Eighty-eight year old Skippy Blair—an icon in the world of dance—is the headliner at this year’s Monterey Swingfest January 12-16.
Daily classes start at 10am, followed by workshops, open dancing, contests and awards into the wee hours, with free basic swing classes Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 1pm.
The event concludes Monday with Blair teaching West Coast Swing at 11am, followed by a three hour dance workshop from 12-3pm. (How does she do it?)
Admission is $145 per person, and all classes will be held at the Monterey Hyatt Regency.
