A weekend of Lindy Hop dance classes and parties on the beautiful Isle of Wight. The event will take place at the Ocean View Hotel in Shanklin. We are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity for Lindy Hop dancers to come to the Island and experience being taught by Jenny.

Jenny trained at The Doreen Bird College of Performing Arts.

As a young student, having several All England Championship titles in Tap, Ballet & Modern dance under her belt, she went on to win *The US Open *American Swing Dance & *UK Open Lindy Hop Championships.

Starting her West End Debut in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Song and Dance with Wayne Sleep she continued to partner Wayne for the next 5 years in various shows, royal galas and guest appearances.

Jenny was introduced to Authentic Jazz Dances such as The Charleston, Blues & Lindy Hop back in 1992 for Anthony Van Laast’s European tour ‘Souls in Motion’ during which she was invited to join ‘Zoots and Spangles’ Authentic Jazz Dance Company.

Specialising in these niche dance forms has seen Jenny choreograph and perform all over the world. Jenny is currently BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing & UK’s leading Charleston & Lindy Hop Choreographer.
