Ooooooooh wow we did it again and this happiness can't stop seriously because seeing young children raising the Uganda 🇺🇬 flag to the world, it's really so amazing. @lindyhopchamps thanks so much for giving up that opportunity of showcasing and competing at the same time which is a great experience for these lovely children always. My hope is one day to perform and compete live on that ground so that people can experience and energy of the children well. I need to thank everyone who worked with me to make this dream come true from China to USA 🇺🇸 building connection around the world. For those who missed it please check out International Lindyhop Championships pages and youtube or being patient because I will share out on my platforms because we need to celebrate together. @lindyhopchamps @f.schagelin @hotsugarband @awhite211 @theswingcall.marseille @monasunshine @rusty.frank @time2swing @charlestonlin @lost0in0seoul @the_arts_today_ @usmissionuganda @blacklindyhf @winterblackswingfestival @frankiemanningfoundation @hodimaputoafroswing @albahamburgerin @allthatswing.lt @all_balboa @celesteymarianolindy @renaissancerevolutionary #lindyhopfestival #swinger #swingout #swingdancing #lindyhopper #solojazz #Charleston20s #charlestondance #charleston #solojazzdance #heartofdanceafricarythms #SwingDanceUganda (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW2WPZJITVR/?utm_medium=tumblr

During my Cross district tour with the motorbike has I reached Lira district that's where I met these amazing dancers called @Supreme Dancers who have been struggling so much with the survival during this Covid19 situation, because they are full time dancers and through performance in clubs and churches that's how do usually get their income from but now, they are all closed, no where to get from but the universe, motherland and God is great always as they survive slowly. They told me Okurut has you have come to Lira, let's use these little time you are here to do something and they were so much interested in #Lindyhop and #Swing Dance, so among the choreographies I have done, we decided to do the one from @RobinCarlson and @Jerryfoote of Dance Force Production with the song called #I'm Crazy'Bout My Baby' by @naomisdevils . It attracted attention of many people has we performed in down town market and we left people with a lot of question marks ❓❓❓ because they didn't understand what kind of dance, we were dancing at all, has they have never seen it before. Now I need to go back to Lira for atleast one to two weeks teaching these dancers and not them only but there are many groups of dancers there Support me through this project of sharing Lindyhop and Swing Dance in Uganda 🇺🇬. Here is the link for youtube channel please support always through subscribing, sharing and commenting. https://youtu.be/0M6rLhnCZwo Long live @Frannkie Manning, @Naomi Miller, @Charles Chester @MickeyDickson @Judy and others whom I didn't mention. @blacklindyhf @kelly_the_tailor @time2swing @laswingdanceposse @lindyhopchamps @swingfortyone @theswinginhermlins @jenhodgebass @monasunshine @usmissionuganda @alpharhythmkings @facethecurrent @allthatswing.lt @cnn @bbcafrica @frankiemanningfoundation #blhf #swing #lindyhop #lindyhoplife #children #uganda #communuty #solojazz #Charleston20s #lindy #swingdancing #swingout #swinger #swingconnects #swingdance (at Lira, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTiTtQaiWk1/?utm_medium=tumblr

On my cross districts ride in Uganda 🇺🇬 to meet different dancers who are willing to practice #Swing dance or #Lindyhop because we need it to broad dance in Uganda and also how can we participate in different swing dance events and festivals around the world. I redid the choreography from #Robin Carlson & #Jerry Foote who are the Directors of Dance Force Productions, an award-winning professional dance company which provides dance entertainment for corporations, charity galas, fashion shows, Mitzvahs, and private parties. The simplicity and enjoyment on this routine is amazing and it touched a lot of people around the world 🌍🌍🌍 that's why I did with them too. We practiced only few hours has they have roots of afro, dancehall and traditional in them. Here I introduce to #Supremedancers from Lira together with Swing Dance Uganda on "I'm Crazy'Bout My Baby' song by @naomisdevils . Video dropping soon 🔜🔜🔜 Also am calling for the support for us to go back to Lira and camp there for two weeks has we practice with these dancers on Lindyhop and Swing Dance. @lindyhopchamps @capcapeventiswing @herrangdancecamp @swingfortyone @swingpatrolberlin @__.iamrachel.__ @snaileybailey @frankiemanningfoundation @f.schagelin @lost0in0seoul @torontolindyhop @lindyhopromania @lindyhop_bogota @lindyhop.russia @lindygirona #solojazz #1920s #1940s #1920sjazz #Charleston20s #Charleston #swing #lindyhoplife #communuty #dance #swingdance #children #uganda #rootsofjazz #swingandshout #swingjammerz #swingfest #swingdancefestival #blhf #blhfoundation #SwingDanceUganda (at Lira, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTReoqdrIjA/?utm_medium=tumblr

We have been so quiet has with the lockdown in Uganda 🇺🇬 and now resuming back on training slowly, so now we are dropping you some of the choreographies which were sent to us by lovely and amazing dancers around the world. Here is Robin and Jerry who got the chance to choreograph a piece for the young dancers of Heart of Dance African Rythm through Swing Dance Uganda. They also said "Thank you Okurut for reaching out and working so hard with those wonderful dancers". Still continue with appreciation to Naomi & Her Handsome Devils for recording a great version of I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby. We know that Covid19 has distracted over craziness but we can still be crazy about our babies ahahahahahahahah. So Robin Carlson & Jerry Foote are the Directors of Dance Force Productions, an award-winning professional dance company which provides dance entertainment for corporations, charity galas, fashion shows, Mitzvahs, and private parties. They have been featured on Discovery Health Channel, the Food Network, and performed for NBA All Star Game VIP Party, the All-Star Baseball VIP Party, Beyonce's 21st Birthday Party, as well as the Broadway cast of Chicago. They have performed with Maroon 5, One Republic, Los Lonely Boys, Taylor Dayne, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Gloria Gaynor, Archie Bell, Jeannie Tracey, Martha Wash, The Bellamy Brothers, The Fab 5, and the Village People. Besides performing, Robin & Jerry teach private social dance lessons for individuals, groups, and schools, as well as choreographing musicals for high schools.
