Never Surrender On What You Truly Want. Find a way, not an excuse. Find a reason to do it, not to give up on it. Create a path where there is none, because you will only regret it otherwise! There is always a reason not to do it and always a way to fail, but there is also always a way to succeed and a reason to do it. This was the place, where the magic of #LindyHop and #Swingdance started from and am happy to be back to give it out to more dancers, who are willing to take it like the way I did it. From all other districts that I went through only #Kitgum district as tried the best to engage girls into the dance and am so happy for the improvement that. I love it the way each of them was feeling the music and dance even though it's their first time to give it a try. I believe with time, we shall more dancers from Kitgum who are like me to travel the world as they share with others. #blacklindyhoppersfund #blhfoundation #lindyhopperslife #LindyHop #lindyhopper #lindyhopping #lindyfocus #heartofdanceafricarhythm #herrangdancecamp #pacificswingdancefoundation #frannkiemanning #SoloJazz #solojazzdance #solocharleston #solojazzmoves #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #Ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda (at Kitgum Youth Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8IEe1raGo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What can I teach myself that can be useful in my life? 1. Accept the fact that not all friends are meant to stay in your life and many just want to use you. 2. Make sure you finish whatever stuff you have started, you waste more time by giving up on plans or anything real soon. 3. If you want to be perfect in anything, don’t forget to invest at least 10,000 hours. It could be driving, learning a new language etc. 4. Never replace some important tasks with urgent tasks! 5. If you are still a student in college, make sure you carry extensive research on topics more than whatever your professor gives to you. 6. As a man, be at least be settled in life before falling in love. 7. Even though taking risks is good, make sure you take calculated risks most especially when it involves a decision that might impact your life. Same thing with the settling of goals. There is a difference between realistic and unrealistic goals. There is also a difference between calculated and uncalculated risks! 8. Learn how to read paychecks and receipts anytime you make purchases. That's is the easiest way to start learning about how to manage and control money. 9. If nobody is jealous of you, then you are not really progressing in life. 10. Travel as much as you can, you will be amazed by how your view about life will change. #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #traveldancer #traveltheworld #swingdancer #swingdancing #swingdancelessons #lindy #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #lindy26 #solojazz #solojazzdance #solocharleston #solojazzmoves #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #SwingDanceUganda #peaceofmind #happiness #yogaflowwithokurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZAXdxr3GK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One step, two steps, three steps; like winds of time experience joy of centuries, when movements become revelations of the dance of destinies. Dance is one of one things that holds people together with a big smile and happiness in their hearts. So happy that we get to learn from each other so that we grow on our careers as dancers and as individuals in our communities. Thanks so much @sunnysideswingstudio for arranging this classes and for the love with care, you have for me. 📷 @betinafriedafischer #traveldancer #sunnysideswingstudio #swingdancing #traditional #Charleston #1920s #1920sjazz #1930s #SoloJazz #solojazzmoves #solojazzdance #darmsadt #SwingDanceUganda (at Darmstadt-Martinsviertel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci9tM74rzex/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way. We need to thank @swinginaachen_ev for each step, we enjoyed on the floor together, that laughter, body groove and the music 🎶 from Uganda. Not forgetting the love and support you have shown me that's what we need to promote always in the world of #Lindyhop and #swingdance. We can't wait to see you in Uganda one day for the exchange, so that we can learn from each other. @swinginaachen_ev Thanks so much once again. So now @milanoswingfest @savoy_swing_italy @swingcatsitaly @retrofestival.ita @italian.passion am coming to Italy, let's do something together and I will be there for three days. @Yulia we really stop appreciating you for making this class to happen. #swinginaachen #Swing #swingdancing #swingdancers #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #swingdancefestival #SoloJazz #solojazzdance #solotraveler #1920s #1930s #traditional #acholi #charleston #Germany #Aachen #FrankieManning #collectivevoicesforchange #BadAssJazzFestival #LittleSwingDanceFest #SwingDanceUganda (at Aachen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CipSeQrLI3E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Understand