Alexander C.

Alexander is the quintessential entrepreneur and Lindy Hop Swing Dancer. Both obsessions are avenues for his boundless energy. As a dancer, he is technical, emotional, fluid, melded, and fleet footed. As an instructor, he is exacting, fundamentally focused, connection oriented, communicative, and fun. Alex teaches both lead and follow in visual and physical dance. It's a strange and powerful alchemy of science and swing dancing.

For over 12 years, Alexander has been involved in swing dancing. Since the rebirth of swing dancing in the 1990's, he has danced in multiple scenes and has organized multiple events. He has learned from the greats such as Frankie Manning, Yuval Hod, Nathalie Gomes, Naomi Uyama, Nina Gilkenson, and Peter Strom. He is heavily influenced by the dancing of Max Pitruzella, Kevin St Laurent, , and Dax Hock. In the end, he has created his own style and presence. Alex has taught dancing at Columbia University, George Washington University, NYU, during multiple events, and had taught workshops in Hong Kong. His experience and his demeanor are trained on producing great dancers as well as casual social dancers. In his mind, the most important aspect of dancing is connecting with people.
