THE LONDON
SWING CATS
Authentic Lindy Hop & Jitterbug
from the 1940s
The London Swing Cats is run by teachers, dancers and choreographers Robert & Claire Austin.
Robert and Claire Austin are former UK Lindy Hop Champions and have placed fourth
in two World Championships.
Over the last few years their work in videos for some of the biggest selling pop artists have led to regular appearances on TV screens all across the globe.
They also manage and choreograph the HOLLYWOOD HOPPERS, Lindy Hop troupe who perform
all across the UK.
They have been featured many times on Television, in Film and in
the National Press including:
"A Little Less Conversation" Elvis vs JXL Pop Video (see opposite)
"Top of the Pops"
"Murder
on the Dance Floor" Sophie Ellis Bextor Video
"Last of the Blonde Bombshells"
"Mojo"
(choreographers)
"Des O'Connor Show" with "The Cherry Poppin' Daddies"
"This Morning"
"Party of a Lifetime" "The Big Breakfast"
London Tonight, Sky News, CNN,
BBC Newsroom
South East,
BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4,
Mojo Magazine, Sunday Times Magazine, The Times,
Daily Telegraph etc.
In 2008 our work included arranging 120 dance extras for the film “Me and Orson Welles” and the choreography on the short film “Punch Drunk”. We also acted as Lindy Hop consultants on the hit West End show “Into The Hoods”.
The London Swing Cats hold classes and workshops in Central London.
We specialise in Hollywood Style Lindy Hop which was danced in
Los Angeles from the late 1930s.
It is also the style featured in many of the Hollywood movies from the period. We also teach related dances including Harlem Style Lindy Hop, Charleston & Collegiate Shag.
