About Kevin and Sarah:
Kevin St.
Laurent and Sarah Spence Adams have each been teaching and
performing
lindy hop across the globe for the last several years. After a
spontaneous
and successful competition together at Swingin' New England
2006, Kevin
and Sarah have begun working together, developing a variety of
new
material that combines their dance styles and techniques.
Kevin is
known for his ability to adapt his dancing to complement the
style
and tempo
of the music. His primary focus is musical interpretation and
partner
connection. Fast driving tempos inspire him to "fly" at high
altitudes
while slower, groovier songs bring out his fancy footwork.
Regardless
of tempo or style, Kevin's versatility, musicality, and
creativity
have shown to create a powerful and energetic dance. With Carla
Heiney,
Kevin holds a variety of titles including two time American
Lindy
Hop
Champions (2001 & 2002), two time US Open Lindy Hop Champions
(2001 & 2002), and two time North Atlantic Lindy Hop Champions
(2002 & 2003).
In Sarah's
classes, she emphasizes using strong partner connection, partner
awareness,
and solid technique to create powerful and innovative dancing.
She brings
to the social dance floor energy and creativity but emphasizes
that a
strong partnership during every dance is the key to swing
dancing. A
member of
the influential dance troupes Minnies Moochers and Mad Dog!,
Sarah is an
articulate dance instructor who has also won a variety of
international, national, and regional competitions at events
including the
Ultimate
Lindy
