TEACHERS
DETAILS
Swing Toronto presents a Rockabilly Jive Bootcamp with Vicky Yeung!
Come to the Bootcamp, and then stay at La Plaza for supper, and for the Rockabilly Dance Party ft The Swingin’ Blackjacks!
Learn the basics of this dynamic dance in one afternoon (4pm to 6:30pm). It is fast paced, upbeat and typically danced to Rockabilly or 50s Rock ‘n’ Roll style music.
Note that Rockabilly Jive is not the same as American Jive/East Coast Swing, Ballroom Jive or what is taught in the Swing Toronto Rock and Roll Swing class.
Note that this workshop will have different material from previous Rockabilly Jive Bootcamps taught by Vicky.
Vicky added Rockabilly Jive to her repertoire during her stint as a teacher, coach and competitor at PortOSwing Ecole de Danse in Quebec City. It quickly became one of her favourite swing dances. She is excited to bring this wonderful dance back to Toronto.

This workshop is for dancers looking to jump right in and start dancing Lindy Hop.
Compared to our drop-in lessons at Saturday Night Swing, this workshop will be more in depth and cover a broader set of skills providing dancers with the fundamentals to feel comfortable and confident on the social dance floor. Both 6 and 8 count patterns will be explored in this class.
We know that not everyone’s schedule allows for weekly dance classes, especially in the summer. That is why we are offering Beginner and Intermediate Intensive Workshops!
