The Teachers
Naomi Uyama:
Naomi Uyama discovered lindy hop in her hometown of Washington DC over eleven years ago. For the past decade she has taught workshops all around the world and performed for dance and music legends alike. She has won champion titles at such prestigious competitions as the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown, the American Lindy Hop Championships, and the U.S. Open Swing Dance Championships. When she's not traveling in the name of triple steps, decorating cakes, or loving libraries, Naomi lives in D.C. and spends most of her life not being Nina Gilkenson, despite the large amounts of people that think she is.
Skye Humphries:
Originally pressured into taking Lindy Hop classes by his mother at the tender age of 12, Skye soon found that social dancing really is the best thing in life. Over a number of years he has performed, taught, and competed both nationally and internationally, gaining recognition as a talented and dedicated dancer. As a competitor, he has earned top titles including the American Lindy Hop Championships, U.S. Open and World Lindy Hop Championships. Originally from Ithaca, NY, Skye now travels the globe spreading his love of the dance. He has evolved a style of his own which has been the inspiration of many dancers on the scene today. Plus he has a tremendous positive energy which is infectious! We are by the way starting to consider him part Swedish/Danish and we are happy to welcome him back to Copenhagen for the second time teaching!
Watch Skye & Naomi here.
Catrine Ljunggreen:
Catrine Ljunggren, aka "Cat", is a dance teacher, performer and choreographer specializing in Swing & Lindy Hop, Tap, Jazz, and Argentine Tango.

Elliott Donnelley:
Since 2002, Catrine and Elliott have taught at many camps and workshops around the globe. Together they are known for their enthusiasm and for a style of Lindy hop that draws it's inspiration from old clips of the Harvest Moon Ball. Elliott Donnelley wears many hats.

She graduated from the three-year professional dancers program at Ballet Academy of Stockholm in 2006. Now she is dancing, singing and choreographing in “Passion” at Wallman´s Copenhagen. Hanna together with Mattias Lundmark joined The Rhythm Hot Shots, that later became Harlem Hot Shots, in the late 90´s.

Sinclair Ang:
Having discovered Lindy Hop just before the turn of the century quite by accident, Sinclair has since been a leading figure in the Lindy Hop communities in Singapore and Asia, helping the various scenes to grow. Although based in Singapore, with classes for adults and kids, as well as occasional projects with special interest groups like the hearing-impaired, he is also a popular instructor at several workshops across Europe (teaching in Copenhagen for the third time) and the Asia-Pacific region. He has trained, choreographed and performed for several performance groups, and is no stranger to television as well, having choreographed and performed for commercials and documentaries.Sinclair will partly be teaching jazz classes and partly be teaching Lindy Hop classes together with Hanna.