that life is an experience to grow and evolve. Every decade has a core theme that we need to grow into. If we miss it, it will be hard to catch up. We can’t live our 20ties in our 60ties nor our 70ties in our 40ties. In life, the ultimate impact you will have is not about you. It is the difference you made in the life of others, moving them forward or contributing to their life. In the grand scheme of things, all experiences are just that - experiences. We learn and evolve through them - the great, the good, the bad, the ugly. The key in overcoming every challenge is to learn how to self-regulate without numbing yourself out, shutting down your heart or emotions. This is true mastery. Best wishes I am so excited that this year, I was so closed to one our leaders in the world of dance that's #Lindyhop, SoloJazz, Charleston, #Blues and #Tapdance that's @chestera.whitmore who also featured on commercial advertise with @usher to learn more about the culture of these dances. Soon I break the news which he told me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 anyway I need also to thank @mikaelahellsten who gave me advice of being close to leaders like #Chester if I want to learn how this culture and the history of the dance. Much more to be shared with my students in Uganda 🇺🇬 I have started to receive choreographies from different teachers to share with my students in Uganda 🇺🇬 when I get back that's so exciting that the community is growing everyday. @chestera.whitmore @blacklindyhf @frankiemanningfoundation @alessandra.cant @anduze_jazz @lindyhopchamps @ilhc.europe #lindyhopperslife #lindyhopper #Lindyhop #solojazz #solojazzmoves #solocharleston #charlestonsc #solotraveler #solojazzdance #dancelife #danceinschools #communityswing #1920s #1930s #swingdancers #SwingDanceUganda #swingaroundtheworld #OkurutGeorge (at Stockholm, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_vMmYLepl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happiness comes from something so small always and it doesn't need much to be happy. Here is @bibi_bellows who decided to look for us as she has been watching us on different Lindyhop platforms around the world but now before she travels back home that's UK, she decided to stop in Uganda 🇺🇬 to dance with us even if she has taken almost a year in Sierra Leone without dancing but now here she got to bring her energy back before getting back to home. I will be sharing out the videos of the choreography and also social dancing we had in the community that's #Heart of Dance African Rhythm. She brought that energy which gave the challenge to all children and all of them really admired her, so they have asked us to keep up with social dancing at the centre always. If you are out there and you could love to dance with us or support the communities, we teach always just don't hesitate to contact us. #LindyHop #lindyhoplife #lindyfocus #LindyHopper #lindyhopdance #lindyfocus #lindyhopperslife #swingdancing #swingdancer #swingdancelessons #swingmusic #swingdanceuganda #charleston #charlestondance #charlestonlife #solojazz #solojazzpower #solojazzdance #1930s #1920s #1920sjazz #blhf #ilhc #frannkiemanning #SwingDanceUganda (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbn6YRfgMkQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

On Sunday, 27th February 2022. I got to visit some of children whom I have been teaching during the period of lockdown in Nsambya, Uganda 🇺🇬 that's Heart of Dance African Rhythm whom they got scholarship from Melissa foundation for them to acquire best education at St. Janan Luwum Bombo campus. It was moment of joy and tears to see each other has I had taken long without visiting them again, and I had to dance with them some #lindyhop without music just to feel the beats and rhythms in our body but what they requested me is that I should go back and conduct some of the #yoga, #swing dance and #lindyhop classes because they have taken long without doing them and no one can teach them apart from me. So now here I say that we love joy and happiness in our lives but we have to get them from people around us mostly because if you are alone sometimes, they can't happen well without having someone giving you that vibes or hipe. Now am calling anybody willing to facilitate me on do some classes with these lovely students at St. Janan Luwum Bombo as we shall start with #yoga then do #swing dance and #lindyhop also introduce to them #Shag dance, I will be so happy to see people reaching out to me to support these classes and I will share with you the videos and photos of the classes. #visitationDay #Jananluwum #swingdancing #LindyHop #lindyhoplife #charlestonlife #charlestondance #charleston #swingdancer #swingdancelessons #swingdancelessons #shagdance #shag #SoloJazz #solojazzmoves #solojazzdance #solotravel #heartofdanceafricanrhythm #inspire #share #motivation #okurutgeorge #uganda🇺🇬 #yogaeverywhere #yogainschools #yogalove #yogateacher (at St Janan Luwum Ss Kabalagala) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cag9RtztldF/?utm_medium=tumblr
