I would list them individually here, but I wouldn't want to miss anyone. These cats are the pinnacle of swing skill in (or near) the Westerns New York area. If you have the time to go to Rochacha for classes, these are the people to learn from. If you are a Groove Juice instructor and would like your own listing here, please email the administrator.

Rob recently moved to Buffalo from Santa Fe where he taught balboa (and some lindy hop). Arlette has taught quite a bit of lindy. Both have invested heavily in improving their skills for years. Contact Rob about scheduling privates with one or both.

Venus moved to Buffalo from San Francisco where she taught, performed, and choreographed. She's very good. She won't be actively teaching until she and Mark are settled - hopefully sometime over the winter, they'll put together a class. I highly recommend her -Rob.

* There are lots of websites dedicated to west coast swing in the Buffalo area, but this site is the only one dedicated to Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Balboa, Charleston, & Shag. Lindy Hop refers to the most popular style (sometimes referred to as smooth style or "Hollywood") unless otherwise noted. Other styles include savoy and speed lindy. Charleston may refer to either partner or solo charleston and modern or 20's style.
