SWING CATS

The Swing Cats Rhythm Revue is the San Francisco Bay Area's hottest Swing dance performance troupe! Founded by world-renowned instructors, Rob and Diane van Haaren, the group specializes in Swing Era dances from the 1920's to 1940's. The Swing Cats' repertoire includes: classic jazz, flapper-girl Charlestons, crazy-legged Shag, fast-paced Lindy Hop with heart-stopping aerials, and everything else in between and beyond!... From its beginning in 1998, the mission of the troupe has been to bring Swing Era dances to audiences worldwide through performance and instruction. At home in the San Francisco Bay Area, the place many have dubbed the hub of the modern Swing Revival, the Swing Cats have brought exhibitions and workshops to the area's swing communities from Sacramento to Monterey. Beyond their hometown, the Cats have been invited to perform at some of the most prestigious swing gatherings in the world, such as Camp Hollywood and Camp Catalina in Southern California, and Herrang Dance..
