Max Pitruzzella (France) and Annie Trudeau (Canada) form a very energetic and innovative swing dancing couple. They are based in Montreal where they teach at 'Studio 88 Swing' dance school and choreograph and train the 'Swinging Air Force', a performance dance company. They also compete and recently won 1st place at the last 3 International Lindy Hop Championships! World renown, they get invited around the globe to share their passion of swing dancing. Check them out on YouTube.com
Blair Crimmins and The Hookers are a swanky sounding, dirty south kinda band based out of Atlanta, GA. Blair's raspy, dark sounding growls are bound to make you grind, groove, and drag. While his chunky sounding band will make you rock out with a swing out or some flailing Charleston kicks.

Location:
Flying Monkey Arts Center, Lowe Mill, 2211 Seminole Drive, Huntsville, AL
