THE CENTURY BALLROOM PROUDLY PRESENTS
The Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap 2008!
Calling all Young Talent!
We are looking for performers for the 2008 Young Talent Showcase.  Click here for details.

Whether you've been dancing for years or never stepped on a dance floor in your life, we have something for everyone.  Many of the workshops are ideal for beginners.  We are again gathering the pioneers of Lindy Hop and Tap to celebrate their contributions, listen to their stories, and learn from their experience.   This is a unique opportunity for Seattle's dancers (and non-dancers!) to meet and dance with the legendary figures who crafted these dances.   We'll unite the new generation of dancers and the founders to enjoy, learn from and inspire each other.  

Here is a five minute video of highlights from the 2006 Masters of Lindy Hop & Tap:


For more video, The Seattle Channel posted a feature on us.

Join us at the Century Ballroom as we bring together the greatest Lindy Hop and Tap legends in the world to teach, perform and reminisce in an awe-inspiring weekend of jazz dance old and new. Confirmed for 2008 are:

Barbara Billups
Skip Cunningham
Dawn Hampton

A note about Frankie:  As many of you know, Frankie recently received a new hip. We are pleased to announce that the doctors have now cleared him to fly, so he will be able to join us in August. Because he is still recuperating, he will not be teaching workshops, though he will be participating in panel discussions and other events.
