Todd Yannacone is a distinguished figure in the world of dance. He has taught Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag, Charleston, Vernacular Jazz, and other jazz era dances both nationally and abroad since he was 16. His love and appreciation for various forms of swing dancing allow him to bring innovative versatility to the dance floor while simultaneously respecting the roots of each dance.
A proud member of the Camp Hollywood Hall of Fame and two time California Swing Dance Hall of Fame inductee, Todd holds a myriad of championship titles from the International Lindy Hop Championships, European Swing Dance Championships, Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown, and Lone Star Championships - to name a few.
His demand as an instructor, performer, and judge has taken him to hundreds of festivals spanning 32 countries and five continents. Todd specializes in connection and musicality, which is apparent every time he steps on the dance floor. He has worked with dance and music legends alike - from Frankie Manning to Aretha Franklin - and was a member of the acclaimed dance troupe, the Silver Shadows.

________
Born and raised in New York City, the birthplace of Lindy Hop, Dianne Eramo has been joyfully swing dancing since 2000. Over the past two decades, she has traveled the world to connect with the global swing dance community, competing, teaching, and social dancing.
Along the way, Dianne has been lucky to learn from—and dance with—many of the original Lindy Hop legends who helped shape the dance we love today, as well as many of the top modern-day Lindy Hop instructors. This deep connection to Lindy Hop’s roots and the broader global community fuels her passion for the dance and sharing its rich history with her students.
Dianne’s classes focus on connection, rhythm, musicality, and the spirit of improvisation that makes Lindy Hop so special. Whether you’re brand new to swing or looking to level up your skills, she is excited to help you discover the joy of swing dancing.
