Learn Lindy Hop With Lynn and Paul of South West Swing

 photoLynn and Paul Thornton have been dancing Lindy Hop, as well as modern jive, for many years in the south west region and are known for their distinct style of swing jive dancing. Paul also DJs as "Zoot" Thornton for jive and swing dances and Lynn sings in several bands, including her own swing jive band called Just Misbehavin'.

They started teaching they own particular style of lindy hop / jive fusion at monthly Sunday workshops in 2008, but these had to stop in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and UK lockdown restrictions.

Unfortunately, due to work and general life changes, Lynn and Paul have not been able to continue their lindy hop workshops and there are no plans to restart them.

Thank you everyone who attended our workshops over the years and don't forget you still have access to the associated revision / demonstration videos on YouTube via the links below using the password provided to you in any of the workshop video emails.

We still get out dancing occasionally, so please come up and say hello if you see us.
