Kerry Genese

Instructor of Saturday Classes

Kerry began her Lindy Hop journey in the fall of 2006 at The College of New Jersey. Soon after, she discovered social dancing and the dance community in Philadelphia. She fell in love. She has since moved to Philadelphia to dance and has volunteered for the last two years as an organizer and teacher for the organization Lindy and Blues. LaB (www.lindyandblues.com) runs several weekly dances and annual events in Philly. It's purpose is to promote, support, and grow the swing dancing community in Philadelphia.

Teaching is an integral part to how Kerry expresses her connection and love for the scene. She wants nothing more than to share what she does know, help others find the answers to the things she doesn't, and happily exude a love of dance.

Graham Hunter

Instructor of Saturday Classes

Graham started swing dancing as a freshman in college in 2002 and he was hooked. From there he moved to LA, learned from some of the best dancers in the country and danced almost every night of the week. It wasn't long before he started travelling nationally and competing. In 2009 he moved to Philadelphia and began helping to organize dances and events for Lindy and Blues, our local dance organization (where he met Kerry).

Graham's love of teaching stems from his affinity for breaking concepts into their fundamental elements. His teaching methods include incorporating tons of analogies and using students' backgrounds to relate to swing dancing. He still knows that it's all about having fun though.
