Swing is a kind of jazz music that originated in America in the early part of the 20th Century. In the late 1920s to the 1950s Swing bands were hugely popular throughout the USA and the world. These bands would play in places such as the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem , New York , which occupied an entire city block, and hundreds of people would come to dance Lindy Hop and other Swing dances. The most popular and successful Swing bands were the bands led by greats such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman, and featured singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Jimmy Rushing.

Lindy Hop is a kind of social partner dance born in the late 1920s. It is an eight count dance which often features the air moves for which Swing Dancing is famous. In an air move, one of the two dancers flies into the air, often including impressive flips and turns, or else slides along the floor in equally acrobatic maneuvers. The dance has several variations and styles, some fast and energetic, some slow and slinky.

Becky and Jacques met 6 months ago on a dance floor in Hong Kong, introduced by a mutual friend who thought they would dance well together. They instantly clicked and have been dancing together socially ever since.

Becky has also been living in Hong Kong for just over a year. She started dancing in her native London about 5 years ago. Benefiting from the diversity of the salsa scene in London, Becky learned various styles of salsa and very quickly became addicted. She loves dancing with anyone who shares her energy and enthusiasm for salsa and enjoys the variety and challenge of dancing with leaders who have different styles. She has been inspired by some fantastic teachers over the years, and has learnt much from sharing knowledge and ideas with her dancing partners and friends. Over the last few months Becky has enjoyed being introduced to a different way of dancing Bachata by Jacques, encouraged by his infectious passion and smile!

Jacques comes from Switzerland, though his family are Spanish and Venezuelan. Jacques started dancing in Geneva, where he first learnt salsa from Colombians and Cubans teaching in the city. He developed his style over many years of dancing in clubs and has incorporated elements of dance that he has picked up on his travels. He was inspired by the style of Bachata he saw on a trip to the Dominican Republic, with its complex footwork and fluid movement and has developed his own way of expressing the music. Jacques arrived in Hong Kong a year ago and when he is not dancing, works as an architect.

Jacques and Becky will be demonstrating a style of dancing Bachata rarely seen in Hong Kong – fast, flowing, funky, and most importantly; fun!

Albert Chung has been dancing since 1995 which includes West Coast Swing, Hustle, Night-Club 2-Step, Country 2-Step, Salsa and Argentine Tango.  West Coast Swing is one of his favorite dances because it can be danced to practically any type of music such as Pop, Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues, Country, Latin, Funk, Reggae, etc.  It is also one of the most flexible and versatile dances as it allows more freedom for creativity and expression compared to most other dances.  Albert is currently traveling for the next 2 to 3 years and is visiting  Hong Kong to see friends but also to check out the Salsa & Tango scene.

Currently, she is focusing on other dances like Argentine Tango.  To challenge herself even further, she recently learned  West Coast Swing which she will be demonstrating with Albert in both night show cases.

De Kai is a very talented percussionist who was invited to play in the Latin Passion Festival in 2005 along side with all world famous musicans like Aldo de Bongo and Gabbbard, Victor Geronimo etc...

Born in St. Louis, De Kai has resided and played in Chicago, San Diego, Berkeley, New York, Washington DC, Toronto and Munich.  He has been playing since he was four years old, growing up steeped in the rich blues tradition along the Mississippi.  In the Andalucian region of Spain he discovered a kindred spirit to blues in the complex rhythms and cathartic song of flamenco.  Apart from the cajon (the flamenco box) and other percussion, he also performs on keyboards and piano.  For the past ten years, he has lived happily in Hong Kong, performing in a wide range of styles ranging across pop fusion, blues/funk, soundtracks, world fusion and pure flamenco.

It is our honour to have De Kai to play his unique music instrument Cajon (Box)
