We are so happy to see the turn up of dancers in a big number to attend #lindyhop and #swingdance workshops at Gulu youth center. As today is our last day in Gulu. We are calling all dancers to come in much time and also invite more girls to take part on today's class as we are going to focus more on #lindyhop which requires us to dance with partners. As you had requested me as Okurut George to talk more about dance opportunities and what is needed as a dancer to be having, cause many have been dancing but they don't see any progress in their dancing. Let's keep time and we share more on that angle because we learn from each other always. #Kitgum District will be our next stop so if you are there just get ready for us. @blacklindyhf @bluemarbleday @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @camphollywood @littlebigswingcamp @lia_mar_7 @bad_ass_jazz_festival @herrangdancecamp @savoycup_official @anduze_jazz #gulu #peacedanceproject #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #lindyhop #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #swingout #solojazzpower #SoloJazz #swingdancing #swingdancer #swingdancefestival #swingdance #laswingers #blacklindyhoppersfund #frannkiemanning (at Gulu, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxpKkKIED-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Show me a person who found love in his/her life and did not celebrate it with a dance.” ― Shah Asad Rizvi This is why we have decided to celebrate the legacy of #FrankieManning and #NormaMiller through introducing #LindyHop and #Swingdance to different parts of Uganda 🇺🇬. As today, we start our workshops with dancers of Gulu. We got an amazing teachers who will be sharing with these dancers through zoom from USA that's @time2swing and that gives us the love and unity is the community. We are still looking for teachers who can share their knowledge of #Lindyhop and #Swingdance through zoom to dancers in Northern Uganda. Thank you @blacklindyhf for standing with us on this cause so that we can have more Africans coming back to the dance. @peacedanceprojectgulu thank you for giving us the space to share in with dancers of Gulu and we can't wait to do more collaborations in dance, so that our communities can grow more bigger. If you are interested in sharing your knowledge of #swingdance and #lindyhop to dancers of Northern Uganda through zoom, don't hesitate to contact me for info about that. The class always begin from 15:00 o'clock to 17:00 o'clock in Gulu on 03rd -06th December 2022. @frankiemanningfoundation @blacklindyhf @pacificswingdance @swingstudio22firenze @lindyfest @lindyhopchamps @lindyhop.russia @lindygroove @peterandnaomi @kir.dance @solojazzmachine @laswingdanceposse @savoycup_official @savoystompfestival @savoyband.to @savoystudyo @littlesavoy.vigo @jumptownswing @bad_ass_jazz_festival @collectivevoicesforchange #peacedanceproject #SoloJazz #solojazzmoves #solojazzdance #solocharleston #charlestonsc #charlestonlife #lindy #lindyhoplife #lindyhopping #Lindyhop #lindyfocus #lindyhopdance #1920s #1930s #1930sjazz #Ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #blacklindyhoppersfund #BLHF (at Gulu, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cls2qEdLplA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First day of workshop wasn't easy for the turn up, as dancers were a bit late and we got to know that they had miscommunication on what time to start. The class was really so good with our teachers from USA that's @time2swing. As they had to wait for us and we had fund doing the choreography of #FrankieManning first stop with #NormaMiller, as we are celebrating her birthday and also her legacy the queen of swing. We shall start sharing some videos online soon but for now just enjoy the pictures, from this Northern Uganda tour for introduction of #lindyhop and #swingdance. If you are out there interested in sharing your knowledge of Swing Dance history and it's values, just don't hesitate to DM us so that you can have time to share it with dancers in Northern Uganda. Also we are still looking for more support as we still have another district to reach out too. We have got a lot of different communities, and countries inviting us to introduce Lindyhop and Swing Dance to them but we lack that support for us to go to them. Let's get together and support each other for the growth of swing dance and Lindyhop in Africa too now. We are calling out loud to the swing dance and Lindyhop communities out there to come and stand with us on this cause, we are building up now. Thank you @time2swing once again everyone enjoyed the class even though we had to do it through zoom as with the current technology. #NormaMiller #FrankieManning #1920s #1930s #solojazz #solocharleston #firststop #swingout #Swingdance #swingdancing #gulu #swingdancelife #swingdancelessons #lindy #lindyhopper #NorthernUganda #blacklindyhoppersfund #lindyhopping #lindyhop #yoga #acroyoga #lindyhopping #instructorokurutgeorge #peacedanceproject #Ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda (at Gulu, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CluVQwvIlfs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
