Lindy Hop w/Andrea Gordon — Andrea Gordon is a social dancer’s dancer. Lover of music, rhythm, connection, and the ability to express your individual style, Andrea started dancing in 2006 to supplement her need – not desire – for human connection. From that time until 2013, she traveled to dance and occasionally compete, placing at a number of Lindy Hop events across the country including first place in the 2013 ILHC Pro-Am with Mikey Pedroza, first place in the ILHC Strictly Open of the same year with Jack Chen, and first place in the 2014 Inspiration Weekend Lindy Hop Tournament with Matt Richey, where she exclaimed victoriously “…damn, this is about to get real hard…” and left on a pretty high note if you ask her. Now, she’s returned to the community to teach Lindy Hop at Atomic Ballroom with her award-winning partner Matt Richey. Best known as your favorite friendly registration lady and “that one girl from the video”, let Andrea regale you with stories about how she almost took a class with Frankie Manning, what she almost learned, and how she almost placed at Camp Hollywood, a story better than the one about actually placing at Camp Hollywood.

Lindy Hop w/ Matt Richey — Matt Richey has been dancing Lindy Hop since the tender age of 11. His dance career started with a performance team, including dancing on cruise ships and at Disneyland. In 2004 Matt attended Camp Hollywood for the first time and he quickly fell in love with what swing dancing can offer; not just Lindy Hop but all swing.

Tap Dancing w/ Matthew Pait — Matthew Pait is an avid jazz musician turned lindy hopper from the age of fourteen. Over a career spanning over 15 years of experience, he has taught throughout Germany, Italy, and Switzerland mentored many up-and-coming dancers and performed with many of the world’s top Lindy Hoppers.  After years of dabbling, his love of tap was fully realized under the tutelage of World Champion Jutta Maas while working in Germany. He has since consumed the majority of his practice time on diversifying and developing his advanced tap skill that flows wonderfully into his effusive and musical dance style. His favorite dancers and inspirations include Gregory Hines, Sammy Davis Jr, and the untouchable Jimmy Slyde. He won his first local competition at age 14 hosted by Nevada County Swing Society and was asked to dance for the local TV station to promote NCSS. He is currently teaching at Atomic Ballroom in California with Andrea Gordon and travels to many events around the world to teach, compete, and dance.
