Evin Galang

Evin Galang stumbled upon Lindy Hop in 1997 trying to avoid a pick up artist.  She will be forever grateful to that mystery man for giving her the excuse to find the love of dance.  Two years later, she discovered Blues dancing in her home, Chicago.  For over 10 years, Evin has been traveling around the U.S. and Europe teaching Lindy Hop and Blues, and is known for her connection, flow and musicality.  When she's not on the dance floor, Evin is thinking up new words to songs she already knows.  And thinking about what the consequences would have been, had the pick up artist been a better blues dancer...  

Huy Huynh

One of Huy’s greatest memories as a child was playing old gospel hymns on the church organ during Sunday service.  Although music has always been a great love in his life, Huy was involved in many activities. He was a varsity swimmer and rower, had roles in plays and musicals, and has studied multiple forms of martial arts. Entering college in 2002, Huy was looking for a change from his usual and decided to join the Vanderbilt Swing Club to learn to dance.  In 2004, Huy was offered the opportunity to teach beginner swing dance for Music City Motion in Nashville, TN.  Huy has taught weekly beginner and intermediate level Lindy and Charleston at the University of Alabama Fitness Center.  His greatest challenge teaching a social dance in Huntsville has been structuring his class to suit a room full of technical minds (i.e. Engineers, Programmers, and Physicists).  Huy currently teaches, Blues, Lindy Hop, and Charleston for Down South Swing in Atlanta, GA.  He has taught beginner level blues at Buenos Aires Blues and is looking forward to teaching beginner blues at EtB.
