for all things Swing-Jive,
Lindy Hop, 1940's & 1950's
|
Esther & David have for a long time been long-established teachers of
Swing Jive, Lindy Hop and Balboa in classes covering Suffolk & beyond.
They are now no longer offering such classes, but will continue to host
regular Wednesday evening social / practice sessions at Stratford St. Mary,
plus organise Stomps & Tea-dances, and attend other venues.
David — a.k.a. "Texas Tommy" is one of the few dedicated 1940's / 1950's Swing DJ's in
East Anglia, & is available to hire for anything with a 1940's or 1950's theme, including Dances,
Private Parties, Proms, Weekend Events, etc. You can hire just the DJ, or the full package where
we decorate your chosen venue with period flags & bunting, to give it that authentic 40's or 50's feel.
Esther is an accomplished seamstress, with years of experience in reproducing period clothes
for both men & ladies on the 1940's / 50's scene, where she trades as "Esther's Originals"
David & Esther both love to wear period clothes, & are seldom seen out wearing anything modern.
