Mike Pedroza and Laura Keat
Los Angeles, California and Denver, Colorado

Mike and Laura's unique, creative, and oftentimes downright zany style of dancing is always a treat to watch. Don't let their zaniness fool you though-- solid technique underlies all of their madcap tomfoolery. Together they were the open forum champions at the 2004 Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown. Individually, Laura won first place in the 2004 US Open Strictly Lindy Division, and was a finalist in the Hellzapoppin' competition last October in NYC. Mike has won numerous Jack and Jill competitions in Minnesota, Connecticut, Arizona, California and numerous other places around the US. Oh, and they also want you to know that they are nice people.

Los Angeles, California


Dancing for over 8 years, both Davina and Josh have established themselves not only as well known teachers and competitors, but also as great social dancers. Hailing from the infamous Old Memories of Orange County, their Lindy Hop is unique and classic and well rooted in learning from what the "old timers" have taught. Combined they've placed in numerous competitions nationwide and taught all over Southern California.
