October 15-17, 2010 better be on your calendar, because it's going to be an amazing weekend!
OFFICIAL ROCKTOBER 2010 WEBSITE
Kevin St. Laurent and Jo Hoffberg - Pittsburgh, PA (and lots of other places)
Hilarious, high energy, and great technicians of Lindy Hop. With their blend of comedic yet intensely effective teaching, they prove that you can have your cake and eat it too! They were a blast last year and we're very excited to have them back again!
Patrick Szmidt and Natasha Ouimet - Montreal, Canada
This pair is not super well-known in the US (yet!) but we think they're the NEXT BIG THING on the international scene! They're energetic performers and dedicated to growing Lindy Hop around the world. As instructors at Studio 88 Swing in Montreal, Patrick and Natasha are part of an elite team of Lindy Hop masters. Montreal is well known for the quality of its dancers and we look forward to introducing that influence to the midwest, so we can be dreamy too!

They've even been featured on Canadian television! Look!
Jon Tigert and Caitlin Baird - Indiana
Jon and Caitlin have the important role of addicting newbies to the Lindy Hop - they're teaching the beginner track at Rocktober. We are confident that after you've had your first experimentation with Lindy Hop from these two, we'll probably be seeing you again real soon ;)Jon and Caitlin travel extensively and you may recognize them from all the Jack & Jill finals they bumped you out of. They are on a team of rockstars called The Hoosier Hotshots, that has been known to win competitions after only 4 practices or in spite of living in a variety of cities and spraining ankles in the middle of their routines. That's pretty damn rockstar. ish. (darn you, Hotshots!!)
