Terry Monaghan

     
   
Terry Monaghan, co-founded the Jiving Lindy Hoppers, the original UK dimension of the new 1980’s resurgence of interest in the Lindy Hop. Their many tours to date include two “old-style” 50-gig coast-to-coast US tours with a band, and in a bus. Although representing the JLH in the US, Terry has relinquished European management of the JLH, to concentrate on research and writing. He is working on a PhD on the Savoy Ballroom, writes for the London publications the “Dancing Times” and “The Guardian” and has just been elected as a board member of the US “Society of Dance History Scholars” Further details: www.SavoyBallroom.com.
