Michael & Persephone
Bio & Photos
Michael and Persephone come to you from the San Francisco Bay Area, where Michael was one of the first in the current swing revival to offer regular Lindy Hop classes back in 1995.  Persephone joined the "Shag Daddy" in 1997 and together they travel across the western United States teaching and performing Lindy Hop, East Coast Swing, Balboa, and St. Louis Shag.  In these workshops and in their regular weekly classes Michael and Persephone are known for their unusually high quality of instruction, as they provide every detail the students need for enjoyable lead-and-follow social dancing.
