Max Pitruzzella and Annie Trudeau, Studio 88-SWING teachers and performers have recently won the Canadian Swing Dance Championships ‘Canadian Showcase’ Division. They have won the Showcase division in the last two International Lindy Hop Championships and will participate again this year August 19-22 in Washington D.C. They will also perform with their collegue Ninjammerz and with the Swinging Air Force troupe in the team division.
But before their trip to Washington D.C., Max and Annie will go teach in Sweden at the famous Herrang Dance Camp for Week #5 and pass by Denver for Lindy On the Rocks before coming back to Montréal.
Annie Trudeau, Max Pitruzzella, Natasha Ouimet and their friend Ninjammerz Thomas Blacharz from France had the honor to perform with the great Electro-Swing band Caravan Palace twice lately. First, in front of more than 50,000 people, they performed at the famous International Montreal Jazz Festival to the song Kleptomanie. The concert was a surprise for the public and the dancers were well acclaimed! Caravan Palace producer and musicians liked the dancers so much that they invited them to dance with them again at the Festival d’Été in Quebec city the following week. Again, a tremendous success. You can watch both clips on Youtube, thanks to Patrick Szmidt and Davis Thurber for their work on videotaping and editing.
