KATE HEDIN (pronounced "Heh-DEEN") has instructed and performed extensively for Cleveland's Get Hep Swing as well as in workshops throughout America and in Europe. Aside from a love of both social and performance Lindy Hop, it is her passion to develop opportunities for follows in Balboa and learn every follow's footwork variation possible. Kate holds 1st place titles in the Eastern Balboa Championship's Invitational Jack & Jill (2004, 2006) and Intergalactic Strictly (2005), and the American Open Lindy Jack & Jill (2004). She is also proud to have held, along with her friends at Get Hep Swing in Cleveland, the Guiness World Record for longest dance party ever (52 hours, 3 minutes).

BOBBY WHITE has been a devout student of all things swing. Whitey's Lindy Hoppers' speed lindy, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, all styles of Lindy Hop, air steps, tricks and vernacular jazz, and choreography are all passions he has been pursuing since 1998. He also has a great love of teaching and hopes to pass along the enormous swing-inspired smiles that make people walk a good distance away from you on the street.
