Bobby White has taught Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Solo Jazz around the world for over a decade. He has won various championships in all, and with each, Bobby strives to innovate and create a new voice, while still capturing the spirit of the original dancers. He has won almost every major title in the modern Balboa scene, including most recently two back-to-back All Balboa Weekend ACBC Championship titles (2015 & 2016, and 2018), The International Lindy Hop Championships Balboa division (2015), the California Balboa Classic (2016 & 2017) and the National Jitterbug Championships Balboa division (2016) with Annabel Quisao. He is the author of the popular swing dance blog Swungover, and the book Practice Swing: A Choose Your Own Adventure Guide to Getting Better at Swing Dancing. He is the co-founder of The Harvest Moon Hoppers, a New York performance group that specializes in taking inspiration from the Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers. As a dancer, he is widely recognized for his floppy hair, and as a teacher, by his sound effects.
