Ike is a longtime swing DJ from Grand Rapids, Michigan, who doesn’t like writing bios. Instead, here’s a music recommendation—have you heard Al Sears’ album The Big Raw Tone? It features 23 badass tenor sax tracks packed with fun, tangible rhythms perfect for the dance floor and is just one of my all-time favorites. Fun fact: Al Sears composed Castle Rock and recorded it alongside Johnny Hodges. The track was ultimately released under Hodges’ name.

Lem has been dancing for the past 8 years and has loved every minute of it. They were introduced to swing dancing by their older siblings when they were a teen. They have traveled around the Midwest to follow their passion for dance. From Blues to Lindy Hop, Lem will spin tunes that will get you moving!

Sarah began dancing in 2011 in Cleveland and started DJing soon after. Based in Indianapolis, she teaches and DJs regularly in scenes around Indiana and has DJed lindy hop and balboa dances around the country. Sarah loves the improvisational nature of lindy hop and the strong connection between the dance and the music. Her favorite songs to DJ are the ones that swing hard and get everyone in the room moving!

When they’re not on the dance floor Kenz can be found in full shrimp pose over their latest craft project or nerding out about their latest book/tv obsession.
