.

Your Instructors:


Andrea Byrnes began taking dance classes in primary school where she fell in love with Irish step dancing. She performed, competed, and taught Irish dancing for over two decades. She began studying Lindy Hop in Durham, North Carolina during graduate school. After moving to Boston in 2014, Andrea dove into Lindy Hop at New School Swing, and later at Boston Lindy Hop. Eventually, her swing dance curiosities led her to Charleston, Balboa, and Authentic Solo Jazz, St. Louis Shag, Collegiate Shag, and of course more Lindy Hop. Since then, she’s traveled to numerous swing dance festivals, competitions, and workshops. As a student and teacher, Andrea loves rhythm, music, and focused practice. She strives for expressive, athletic dancing and loves sharing and evolving ideas with other dancers.

Andrew Selzer began swing dancing and teaching at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) Swing Dance Club. A native of Southern California, Andrew had a unique swing dance upbringing, learning and dancing on both coasts of the United States. These days he is the owner and director of Boston Lindy Hop, where he continues to teach. He has almost 15 years of teaching experience between weekly series classes and weekend workshops. In addition, he has had the privilege of dancing around the world and those experiences have provided him with a smorgasbord of influences to draw upon in a classroom setting. When it comes to teaching, Andrew has three priorities: partnership, musicality, and self-expression. In addition to his dance experience, he also plays clarinet in the jazz band, the River Street Six. To learn more about Andrew check out his webpage andrewselzer.com.


Your Musicians:


In the Spring of 2014 trumpet player and bandleader, Sam Dechenne, formed a traditional Jazz quartet to participate in the growing re-vitalization effort of Boston’s Downtown Crossing district. Since then, this strolling “Pocket Jazz Band,” called The Late Risers, has brought traditional 1920-1940s era Jazz to the streets and corners of downtown Boston and all over the world. Over the years they have integrated with the lives of people who live, work, travel, and go to school in this bustling metropolitan neighborhood and have become a beloved institution.

The Late Risers perform "hot Jazz" music of the 1920s-40s, covers of popular modern tunes and original compositions. Whether playing at night clubs, swing dances, Great Gatsby-themed costume events, parties, weddings, or while strolling the streets of Boston, the Late Risers elicit smiling faces and dancing feet from their audiences. Simply put, their music brings people together.

.

The Late Risers will be joined by Boston native, Sonya Rae Taylor! A rising star with a blend of gifts rarely found on the blues-rock and soul scene today, Sonya's dazzling musical ability is immediately evident through her soaring vocals, scorching guitar work and savvy song-craft. She has been likened to a “fiery female combination of Warren Haynes, Bonnie Raitt and Amy Winehouse” Always backed by a masterful group of musicians including guitar phenom (husband) Ryan Taylor, she and her band are quickly becoming one of the most sought after acts on the scene today.
