Nick Williams has embodied the passion and spirit of swing dancing ever since his first lesson in 1998. The depth of his understanding of Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Collegiate Shag stems from studying with the original dancers. Nick’s desire for authenticity, combined with his passion for dance evolution, leads to a style known for precision, lightness, musicality and dynamic energy.
His successes include World Lindy Hop Champion, US Open Swing Dance Champion, American Lindy Hop Champion, National Jitterbug Champion, International Lindy Hop Champion, Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown Champion, American Classic Balboa Champion, California Balboa/Swing Champion, and California Balboa Classic Champion
He is also an accomplished choreographer and has been featured on the hit television show So You Think You Can Dance. As an instructor, he is known for his ability to break down movements and technique to create a fun and light-hearted learning environment. His true love of music and dancing will forever inspire him to learn, teach, and grow. In 2004 and 2010, Nick was honored to be recognized by the California Swing Dance Hall of Fame.
For almost two decades Kate Hedin has taught Balboa and Lindy Hop around the world and holds almost every
major championship title in the modern Balboa era. As a teacher, Kate is passionate about pedagogy,
lead/follow mechanics as a way of expression, and follower voice as an integrated part of the dance. She is the
creator of several groundbreaking DVDs on Balboa Followers Technique and Aesthetics, as well as other online
lessons, which can be found at www.onlinebalboa.com, and is one of the scene's top Jewel McGowan experts.
She is also a highly sought-after judge and DJ.
When she is not teaching dance, she leads a secret double life as a Twitch streamer, that focuses on video
games as art, education, entertainment, and human connection. She is *always* ready to geek out about dance,
classical music (she has a degree in viola), trapeze, and video games, so please don't be intimidated by her quiet
demeanor and asymmetrical hair and ask her anything!
The content of the workshop is for intermediate and above students.
