 1998 as the neo-swing movement was cresting. Upright bassist Dave Post gathered his jazz & blues playing friends together to play engagements at New York City’s Supper Club, Swing 46 and Windows On The World, the former restaurant atop of the World Trade Center.
