I
can't say enough about these two: they're amazing and I am totally
in awe of them. I've been to a couple of events where they've
taught and I've got nothing but good things from them. They don't
just concentrate on cool things, but do great work with fundamentals,
especially connection. If they're at an event near you, go.
Now.
I
can't think of anyone else that truly symbolizes the spirit of swing
better than Dawn Hampton. The enthusiasm and energy contained in
her philosophy on swing is a wonderful thing to experience.
This
guy just knows his musicality and music theory. I've only had one
class with him, but it's made such an impact in how I listen to the
music and how I work with phrasing and the different styles of lindy
music.
I
know these two went their separate ways long ago, but they were still
one of my favorite teaching pairs. Not only did they
have a great sense of humor, but they made an extra effort to ensure the
students get something out of the class. Their strong focus on
breaking down the fundamentals (playing with different ways to do the
1-2, the 5-6, etc) was so much fun. And they had a tendency to
jump into the rotation! Very cool.
