About the Instructors:

Al Mayberry and Mary DeLave started swing dancing in 2009. They did not learn swing dance quickly but kept taking a lot of lessons because of how much fun they were having. Within all of those lessons they started to occasionally hear key points in connection and momentum skills that just a few teachers would talk about. Those key points turned out to be breakthroughs for them. As they shared these key points with others, people started to ask them whether they taught swing dance. Al and Mary started teaching their first classes for beginners in 2013 and have put together fun and easy ways to learn swing dancing ever since. They continue to take classes and workshops from others. Using mid-tempo songs that are fun and full of life their students are often seen grinning & laughing while learning.

Al & Mary have moved up to Gualala from the Bay Area and hope to bring the joy of swing dancing to the Mendonoma Area.
