London (Lyon)

Angela hails from London. She has a background in music and dance, which was encouraged by her musical family. She started social dancing over ten years ago and discovered Lindy Hop in 1991 at the famous London Club Jitterbugs. Ryan Francois, Julie Oram, Sing Lim and Ron Leslie were her teachers.

Her first international workshop was in Paris, since then the French Lindyhoppers have been close to her heart. She is very popular around the dance camps in Europe and in the USA, and has taught at the Herräng Dance Camp for several years. Angela is a keen social dancer. Her sense of humor and improvisation is noted not only in her dancing but also in her teaching.

In summer 2001, Angela taught at the Swing City Festival in Zurich and performed there with The Rhythm Hot Shots. After that she danced, sang and acted on the European Swing Bus tour of the group.

In addition to her teaching, Angela is the Co-founder and Artistic Director of The Cotton Clubbers: an all female dance troupe specialising in vernacular jazz, who organise events and workshops as well as perform.
