KATE HEDIN Kate Hedin began her slightly frightening workshop of Balboa and Lindy Hop in 2002, when she began dancing and teaching for Get Hep Swing in Cleveland. Her appreciation for the dance is only surpassed for her bizarre attractiion to dorky thin guys, which is why she partners and teaches wih Bobby White in Atlanta and David Rehm in Washington, DC. She recently took second place at the 2006 American Classic Balboa Championships and is the 2005 Intergalactic Balboa Champion as well as the 2005 Eastern Balboa Champion. Her passion is exploring and inventing footwork and styling variations in Balboa and Lindy that doesn't harm leads. Otherwise, Kate goes to school in Baltimore and spends her time explaining how to pronounce her last name.
